Bearcats Defense
Ivan Pace, Jr., linebacker
How could you not circle Ivan Pace, Jr. before this one? A homecoming game for the linebacker as he gets to go up against his old squad where he spent the last couple of years with. Pace will be a guy who can make a difference for the Bearcats. Pace, Jr. is the Bearcats leading tackler this year and can provide the spark any defense needs in any scenario.
Arquon Bush, cornerback
Bush will have a tough matchup this week as he will go against Mac Hippenhammer who is very physical and is arguably Miami (OH) most explosive playmaker on their offense. If Bush can lock him down the Miami offense is going to have a load of problems against the tough Bearcats secondary.
The Bearcats and RedHawks will kick off at 12 o’clock from Paycor Stadium as one of the two teams will take the lead in the all-time series for the Victory Bell on Saturday. This should be a good game with a ton of fans there to watch the teams under the big lights in an NFL stadium.
