Cincinnati Form
Cincinnati have retained their place in the top 10 with three straight wins to start the season.
They made light work of their first two opponents, beating Miami (OH) 49-14 and Murray State 42-7.
They found the going a little tougher a week later as they trailed Indiana 14-10 at the half and 24-23 after the third.
The Bearcats were too strong for their hosts in the final period though, finding the endzone twice to win 38-24.
QB Desmond Ridder has showcased his arm and legs through two games. He is 54/83 for 748 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions. On the ground he has rushed for 72 yards and two TDs.
Ridder has shared the ball around with four receivers going for 110 yards or more.
Jerome Ford has been the star of the run game, rushing for 300 yards and six TDs. He has 20 yards receiving too.
The key to Cincinnati’s success so far has been the defense though. They are allowing just 19 points per game.

The Fighting Irish made hard work of their first two games to see their stock drop a little.
They needed an overtime field goal to beat Florida State 41-38, then need a late touchdown to edge Toledo 32-29.
