It’s easy to go head hunting after a difficult loss. Bench Gunner Kiel after he threw four interceptions, fire Ty Linder after the Jahad Thomas kickoff return for a touchdown, “forcibly retire” Tommy Tuberville, even. Those are just a few of the gut reactions to Cincinnati’s 34-26 loss to Temple last night should you have the stomach to peruse the many Bearcats message boards today.
But before this season even began, we thought this team might not go undefeated, losing perhaps one or two games. I had just pegged the loss in the AAC to Memphis, not Temple.
