Game Thread: Cincy @ CU—October 26 @ 8:15 PM ESPN

When Allbuffs starts complaining about late games, I can't help but wonder how many of the complainers, within the last week, have stayed up later the game will last, just to:
A. Drink
B. Argue with their SO
C. Doom scroll
D. Fight with their SO
E. Binge a show
G. Cheat on their SO
H. Read a book
I. Any other behavior that the next day they wish had skipped to get the sleep

I mean, I know some people are serious about the "early to bed, early to rise" bit, but can't be that many. We're simply not that healthy of a group.

The scheduling has been weird this season. You would think that a road trip to Arizona meant a late start but nope a 2 pm start in Tucson...at least the weather forecast appears decent.

Cincy fans are fuming too...they have that 10:15 pm local start too. ESPN is counting the dollars they will be getting from advertising revenue for this one.

I have no issues with not being ranked or even receiving votes for that matter. Our schedule has kind of turned out to be pretty soft if we’re being honest.

31-19 is opponents record, but 18-4 came from NDSU, Nebraska and Kansas State (1-2 record).

End of the day, this is now the life of Big 12 programs. Making the playoff is going to take winning the conference or going 12-1/11-2 if you lose in the CCG.
 
Cincy receiving AP votes. CU is not. They have played very good defense this year. This is a tough opponent. Remember, lots of good players there with good recruiting from around their 2021 playoff season.
Defense has been their weak point this year, not terrible on D but not close to very good.
 
52nd in overall defensive efficiency, most of the Big 12 teams they've played aren't good on offense; TT, Houston, UCF. ASU is the best at 36th.
TTU is 18th total offense and 18th scoring offense in the country and both #1 in Big 12, but they gave up 44 to them.

Cincy is better than anyone thought they’d be, but still probably 4th or 5th toughest team CU will have faced
 
I watched the Bearcats’ game against Pitt. They probably should’ve won that game, as they let a big lead slip.

This is a team that hit the portal well last year, and notably replaced their QB for better results. QB Sorsby is decent. He can run a bit, has good size, and reasonably accurate. His deep balls have a lot of air on them, so they are 50/50 balls to some degree. Offensive line is capable with two good running backs. I like their offense.

Defense has been bend, don’t break. They don’t seem to generate a ton of pressure from the base defense, and sometimes the secondary misses some assignments, but generally solid in the red zone.

I think the key matchup is their rush offense versus our rush defense.

Overall, seems like a pretty even matchup.
 
The concern beyond bedtimes is that late kickoffs have been very weird at Folsom under Deion. It is a spot the team will be play in a lot as long as the ratings keep coming but earlier kickoffs seem to favor the team this season.
It's been a challenge.
