What We Learned From Cincinnati’s Loss to East Carolina

When the Cincinnati Bearcats allowed 622 total yards against the Navy Midshipmen earlier this season, that appeared to be rock bottom.

Oh how wrong that notion was.

No. Rock bottom came in Greenville, North Carolina on Saturday when the Bearcats were beaten so badly by East Carolina, it was almost as if the Pirates were not a team with eight losses. But they were and still are since UC couldn’t pull out a victory. Obviously we know that. What else do we know?

Cincinnati is not good at defending against the pass

Despite technically ranking second in the American Athletic Conference in passing yards allowed prior to this game (now ranked fifth), UC is a really bad team against the pass.
