Episode Details

Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Luke Fickell traditionally has not used more than one quarterback in a game. But is the unique talent of Evan Prater getting wasted in certain situations?

Alex explains why Prater needs to be used in certain situations, like the fourth down play early in the second quarter at SMU. It's one thing to run the ball in that situation, which the Cincinnati Bearcats did, but Prater would allow you to have more plays at your disposal to call.

Speaking of Fickell, he is known for coaching aggressively. But is he not being aggressive enough by not using Prater? And is Gino Guidugli not creative enough as offensive coordinator.

Alex then explains the improvements he has been seeing from the cornerbacks, especially holding up against a strong SMU receiving corps and passing game.
