PFF Notes Cincinnati Bearcats Football's Biggest Weakness Entering 2024 Season
PFF released its Cincinnati Bearcats Football season preview and has run defense as the biggest projected weakness for UC. It was a major issue last season .
"The Bearcats earned the sixth-worst run-defense grade in the Power Five last season and play in a conference where almost every offense has a dominant ground game," All of this amidst a fall camp where Cincinnati lost two starting pieces along the defensive line for the season and hasn't had a full practice from the team's best player: DT Dontay Corleone.
It's hard to see this problem improving much if he misses portions of the season due to blood clot recovery. "'The Godfather' has earned a 92.7 PFF overall grade across the past two seasons, the highest of any defensive tackle in college football,". "He’s especially dominant in the run game, whether it be by eating up double teams or making plays in the backfield. His 93.1 run-defense grade is tied for the highest in the FBS in that span, and he’s a top-10 interior defensive lineman in run-defense stops and tackles for loss or no gain .
