The Other Side: Bearcats want balance, takeaways

The Cincinnati Bearcats football team beat Purdue University 38-20 on Saturday and now have arguably their biggest matchup of the season u2015 a matchup with the No. 6 University of Houston Cougars.

After a disappointing 7-6 campaign in 2015, this will be the first test of where the Bearcats stand in the American Athletic Conference in 2016.

Cincinnati saw an improvement all-around in their second game compared to their first, as their offense committed no turnovers and their defense forced five.

This was compared to three offensive turnovers and their defense only forcing three in their week one matchup with the University of Tennessee at Martin.
