If I told you that the Cincinnati Bearcats were going to play an overtime game against the SMU Mustangs last week, you would think one of two things. The first is that the Bearcats overachieved on defense. The second is that they overachieved on offense. The first one isn’t exactly true, but the second portion is pretty much correct.
With 438 yards of total offense, the Bearcats came a yard shy of matching their season-high, which they pulled off against Navy. The running game led the way and even if it didn’t end up producing a win, the offense’s production was a positive sign.
