With Heisman contender (that's right, I said Heisman contender) Gunner Kiel under center, the Bearcats will obviously be able to pass. What they get out of the running game, which has usually been an underrated strength, could push the offense to even greater heights.
In 2012 and 2013, Cincinnati led the American Athletic Conference in rushing. Last season, with Gunner Kiel playing quarterback and the Bearcats leaning a bit more towards the aerial route, the Bearcats still racked up 2,035 yards on the ground, while averaging a healthy 4.48 yards per carry.
