The Bearcats went into their game against the Miami Redhawks last week with fighting spirit, ruling over the first quarter of the match, before taking a slight dip. When it came to the final quarter of the game, backup quarterback, Hayden Moore almost sent Cincinnati home with a check in the loss column, losing two fumbles and throwing two interceptions, giving Miami a strong opportunity to claim victory. However, the moment wasn’t seized and eventually, Moore led the Bearcats to a 37-33 victory.
According to official 2015 NCAAF data, the Cincinnati Bearcats have completed 78 of their total 130 attempted passes, with Gunner Kiel claiming 63 of those. The team have gathered together 708 yards on a total of 136 carries, most of which have been completed by Tion Green and Hosey Williams, with Green also completing three touchdowns in the process. Defensively, Shaq Washington has played a good season so far, receiving 17 passes for 166 yards, while Johnny Holton has taken 167 yards in eight receptions.
The Tigers are currently 3-0 in the 2015 Season, and this next game is in their hometown. Last week saw Memphis take on the Bowling Green Falcons, and they fought tooth and nail to come out with the 44-41 victory. Many thanks have to be directed towards number 12 quarterback Paxton Lynch, who threw two long touchdown passes in the second half, while kicker Jake Elliot claimed a 29-yard field goal with 7:35 left on the clock.
Memphis have played a stellar season overall so far, as is evident by their three victories claimed in the first three weeks. Paxton Lynch has been an overall great player for the Tigers, completing 59 of his 77 attempted passes so far, strongly contributing to the 69 completed overall. Rushing statistics for this season show that Memphis have carried 162 for 753 yards, while a total of 958 yards have been claimed on the receiving end of things. The aforementioned Elliot has made 21 extra points this season so far for the Tigers.

The possible loss of starting QB Gunner Kiel to a head injury for this game doesn’t worry us. That has already been built into the line. We get an inexperienced QB behind center in Hayden Moore, but his coach is really high on him. He did toss two INTs in relief last week, but a full week of practice with the first team unit should clear that up. The defense on either team has a lot to prove and getting over 10 points makes this an easy call for us.
