Cincinnati at Notre Dame

The Cincinnati Bearcats are often criticized for having a soft out-of-conference schedule. This year they are answering that call with back-to-back road games vs Indiana and Notre Dame. They passed the first test, and now have perhaps the most important regular-season game in program history. Perhaps the luck of the Irish is why they are 4-0, but luck doesn't last forever. Notre Dame trailed Wisconsin last week 13-10 in the fourth quarter and got a kick-off return for a TD and a couple of long pick-6's to outscore Wisconsin 31-0 in the last 14 minutes. Wisconsin turned the ball over five times, and Notre Dame scored 41 points, despite two rushing yards on 32 attempts. The Irish have not looked the part this season and I think the fact that Cincinnati has been good for several years, the moment won't be too big for them. Make the play on Cincinnati.
