Fenway Bowl - UC vs. Louisville

Donley has been a bright spot

It won’t matter because the game is being dominated at the line of scrimmage. You could play Mahomes at QB and it would not make a difference.

DL dominated too. All year long we’ve seen teams with good running games exploit that 3-3-5. UCF, Arkansas, Tulane all killed us on the ground.

Coombs just trying to see what they have there. Perhaps Satterfield instructed Coombs to do this?

Edit, now Prater back in.

Lichtenberg in and promptly fumbles.

Hard to place blame on Prater. No first string receivers. Offensive line can’t protect him. I also hate the 3-3-5. This will be a loss because there are so many key components missing.

Random thoughts so far.

Serious lack of effort, it appears they don’t really care.
Prater looks like he just has no idea.
Maybe next year we finally get rid of that 3-3-5.
We’ll also need to find a QB, at least somebody to compete for the job.
Hopefully they put better effort into the second half.

What a farce. The defense is trying to arm tackle and we see the result. Hopefully Coach Satt will get their heads (and bodies) into the game next year.

[Gmann]

Hopefully one of the first things Satterfield addresses next year is all the stupid unsportsmanlike penalties. That is one of the few criticisms I had of Fickel. He tolerated way too much of that crap.

The o-line is off to a rough start.

Via Pete Thamel:

Very cool to hear the UL/Cincy players fired up to play in @FenwayBowl. It's a good reminder -- players like bowls. "Being down there on the field and seeing that Green Monster, it’s something special," UC's Will Huber said. "It looks a lot bigger on person that it does on TV."

It would seem like he'd have a real chance... I'm still trying to figure out what happened here. He was something like the #39 recruit nationally in the 2018 class (Rivals.com) and he has 5 career catches. What is the issue?

Blue had been injured for a good portion of his time here. He just had trouble staying healthy. Then, a strong group of receivers arrived, and he was behind.

What an awesome guy and a real credit to Cincinnati! Thanks KC for all you do and for sticking with these kids when others thought more about themselves.
