Can Cincinnati Pass Crucial Big 12 Road Test?

Cincinnati is 1-1 in the Big 12 going into this week in Orlando against UCF. The Bearcats shut out Houston in their opener to the conference season but could not sustain that momentum in a 44-41 loss to Texas Tech on the road. This week, the question for Cincinnati will be which version of their defense shows up to this game. They were torn apart by Texas Tech just one week after pitching a shutout against Houston. Whichever version of their Jekyll and Hyde defense wins the day will likely determine whether or not they get out of Florida with a win.

UCF Hopes to Avoid Third Straight Loss

The UCF Knights have lost two games in a row, both by double-digits, against Colorado and Florida. UCF is now 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12 after getting off to promising starts in both of those departments. This week, UCF will look to get back on track, but will need quarterback KJ Jefferson to step his game up for that to happen. Jefferson has just seven touchdown passes through five games this season and it is clear that running back RJ Harvey can't do it all for the Knights on offense.

Cincinnati vs UCF Prediction

We will lay the points with the home team in this weekend's Cincinnati vs UCF matchup in college football. The Knights should be able to bounce back nicely on offense against a Cincinnati defense that has struggled against the better teams on their schedule like Pitt and Texas Tech. Look for the Knights to stay above .500 with a win and for them to move to 2-1 in conference play.
