Episode Details

The Cincinnati Bearcats 32-game winning streak at Nippert Stadium came to an end with a crushing loss to Tulane on Friday. Alex explains that the biggest reason for the loss was the defense, a unit that has been a strength for the last five years.

Alex then evaluates Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Evan Prater's performance in his first start. Is this a performance he can build on? And can he do enough to cement his status as the starter next season?

Alex then asks some important questions about the future of the Cincinnati Bearcats program. They won't be playing for an AAC Championship this season, but they will be heading to the Big 12 next year. But what needs to happen for this program to be successful at the Power Five level?
