The Least You Should Know

The Bearcats head north to Oxford for a contest with Miami. On paper this game will not be close, UC simply has too much offense and too much depth not to win. But we all said the same thing two weeks ago, and that did not turn out so well.

Miami has changed their offensive tack from a year ago. With Zac Dysert they spread the field with receivers, gave the ball to Dysert and had him make plays. This season sans Dysert and Nick Harwell Miami is running a version of the flex bone made famous by Paul Johnson. But they don't look particularly comfortable doing it, at least they didn't against Kentucky. They can have success with that approach in conference play, but it will be harder against UC than against MAC school X.
