Cincinnati is good. Some would even say that Cincinnati is really good. Very few people, outside of southern Ohio, would say Cincinnati is great.
The reality of Cincinnati’s situation, is they caught everyone by surprise last season. They were talented enough, and slept on enough, to win 11 games. They finished the season ranked in the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. It was an awesome season, after a couple frustrating years.
In 2019, the Bearcats won’t catch anyone by surprise. Everyone knows they’ll run Michael Warren down your throat. That’ll open up downfield passing for Desmond Ridder.
