In the second half.....Cincinnati will have to continue to play with their DB's deep to match up with Alabama's outstanding receivers and Heisman Candidate. Creates the opportunity for Alabama's OL to control the line of scrimmage.
Wait until the second half.....Alabama's massive, athletic 5-star O-Line (much like USC's in our "Heisman" years) will be running downhill on the tiring, smaller D-Line. You can't win a Natty without a blue chip OLine.
Once Alabama has a 3 score lead.....Alabama's defense, will pass rush every play with their 5-star D-line against Cincinnati's smaller OLine....as Cincinnati will have to play catch up. Occasional LBer/DB blitz.
The Cotton Bowl is over. Simple physics......"FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION".

Predictable O and so-so D. This will not be a close game.
And, worst field goal kicking game in the game.
Cincy looks totally unprepared.
Cincy just looks outmatched. That was expected. But it's only been 1 quarter, so we'll see.
