Much like a year ago, Cincinnati Bearcats football can kickstart their season with a convincing victory over an opponent they should beat. Last year, Coach Scott Satterfield’s first UC team began by thumping Eastern Kentucky 66-13 then had follow-up games with Pitt and Miami University.
This year insert the Towson Tigers into the opening slot, a Division I FCS school that went 5-6 last season. They traveled in-state to Maryland for last year’s opening payday, this year it’s the Big 12 Bearcats.
The game has been declared a “White Out” if you need to plan your wardrobe.

3 keys to Cincinnati Bearcats victory
Hit the accelerator and go – This is a buy game that should be like last year’s EKU tune-up. Depending on your favorite oddsmakers, the Bearcats are favored by 30 or more. Satterfield would like to play all three quarterbacks. The most efficient and safest thing is to pounce early and get a comfortable lead (42-7 last year) at half. The win is important, but not as important as getting out injury-free. Even if nose tackle Dontay Corleone is cleared to play, it might be wise to sit him for another week.
