2. Take advantage of penalties

One area where Cincinnati lacks is in their undisciplined play in the season. Cincinnati ranks 130 out of 131 in penalties per game. They average almost 10 penalties per game and nearly 83 yards per game.

Unfortunately for the Knights, they struggle in this department also, ranking 113 in penalties and roughly 71 yards per game. The Knights will need to take advantage of penalties in this one, and make sure they result into points.

This is a game with two strong defenses, and the team who stays disciplined will win this one.
