Cincinnati at Tulane Updates

[Walter]

Ridder is so hesitant to run and I don't understand why. That 6 yard run should have been 15 if he tucks it earlier.

The Bearcats are putting me to sleep.

Time to score a TD.

[John Anthony]

Man, what is going on with this UC team?

[Walter]

Ridder to Whyle for the TD... 21-12 Bearcats

If they are not careful a bunch of tears are going to be going on.

Defensively, start with Mike Tressel. The players just aren't comfortable in the 4-3. They've ran it the past two games and had their two worst defensive showings. Stick to the 3-3-5 and what Freeman/Fickell built. 

Offensively, I think they're trying to throw the ball too much to showcase Des. Play calling has been very questionable the past two games. No outside runs and the O line isn't getting push so they're getting stuffed a lot in the middle. Ran more off tackle on that last possession and had success. Need to get Tre Tucker and his 4.3 speed more involved on Jet Sweeps as well. No creativity with play calling right now.

This can’t go on vs. back to back 1-6 teams.  No reason it should be one possession score late in these games.  So frustrating.

Need to get off to better starts. They're really good with a lead when teams are forced to throw the ball against them. 

[Walter]

Man tackling and wrapping up has been really bad. I'd like to know what Tulane's YAC is right now. 

[Walter]

Ridder getting happy feet in the pocket leads to back to back no gains... His decision making hasn't been very good today. 

[Walter]

All of that for a delay of game... Just punt the ball. I would have went for it on 4th and 1.

[Walter]

Coby Bryant INT gives UC the ball back. 

[Walter]

Another wasted oppprtunity... Ridder has been TERRIBLE today. I'm just not seeing the 1st and 2nd round draft grades. Holds the ball way too long.

[Walter]

Defense bails the offense out again with a turnover. UC ball inside the Tulane 10.

[Walter]

10 yard line...6 yard gain on an off tackle run then a run up the middle for no gain and jump ball to Whyle on 3rd down that's no good. Leads to a FG. The offense has been as bad as the play calling. 

24-12 Bearcats after a FG
