Summary thoughts
SPECIAL teams improved-No big mistakes
Offense Slightly improved
Defense worse.

Gonna be another long season.
Meh, they had trouble stopping Cincy’s run and no huddle. The secondary is better and the pass rush was disruptive.

I didn’t like the play calling. But we won a game where we got kicked in the nuts. That’s actually a tremendous victory on top of our victory

commit a Pi and totally redeem yourself!!
Cinci had the matchup they wanted and went for the win. Their QB has been trying to take advantage of Hartzog all night. We finally made a play. We had ZERO pass rush tonight. None. Hopefully Cinci’s O line is better than some of us thought. Their QB is good.

Wowza - damn we caught a lot of breaks. The crowd did work. We converted a lot of 3rd downs. No TO’s. What a win - I will take it!!!!

that’s an improvement in the program! And got us the win tonight! Spent a decade failing in games like this, not getting breaks and having turnovers.

This game was far closer than I thought it would be. Is Cincinnati better than I thought or are we just not really any better than previous years? Time will tell. In that sense I don't think this game tells us very much. Although it does show that we had enough grit to win a close game that went down to the wire.

Garbage fourth quarter. Offense still lost. Defense couldn’t figure out how to stop the run.

Bad move for them to take a shot. We all KNEW we were about to lose if they just kept doing what they were doing. Glad they didn’t… not clean it up over these next 2 easier games so we can be better for conference play.

Possible. Let’s see what it looks like in a month. Good luck to usc this year. Big ten needs more good teams. But thanks for stopping by to be an ***
I was just testing if I could actually comment. Congrats on the win. Should be a good game on Nov 1!

Anybody know the status of Ive’s hammy? Cincy’s D was a taste of what NU will see in the B1G and they could obviously use his thump. Lot of reps for EJ in this game.

We made a lot of same stupid mistakes all night that always costs us games but still found a way to win this time. I was fully prepared to go to OT until that interceptio.
