Combination of both. I hate to judge how a game is going to go after one possession by each team, but there isn't one thing I can point to for Cinci right now. The Pitt pass rush dominated Cinci's o-line and Pitt didn't even need to throw one pass on offense because Cinci can't stop the run to save their life. If Pitt is running the ball this well on the first possession how's it going to be late in the game when the Cinci defense starts to wear down? Keep in mind Pitt can throw the ball, Stull is a pretty good QB, once they start mixing in some passes and keeping the Cinci defense off guard that's really going to make it tough.Gothmog8;1612857; said:Doesn't look like Cincy can stop the run very well... or Lewis is that good.

Cinci showing some life on offense now with the running game. I think that may be the way to go in this game for them. They need to control some clock to keep their defense off the field and getting too worn out.

They can't stop the run. Fresno State had the right idea, but they didn't have the horses to come out on the winning side. UConn had the right idea too, but they didn't figure it out until it was too late.
I'm glad UC finally has to face a team that will commit to running the football from the first snap, and has the players in place to make it work.
