1. Win the turnover battle

Another area where Cincinnati lacks is the turnover battle. Through four games, they rank no. 84 in the country in turnover margin with minus one, and have six turnovers on the season.

The Knights are very strong at generating turnovers, creating seven turnovers through four games this season, and they’ll look to capitalize on a team that struggles to take care of the ball.

Keep an eye on Richie Grant and Neville Clarke in this one. They’re two dynamic players in the secondary and will look to force Desmond Ridder into a lot of mistakes.

Next. Ranking college football's top 50 fanbases. dark

UCF has the clear talent advantage, and although Cincinnati is no slouch, I think they’re undisciplined play in the penalty and turnover department will lead to their demise. UCF will take advantage.
