There really couldn’t have been a better start to the 2018 season for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Even if you did a simulation on NCAA Football 2014 and turned all the difficulty sliders down, there would still probably be at least one spat of difficulty here or there.
But what might have happened in a pretend simulation is irrelevant. The Bearcats are 3-0 and entering their last non-conference game of the schedule. Their opponents are the Ohio Bobcats, who were a team that look poised for Group of Five glory entering the year, but an uneven start has that potential hanging in the balance.
