Utah 11/1 10:15 PM ESPN

Defense will lose this game for UC.

[Bearcat Chris]

Pathetic performance in every aspect of the game tonight. Would not be surprised if we finish with four straight losses and 7-5.

Ah, Cincinnati. You can watch a junk defense on Saturday, and the worst defense in the NFL (maybe the worst ever) on Sunday.

Sorsby has been awful. Receivers cannot separate. Defense is as awful as it can be - have I mentioned how I hate the 3-3-5. The one thing UC can do is run the ball. On the TD drive, UC ran the ball down Utah’s throat. Where has that gone?

[longtimefan]

If you’re trying to contain a running QB with a three man line, at least put a spy on him.

[London 'Cat]

Outplayed in all aspects. Special teams has been especially awful. Satterfield and staff have been completely outclassed as well. Embarrassing.

[longtimefan]

Can we just buyout Satterfield, and tell him to take his defensive coaches with him.

Of course we haven’t schemed Royer open all season. Did we look over the middle at all tonight?

[Bearcat93]

Probably what many of us were wondering - is the weak schedule and the injured #14 ISU roster making us look better than we actually are? Yep. Satterfield called a terrible game, Sorsby isn’t really that good and the defense looks as bad as the Bungles defense. It was kind of fun dreaming here recently but UC isn’t back and won’t be under Satterfield

arm tackling - I have nothing else

Disappointing to bomb on a nationally televised game. Equally bad on both sides of the ball. We ran into a buzzsaw that the coaching staff had no answer for. From the first two batted down passes, I feared we were in trouble. Missed field goal and fumble only reinforced that feeling. Agree on the bad tackling and bad play calling but in other games, we seemed to rise above that. We'll see if we can overcome and win at least two more games.

[Bearcat Chris]

CSS = C Dave Curry...... nice guys who can't coach and don't connect with the city and its wealth of high school players. Cut him loose. We were blessed w/ an easy schedule for the first half of the season. We "bombed" BIGTIME on national TV. Sad.

[JohnFrancis]

I fully understand any team can have a real "stinker" of a game during a season, especially a road game...but I did notice a couple of things that stood out:

1. Players taking really bad angles to try to tackle the ball carrier

2. If Utah's 'short' QB can get his passes thrown without getting blocked why is our 'taller' QB getting his passes swatted? Are our DLs taught that if you can't get to the QB then at least get a hand up...conversely our OL has to provide throwing lanes for Sorsby.

Just my thoughts.

[Lobot]

Off the ledge people. This was a road game in the Big XII. You don’t win too many of those.

Also, we can still get to the Championship as it’s our first in conference loss

It’s not the loss that bothers me. It is how bad the team looked and how completely outplayed and out coached they were. This was a significant step back and the remaining three opponents now have a road map to beat UC. I don’t think UC will lose all three but I won’t be surprised if they do.
