Only real thriller of the year and man...that was tough.

The D didn’t start playing until the second half, which was better than the O that waited until the 4th qtr

This O line is going to needs some work. They were missing blocks and looked confused. On the play where Zeus came up short, I swear McLendon pulled and ran away from the play by himself off to the flat.

JT still seems to underthrow the long ball ...and needs to be reminded sometimes a 1st down is good enough.

What was up with the clock still running during Cins last possession? Both runners ran out of bounds.

Who else was waiting for a pooch kick at the end ala CMR v Tech? Thank Pod we boomed it down to the goal line.

They were holding our D line every play in the first half..glad they finally called it.

Defense dominated once they woke up and kept us in the game.

Cincy’s clock management sucked...thank Pod.

In Pod We Trust. Helluva kick.

What a gutsy win by a team that obviously started slow and was missing a lot of starters. Hopefully our boys have a lot to work on and will be ready on 2021. I was sick like a lot of you because we’d all been here before....nice to have one to our way for a change.

Go Dawgs!!

Edit: and I wish we’d have gotten at least one shot on that shithead punter.

Hot take. I would be fine if Zamir left. Like mcIntosh and Milton more. Though maybe another off season to fully recover would help Zamir.

Darnell will be a problem for defenses.

JT is fricking tough. Dude got pummeled today and never looked scared.

O line has me worried for next year.

WR corp will be a joy to watch.

Need more outside runs in our game plan.

Impressed by Brini today.

Hope Jordan Davis comes back.. though Jalen Carter is getting there.

Always feels good to win. Proud of the boys for fighting and not giving up. Props to Azeez for playing today. Obviously he made a difference.

The main thing I noticed and I’ve already mentioned in the game thread is this: The o line did great against an undermanned Mizzou. The only difference in this game was Cleveland’s opt out because Hill was out against Mizzou already. So why did we re shuffle the whole o line instead of just finding a decent guard? Salyer looks physically like a pro bowl guard but he’s better at tackle and has started at LT all season. But we started the large but inexperienced Truss instead and bumped Salyer to LG to bump Schafer to RG? It seems like Luke or whoever made that decision overthought the hell out of it.

Considering we had only 3 or 4 practices to work on this offensive line I thought they finally began working well together in the 4th quarter, but still couldn't block well on run plays. I agree that JT should have looked more for simpler 1st down throws and just moved methodically down the field.
Defense looked good all game and came together in the 2nd half to shut Cincy down except for that excellent TD run.
Overall I'm satisfied with a win today, just not happy with the overall performance of the offense.

My take:

Kirby's decision to punt at the end with 4 & three almost cost us the game.

If you go for it there and don't get it, so what, Cincy comes away with a FG and it's a 5 pt. game and we could get the ball back and score. But I'll take what happened, it made for a better finish.

1. Our offense has the potential to be very good next season...if we get enough reps in and everyone stays healthy.

2. I saw a couple people say they were concerned by the o-line but I think I'm more worried about our secondary being consistent.

3. It's frustrating seeing year after year when we play down to our opponents.

4. A win is a win...let's beat the crap out of clemson in the first game next season!

Ojulari is a DGD
WR Core will be up there when Blaylock returns
Darnell is a beast

You've got to tip your cap to that Cincinnati defense. I thought we'd be able to do anything we wanted to to them. Instead, they completely shut down our run game and their secondary, though handsy, was fast and offered pretty strong coverage. Their coaches weren't shy about bringing pressure...they were good at it and it seemed we were not ready for that many blitzes. All this caused this to be a pretty lucky win, really. Thank God our D showed up.

I think they would've been a much better matchup against Bama in the CFP than fricking ND's sorry arse.

The clock runs in college and the NFL on out of bounds plays like that until the last 2 minutes of each half.

Was painful to watch. Being closer to Cincinnati than being to Alabama and Florida is humbling. It was a gutsy win but shouldn't have come to that.

And another thing....how the hell do you fumble a ball out of bounds 15 yds in the air?

Incomplete pass.

I've said before that we should rush two guys on those Australian punters kicking leg side. Prevent him from taking those extra steps before kicking.
