With the sudden ascension of the offense. the Cincinnati Bearcats’ defense has taken a bit of a backseat in terms of headlines. That’s not to say people have forgotten how good the Bearcats are at defending entirely, but when the offense is firing on all cylinders as it has the last few weeks, there can be a dip in defensive appreciation.
In week six, the still undefeated Bearcats vanquished the Tulane Green Wave. Yes, the offense made a huge difference in the game, scoring 37 points, but the defense was able to handle a fairly unique offense and ensure the red and black were in a position to win when the clock hit triple zeroes.
