On to Cincinnati

Cincinnati had a bye this week and we play at Cincinnati. This team hasn't won an away game yet. Unsure how to feel about this game.
Not sure road record is a good measure of potential success at Cincinnati.
One loss was to Ohio that has been analyzed at from every angle possible and seems to have led to a positive adjustment to the offense. The other loss was to a team hunting for a playoff bid.
I'm thinking Cincinnati might allow for a better measure of how this season could end with all the road games left.
If the defense takes the ball away like yesterday, I like our chances.
I’m hoping that we aren’t the first to lose to an expansion team. But we are looking a lot better than anyone imagined so let’s go get it!
It's an interesting matchup between our D and their QB. He is a gifted player who can make something out of nothing. He will likely frustrate us with scrambling on a few 2nd and 3rd and longs. He's also not accurate and struggles to throw it downfield. We could use a couple picks to flip the field. Really have to clean up the tackling.
Mobile QBs are our biggest kryptonite. That’s gonna be a big issue.
Nobody:

I’ve done a little looking at team stats…
passing - Jones and Rocco are three yards apart. Their stats are nearly identical all across the board.
Rushing - Cincy has a primary who is heads above everyone else on both teams. Ave 5.3 per for over 400 yds.
Receiving - ISU has spread the ball around more.
Scoring - they ave 9 more per game at 30

They've played one fewer game, so they're a little ahead of us on offense. They're hard to get a read on as they played OU tough at home a week after losing to Miami OH at home.
They're averaging the third most plays per game in college football, so I'd expect us to play a lot like we did last night.
I feel Cincy has really lost a ton to the portal and NFL draft the last season and a half.
Probably two evenly matched teams in terms of talent. If our run game is at all like yesterday, I like our chances.. O line, Rocco, and the RB's have confidence.
I do not think Cincy's skill players at WR and RB will be as good as TCU's, for that reason I like the defense's chances to play well.
Heads up when I bought my tickets a month ago it was almost sold out.
If I remember right the visitor sections were upper level corner
