Alabama Football vs. Cincinnati Bold Prediction No. 4
The Cincinnati defense is too small, in too many spots, to handle the Crimson Tide. That is especially true in defending the Tide’s run game. The Bearcats will be vulnerable to a heavier dose of running the football than what is typically used by the Tide. One result will be Brian Robinson Jr. will rush for over 100 yards.
Bold Prediction No. 5
With John Metchie out, one. or more, less experienced Crimson Tide receivers must step up. The possible candidates are JoJo Earle, Ja’Corey Brooks, Traeshon Holden, Javon Baker and Agiye Hall. Which one or two is not being predicted, but a pair of those receivers will make an impact on the game with a combined number of 10 receptions.
Bold Prediction No. 6
The biggest weakness for the Bearcats is field-goal kicking, Their record for the season, using three placekickers is 7-for-17. They will not attempt a field goal of 40 or more yards against the Crimson Tide.
Bold Prediction No. 7
On some plays, blocking tight end, Kendall Randolph is lined up on the perimeter. He then goes in motion and moves back into a normal blocking area for his position. Just to give Michigan or Georgia something to prepare for, Randolph will run some downfield passing routes against Cincinnati.
