Keys to the Cincinnati game

Keys to the game

Limit turnovers

The Bearcats have a +`15turnover margin that is even better than the Huskies’ + 11. Tyler Lorenzen has only four interceptions this year while the Cincinnati team has picked off opposing quarterbacks 21 times. Lorenzen can’t force things.


Control time of possession

Keep Ben Mauck and the potent Cincinnati offense off the field by pounding the ball with Andre Dixon and Donald Brown. Best defense for a high scoring opponent is a ball control offense. Uconn hasn’t allowed more than 19 points. Something is going to give today. Hopefully, it isn’t the Uconn defense


Get an early lead

The Huskies’ success the past two weeks against Rutgers and South Florida is largely due to the fact the Huskies got up early. Uconn has shown its adept at playing with a lead and doing just enough to win.
