Three keys, prediction: No. 8 Cincinnati Bearcats hit the road to face Indiana

The University of Cincinnati football team outscored its first two opponents by a combined margin of 91-21. But despite the two convincing victories, the No. 8-ranked (Associated Press/Coaches) Bearcats have yet to put together a complete game.

Cincinnati started strong against the rival Miami RedHawks in the season-opener, only to surrender two late scores and lose the shutout.

The Bearcats dominated FCS opponent Murray State in the second half last week, but sputtered to a 7-7 tie against the Racers at halftime.

Cincinnati senior quarterback Desmond Ridder knows if they're going to defeat Indiana (1-1, 0-1 Big Ten) on Saturday and improve to 3-0, the Bearcats are going to have to start fast and finish strong.
