again, their secondary looked fine today

They're returning one true starter, but they're also returning players who got significant PT last year.
I agree, they're going to struggle defensively this year, but I don't think they're going to play any great offenses either.
At least no QBs that are worth a shite, unless Juice Williams improves significantly from what we saw Saturday.

i think iwy is more concerned about how good they really are, as opposed to how good their record will be. its two totally different things

if by players you mean one linebacker, then yes.

I think so. They had a good offense and defense. I think they are just as good, if not better as a team than BYU is.

I'm not going to look up exactly which backups got playing time last year.
It's certainly possible that Cincy drops a game. I think the general sentiment here, though, is that they really shouldn't.

The major concern for me on this Bearcat team is the defense, which unbelievably only returns one starter! On top of that, the vast majority of the departed players played significant roles in Cincinnati’s recent success on defense. In the past three years, Cincinnati has allowed 20.1, 18.8 and 19.6 points per game! Only West Virginia has been as consistent. So, that means that Cincinnati is starting from scratch on a defense which has been one of the conference’s best. However, not all is lost. The defense is switching to a 3-4 and the expected starting ends do have some experience. Seniors Curtis Young and Alex Daniels did combine for 40 tackles and five sacks last year and expected starting nose tackle John Hughes did make 20 tackles and 2 sacks as a freshman. Thus it wouldn’t surprise me if the Bearcats fielded a solid defensive line this season but I think they’ll need a little bit of time to get their feet wet. At linebacker, senior Andre Revels has the most experience, having played significant minutes last year and contributed 59 tackles. He will have to be the leader of a linebacking corps which needed augmented by former Notre Dame quarterback Demetrius Jones! When I see a team switching a quarterback to linebacker, I have some huge question marks. The secondary loses three NFL draft picks (the entire defense loses four) and senior safety Aaron Webster is the only starter back. Webster, who notched 60 tackles and an interception last fall, will be relied upon to guide a group which could start three sophomores next to him. To say that Cincinnati’s defense will take a step back this fall is an understatement. However, the pieces for a good group are in place to perhaps step up as the season progresses.
i know they dont really play any electric offenses. i just dont think its going to take a very good one to beat them.
but anyways...

Just for the record, they play Southeast Missouri next week.

Yes, OSU is in two weeks. Sorry.

This is why there should be a playoff.
Right now when we talk about contenders, we're talking about teams with a schedule full of cream puffs. Cincy could go undefeated and get in. ND's schedule, other than Southern Cal, is a joke. Penn State has an OOC Murderer's Row of Akron, Eastern Illinois, Cuse, and some other MAC rent-a-win.
With all those weak schedules, OK State could be left out because they have to play Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and the Big XII North winner.

Exactly. It wouldn't shock me if they go 9-3. It just looks like they can/should go undefeated.
