Playing on the road is difficult. Jeering fans and unfamiliar locker rooms make for tough sledding. The Cincinnati Bearcats finally wrapped up their toughest stretch of the season last weekend, a three-game road trip which featured games against against Michigan, Miami (Ohio) and Navy. They scraped by enough to come away with a record still at .500. Now is the time to use home-field advantage to build on that.
On Saturday night, the Bearcats will host the Marshall Thundering Herd in a non-conference matchup at Nippert Stadium. The game is just the second home contest for the Bearcats this season and first against a Division I-A opponent.
