#USF's loss to #FSU was painful, but not nearly as important as these conference games. Gotta start strong today vs. #Cincy.

Said before the game it didn't feel like UC is 3-1. And by the looks of this crowd, I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Hey @espn, we played N. Illinois, not S. Illinois. #USFvsCIN

This #usf defense doesn't touch anyone until they're 6 yards past the LOS

PAT no good, so Cincy has 6-3 lead after that familiar-looking drive. (Familiar in the sense #USF missed a lot of tackles).
— Joey Knight (@TBTimes_Bulls) October 1, 2016
Put me on scholarship, Cincinnati, and I'll kick extra points like that for you all day long.
— Jeff Odom (@jeffodom) October 1, 2016
I see USF still hasn't learned how to tackle....
— Mitchell Reed (@RamsReed) October 1, 2016
D'Ernest Johnson punches it in to answer for #USF, like a knife through butter. 7th TD of the year for Deuce.
— Running the Bulls (@USFBulls_Rivals) October 1, 2016
I can't put this #USFvsCIN game down. Every time I look, someone is literally flying across the field, or holding the ball carrier
— Chanel (@4chanene) October 1, 2016
Great play-calling by Cincy. Eveyone expects 230-lb Tion Green to punch it in the red zone vs #USF, but Ross trail keeps the option.
— Chris Lemus (@ChrisJLemus) October 1, 2016
Why does the #Cincinnati QB have a spray on tan haha #usfvscin
— Daniel McCormick (@dgmac10) October 1, 2016
Everyone saw Antonio Kinard taunting before the play where Quinton Flowers rushed right past him into the end zone right? Just saying. #USF

#USF Billy Atterbury getting carted away and it looks like a lower leg injury. Marcus Norman checks in at RT.

#USF offense really good. Defense not so much. Also, grass is green and the sky is blue...

Don't think I've ever been this furious at leading by four points on the road before.

Mack with 48 yards at halftime. Needs 47 in the second half to break Andre Hall's career mark. #USF

Shaun King was in Flowers’ ear the minute he got to the sideline. First truly bad throw of the night.
— The Daily Stampede (@StampedeSBN) October 2, 2016
Trail with a terrible underthrow, Hoggins jumps the route and picks it off, nearly pick six for #USF

31-20 USF.
How can you not like Quinton Flowers? #USF #GoBulls #TD

Hey, remember when a bunch of people thought Q should be benched last week? That was a dumb thought and you should feel bad.

OH LOOK I NO LONGER HAVE PANTS #USF

Huge recovery play by Jaymon Thomas to knock the ball out after missing a tackle. Nigel Harris recovers at the Cincinnati 43.
— The Daily Stampede (@StampedeSBN) October 2, 2016
I enjoy the "miss the tackle and then make a great play" defense personally.

Turnovers aside, the USF defense is playing much, much better in the second half. Very relieving.

Have to hand it to Cincinnati. Giving 54-year-old Gunner Kiel a chance to get in this game is a classy move.
