AAC Championship 12/19

[Lobot]

The AAC title game will be played on the 19th between UC and Tulsa. Very high chance it will be at Nippert but technically we have wait until tonight’s CFP rankings come out to find out for sure. Highest ranked team gets to host.

John Cunningham has requested a variance from the State of Ohio to allow fans for this game. Based on his press release, it would seem we’ve had a significant number of mostly asymptomatic Covid cases since the UCF game. Hopefully we’re able to get a handle on that so the CCG can be played as scheduled.

Awesome game & season for our Bearcats. The long layoff hurt but we found a way to win. That's what good teams do---they find a way to win. Let's beat GA & end up with a 10-0 season.

Big drop off from Doaks to Ford. Ford’s TD was nice, but generally speaking he’s a straight ahead runner that needs pretty big lanes. He’s not all that creative or able to make
something out of a little crease.

[Lobot]

Was Doaks injured? Probably one of three most glaring issues last night-lack of good run blocking/run game, discipline/penalties and play calling. Putting the awful Ford direct snap call aside, there were just so many repetitive and obvious formations and play calls. Glad to get the win and what a fun season! It was so 2020 to have the concessions close at halftime-probably could have asked for a variance on that as carry out is allowed after 10:00pm everywhere.

Yep Doaks was hurt early in the game. Not entirely sure what happened to him. He got in 7 carries before Ford took over

Did you see Tulsa had 1 penalty called on them but they were barking out our cadence and trying to imitate Dez to draw us offsides. I think they called it delay of game. Not sure I have ever seen it called before.

I've seen "Disconcerting Signals" called a few times but I've never heard an opposing team be so obvious about it. Tulsa should have been flagged about 3 or 4 other times during the game.

Me neither but the announcer said it happens all the time now and when he played. It is more obvious this year since there are no fans and the ref can hear it now.

Congrats to the team on a great season. The false starts were a big problem for us against Tulsa - must be related to the long layoff, because we've been strong this season in avoiding penalties. One good thing about playing a game so late in December is that we won't have a long layoff waiting for the bowl game, so hopefully we're sharper in the bowl game.

Congratulations to the Bearcats on a very tough win.

Tulsa is legit, lots of quality athletes. It was a tough game in brutal conditions. Without the silly mistakes we win by at least two touchdowns, but we saw what happens with a sloppy game. Whatever causes the false starts and problems getting the ball snapped must be fixed before the bowl game.

Absolutely agree. They were much tougher on the run than i thought. Ridder was pretty much stopped at the edge on a number of plays. Agree on cleaning up penalties. I thought we had already taken care of that. We also had some issues stopping their run game. Gaping holes for their backs. But my congratulations also to the Bearcats on their AAC Championship!!!

secured my 4 tickets, woohoo. Nicely surprised they didn't jack the prices up higher

I have two seats close to my regular ones at midfield in the pavilion and they're actually less expensive than normal.

[Rufus]

My guess is because they figure anybody that goes to their games is already sick.

Thats funny right there I dont care who you. I was going to say something similar like thr bungals would have to pay to get that many in to watch that mess and we all how they dont let go of money. But yours was much better.

Kelly Hines , the Tulsa beat writer, reported Montgomery says all systems go for Tulsa’s side

[Gilenerm]

Got my tix. Glad to be able to go to the game. Going to have to make some extra noise for all those that can't be there. Beat Tulsa!
