Top 10 Team Visits Nippert

Lets talk...tonight's game:

Let me just start by saying tonight's game is HUGE for the Bearcats. #6 Houston will be coming into Nippert Stadium at 2-0 after knocking off highly touted Oklahoma in week one. Not only is it monumental because I will be in attendance, but this is the first top 10 team to play at Nippert since #5 West Virginia all the way back in 2007! Houston has had some serious hype coming into this season. They shocked the college football world last year, and Tom Herman and crew are looking to do it again. Not if we can help it!

Houston's QB Greg Ward Jr. was out last week due to injury, but he is projected to play in tonight's game. This kid is explosive. He can throw the ball, but he can also beat you on his feet so the Bearcats' D will need to be on top of their game. On the bright side, UC's defense is coming off one heck of a game last week on the road against Purdue. They intercepted a whopping five passes, three of them coming from senior linebacker/safety, Mike Tyson.

Lets talk...the Nippert Advantage:

We are lucky enough to get Houston this year at home. In Thursday night games, the Bearcats tend to fair quite well at home having won nine out of the last ten games they've played at Nippert on Friday eve. This will also be my first time in the new Nippert stadium and I am PUMPED. If the Cats could find a way to pull off a win, not only would it have huge national implications, but it would also
mark a W in the conference win column. Who's ready to get blacked out before the black out?!?! Meet me at Mac's Pizza and join in when I start screaming: Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhh UC!!!!
