Cincy had a nice drive after Bama scored. Unfortunately it only generated 3 points.

Game? What game?

 

[mmp121]

Cinci D putting up a good fight, but afraid its only a matter of time before the superior athletes and machine that is Bama will prevail.

 

[BobPSU92]

bama’s offensive line gets movement. What a luxury that must be.

I get movement nearly every morning. Prunes Bob. Prunes.

 

[yboby]

Alabama LBers do a good job knocking down passes near the line of scrimmage. Two on that drive including what looked like a sure TD on first and goal for Cincy.

 

[mmp121]

On the plus side, Cincy has avoided the 31-0 performance of tO$U from 2016.

 

[yboby]

Cincy has excellent punt coverage.

 

[BobPSU92]

Cincinnati is competitive. I don’t get it.

 

[JoeBot409]

Bill O’Brien put on some weight. He has quite a rack on him now. Not a good thing.

 

[BobPSU92]

I like this Cincinnati sign in the stands:

Our school is older. (1819)

Our record is better. (13-0)

Our coach is much taller. (6’4”)

 

[Midnighter]

Cincinnati is competitive. I don’t get it.

They could score touchdowns but choose not to.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

BOB got 4 future NFL OL, a first round RB, and he's passing vs an undersized 3-3 stack.

FLO. has a lot of fighters at his disposal.

Until a team or two is able to poach some of these Offensive Linemen away from Alabama this level of dominance is going to continue.

 

[BobPSU92]

bama misses a field goal. The stage is too big for them.

Maybe they will enter the portal instead of waiting their turn?

 

[psuno1]

Ritter has to play way better if UC wants to win.

 

[BobPSU92]

bama has a player named Kool-Aid McKinstry. I wonder what he drinks.

 

[BobPSU92]

bama woke up late in the first half. 17-3 at halftime.

 

[AvgUser]

What was the last game/time that Alabama did not have the most talent between them and their opponent?

[NittPicker]

Bama was hitting their stride late in the half. The second half could be messy for Cincy.

 

[yboby]

Ever since Alabama called that time out on defense when Cincy had first and goal on its first possession, Cincy has done nothing on offense. Not sure they can handle the defensive pressure.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Bama’s entire OLine could start for the Steelers right now!

 

[mmp121]

Bama’s entire OLine could start for the Steelers right now!

And do a better job!?

 

[LionsAndBears]

I like Bama's pressure. I hope we put our CBs on an island tomorrow and bring gap pressure. We need to play at the LOS and in the Arkansas backfield to have a chance. We can't sit back and hope for the best with a host of backups.

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, sure TD if not for that deflection. But 17-7 wouldn’t make a difference, anyway. Bama is too good, good gracious me. Before the PSU-Miami Fiesta Bowl, we all knew that if we fell needed to pass to come from behind then it would have gotten ugly. Cincinnati better score a TD right off the second-half bat or it’s over.

Yeah, but could they start for Penn State?

SOFT. ZONE.

 

[BobPSU92]

Cincinnati is overmatched today. So, with Franklin headed to usc, eventually, does Sandy still hire Luke Fickell?

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Fickell ain't doing bad for a guy with 40-50th rated recruiting classes vs the #1.

They've put Williams out for now, but drops killed this drive.

 

[PAgeologist]

Bill O’Brien put on some weight. He has quite a rack on him now. Not a good thing.

Maybe he is transitioning to Billie Jo?

 

[Big_O]

Difference in this game is the huge talent gap. With the talent Alabama has they should be ahead by at least 45 points.

 

[PAgeologist]

Cincinnati D playing decent. Their O is awful though. Although Bama tends to make a lot of offenses look bad.

 

[psu31trap]

Alabama is able to sell success and a one way ticket to the NFL. Other teams have been able to wet their beaks (OSU-Clemson-Auburn-LSU) on occasion, but are not as consistent as Uncle Nick.

 

[Psu00]

Cincinnati D playing decent. Their O is awful though. Although Bama tends to make a lot of offenses look bad.

True but Cincinnati hasn’t been able to stop the run on D and on O they have poor blocking and an average QB. Never a good combination, much less when playing Bama.

Now 27-6 Bama. Can’t believe I have to root for a Bama vs Georgia repeat game from a few weeks ago.
