Defensively, the Bulls fell asleep for the first 30 minutes of the game, allowing Tulsa to gain most of their 488 yards.
Cincinnati
The Bearcats (3-3) pulled to an even .500 on the season with a lopsided 41-3 rout at Southern Methodist on Saturday.
Four different players led a dominating rushing attack that combined for 222 yards of the team’s 508 total yards.
Quarterback Gunner Kiel added another 241 passing yards with a 23-yard touchdown to receiver Johnny Holton.
Defensively, the Bearcats have struggled, but that wasn’t the case against SMU, as it was held to only 271 yards.
The Bearcats split evenly between the run and pass while SMU struggled to move the chains with to lean on.

Week 9 NCAA Football Spread Prediction
South Florida looked good against Tulsa, but it was still a little shaky.
The Bearcats meanwhile, who have been known for their offense all season long, added a much-improved defense into the mix against the Mustangs last week.
Head to head South Florida is 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings with Cincinnati.
4* FREE NCAAF Score Prediction: Cincinnati 35, South Florida 23
With that, if Cincy can duplicate its defensive efforts from its previous contest, I think they walk away with a close win, and keep their postseason hopes alive.
