Three keys, prediction: Cincinnati Bearcats to host Kennesaw State Owls in home-opener

The first game is usually the toughest. Gino Guidugli knows that firsthand.

The University of Cincinnati Hall of Fame quarterback (inducted in 2013) called his first game last week as the Bearcats' offensive coordinator. Guidugli, the program's all-time leader in passing yards, attempts and completions, said it felt "great" calling the offensive shots for his alma mater. But Guidugli admitted a win would've made it feel even better. Cincinnati lost 31-24 at Arkansas.

"I felt we, us, the guys in the locker room, the coaching staff, we all felt like we left a lot of meat on the bone out there Saturday," Guidugli told The Enquirer.
