UC @ Illinois (9/7) Predictions

#BearcatNation · 09-03-2013, 04:00 PM

Albeit on the road, this game shouldn't be too tough, seeing as Illinois was just 2-10 last year. I'm going with 31-14.

Anyone making the trip to Champagne? I believe the drive is a little under 4 hours, not too bad. Tickets are dirt cheap on StubHub (down to $3 a ticket, and the seats aren't even that bad). I'll be in Chicago for the Bears/Bengals game Sunday so I'm trying to squeeze the game in Saturday.

Illinois will sling the rock around the field...

Cincinnati 45
Illinois 35

38-17 UC. I expect it to be as easy a win as a road win can be.

41-13. UC Should not be a real challenge. And I hope we can see Brendan start this game.

40-25 UC. Illinois has a much better offense than Purdue, but there defense folds like a cardboard box. I think our defense will hold them to 25, and as NTS said, expect for the, to sling the ball around.

Cats take it 31-10. Illinois is too one dimensional. The Cats defense picks off a couple passes in this one.

UC - 27
Illinois - 17

I think their mobile QB could create a few problems. If Munchie gets the start again I think the offense struggles.

I thought the defense looked just fine last week and our running game will do well on the road.

Cincinnati 45
Illinois 14

35-24 cats. Do hope Kay is healthy and starts the game. Don't feel like Munchie is the guy I want starting for the Cats all season. Much to inconsistent. Love him as a back up but not as a starter. Kay is the better player especially with decision making and accuracy.

Defense will need to apply lots of pressure on Illini QB.

I totally agree with your feelings about Munchie. There is something very unsettling when watching Munchie on the field. I guess I still have last year fresh in my mind. I also was impressed with Kay during his games, I want to see more of him.
