This looks to be a snoozer, as VT has an abysmal offense but a good defense, meaning points are likely to be few and far between. But bowl games can be surprising, and the matchup is a good one on paper, so I am tuning in, at least until the Sun Bowl starts.

UC is starting off pretty good.

Dropped passes kill the drive.

And the INT in the end zone was caused by a poor attack on the ball by the UC WR, which gave the VT defender the inside position. Right now, UC's worst enemy is themselves. VT isn't the problem.

Unlike other Bowl Games so far Great Crowd...Props to the local DC residents, Virginia Tech and Cincinnati....

Interesting Bowl Matchup!






GO AAC!

13-10 VT at the half, though Cincy looks better and will likely win.

UC has brought a good crowd but the crowd is 75% VT. There are a lot of Tech alums in the DC area.

Bearcats keep shooting themselves in the foot. Should be up by 10-14 pts right now.

Virtually...Autocorrect is a pain...Virginia Tech...

Frustrating to dominate a half and still go into halftime down points. So, so many mistakes. UC needs to respond big time on this drive or risk losing control of this game.

Unless UC figures out how to keep possession of the ball, that may be difficult, stx.

Well, that's the game...

Our 3rd stringer isn't going to get much done. We lost this game in the first half realistically.

Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game.

Agree, as I mentioned, this game was lost in the first half when we couldn't take advantage despite dominating the line of scrimmage and racking up a ton of yardage and posturing the ball.

You simply can't let that many chances pass you by because things usually don't stay that way. One play can change a game. Can't leave it up to that.

33-17 VT late. They ran all over the Cincy defense. Won the battle in the trenches.

I hope the AAC fans will end the fantasy that their league is better than the ACC.

Who was saying that? Surely not anyone but the usual homer crowd.

AAC had a terrible first year in football and it's looking the same in basketball. Not what the league needed in its first year of the regular lineup.

As for the game, UC had a good team this year, but simply didn't execute in this game. If you don't come out and execute sharply in the game, you will lose.

Mark I like you, but put a sock in your mouth. Find 1 AAC poster who has posted that.

Actually it's the Second year for AAC. But Cincinnati repped well with Fan support. Hopefully UC won't have that horrible 2 or 3 game delay to start next season.
