Cincinnati Bearcats Football Keys To The Game: Kansas State Wildcats
Another week, another brutal scheduling spot for the Bearcats in their sixth road night game in Big 12 play since joining the conference last year. Kansas State awaits in Manhatten, trying to end a two-game losing streak, all while the Bearcats try to snap their three-game skid.
Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby and his receiver corps can wash away all the inconsistencies of the past month on Saturday. Kansas State has a solid defense overall, ranking 40th nationally in points allowed per game , with much of that strength powered against ground attacks., KSU is 25th nationally in EPA/rush allowed, second nationally in rushing success rate allowed, and allows just 3.1 yards per carry. It's going to be much harder to run the ball this week.
"How good are they? And Colorado, to me, they had a really good man-to-man scheme, and so we had a hard time getting open, therefore we didn't. Our completion percentage was not very high. This past weekend, these guys dropped a bunch of guys into coverage trying to deter you from throwing the football. So, we took advantage of the run game. So, I mean it's a little bit of both.
That can't keep happening this week to a UC defense that has turned into a very sound unit in limiting big plays . KSU is a highly efficient offense and will feast on short fields if it gets a chance. Cincinnati will be in business if it can cover kicks/punts better and force Kansas State to pass. They are efficient across the board, but you want the young Johnson dropping back and not running especially this month.
