It’s not exactly Earth shattering to make the statement that the Cincinnati Bearcats struggled defensively this season. I mean, you’d only have to watch.. well.. every single one of their football games to figure that out.
In losses UC’s defense seemed to give up a boatload of yards and points. In wins UC’s defense seemed to give up a boatload of yards and points. Even on bye weeks UC’s defense seemed to still give up a boatload of yards and points.
The Bearcats were on the field for 72.6 plays per game, which is 50th in college football, and just 28:45 per game (38th).
