Memphis on ESPN

[Bearcat Rob]

We barley sneaked by Miami OH but a win is a win. Gunner may be out so redshirt freshman hayden moore likely to start this thursday. Memphis is 3-0 averaging 54 pts a game so our defense better come ready to play. Big showcase for our program on ESPN not jumping off ship yet but our guys better bring it memphis can play

I've been on a life boat on the side of the ship since the Illinois game three years ago. This will be ugly on Thursday.

Saw Memphis at -6.5. Why isn't it 13?

 

[coachpipe]

50-17 Memphis. But it may not be that close

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Same as last year

Memphis 41
UC 14

 

[UCBearcats]

Memphis - 38
UC - 24

**We stink

 

[Mcginnjw]

Memphis - 38
UC - 24

**We stink

With Kiel

Memphis - 56
UC -31

Without Kiel

Memphis - 63
UC -13

Did you ever think that we would predict getting blown out by MEMPHIS when we were in the Big East?

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

With Kiel:
Memphis 48
Cincinnati 20

Without Kiel:
Memphis 55
Cincinnati 17

They beat BG 44-41 at BG. They allowed BG to score 41 points, hardly a stingy defense. I think we have a better offense compared to BG with or without Gunner. We can win this game.

Bearcats 35-Memphis 31

Bowling Green is good.

Bowling Green is good.

Oh hey, I agree. BG would most likely beat us. BG is really good. However, I don't see the BG offense anywhere near that of UC. So I conclude that if BG can score 41, so can we. Also, I think our defense is much improved.

 

[Cin City]

Gentlemen, if we limit our turnovers (0-2) and force them into 1 or 2, we CAN win this game. At this point in the season, we are our own worst enemy when we give away points.

Bearcats 35
Tigers 31

I hope you're right.

BG looked good beating Maryland by 3 td's....not so good losing to Tennessee by 4 td's...and they lost to Memphis at home

Spread up to 10. Almost have to take the points, right?

Yeah if you are a "by the book" gambler, it makes sense to almost always take a road dog when the spread is +10 or more. Under Tuberville we haven't played close against teams with comparable talent away from home.

@ Illinois 17-45
neutral vs. UNC 17-39
@ Miami-FL 34-55
neutral vs. VT 17-33

Makes me want to stay away from this game all together.

I'm in a weekly pickem, so I have to play it. I love taking points, but yeah the track record lately hasn't been great.

I see the line has moved down from 10 to 7 1/2 should we expect Gunner to be better than we are being led to believe?

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Spread started at 7, and jumped to a 10.5 when it didn't look like Gunner would play. Now since he's been listed at probable the line dropped back to 7. Might want to get on Memphis.

Spreads lock on Tuesday when the league commissioner sets the games for the week, so I still get it at 10. I'm going with the Cats. This way if they don't cover, I can gripe about Tuberville. Win win.
