The Cincinnati Bearcats host USF in their annual Homecoming game tomorrow afternoon at Nippert Stadium. Alex talks about how the Cincinnati Bearcats need to avoid letting this game become a trap game with the bye week and a two-game gauntlet on the other side.In years past, the Cincinnati Bearcats would play down to their level of competition against USF. This year, though, they can't do that. This program has gotten better and better every year at avoiding the trap game. They'll need to do the same in front of a sellout crowd as they look for their 30th straight home win and give Luke Fickell a tie atop the all-time head coaching wins list at Cincinnati.Alex then gets in his keys to the game and how the Cincinnati Bearcats need to stop the run to ensure USF has no chance at keeping this game close.Find Locked On Bearcats on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bearcats-daily-podcast-on-cincinnati-bearcats/id1600132108 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/50LUo2h1xoJFIWBv6KrUJS?si=db84b6a4edc142f8 Stitcher: https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?af_dp=stitcher://show/671454&af_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/show/671454 Alex Frank uses his experiences and connections from his days as Sports Director of the University of Cincinnati's Bearcast Media into Locked On Bearcats.
