College Football 2019: 3 Group of Five teams on upset alert in Week 6
UCF comes into the game with a ton on the line. Going 4-1 in their first five games and being the second highest-rated Group of five team in the country. They go into Cincinnati as four-point favorites but have a lot of people wondering if they will be able to survive a road game on a Friday night where things just don’t feel right.
The last road game that UCF had was against Pitt where they were taken down 35-34 in the very last minute of the game. They could have the same jitters as they had in Pittsburgh if they aren’t careful.
Cincinnati should be fired up for this game, this is a chance for Cincinnati to get a one-up on UCF in the conference and break into the top 25 as well, even with a loss to Ohio State on the road.
Cincinnati has held opponents to just 20 points a game and has been able to stop the pass at a high rate which could be trouble for Dillon Gabriel at quarterback for the Knights. Watch for the Bearcats to bring pressure all night and force some bad throws from the freshman quarterback.
They will need to do a better job in their passing attack to make this a true game, but the Cincy faithful should be rocking in primetime on ESPN.
