Cincinnati Defense
Deshawn Pace, linebacker
Deshawn Pace last year against Indiana had a monster game. Some would even call it the game Bearcat fans found out just how good Deshawn Pace was. Pace should be back for vengeance against Indiana and looking to repeat last year’s performance. Pace will also play a huge role against Indiana’s tough run game.
Jaquan Sheppard, cornerback
Shepard has played well for the Bearcats early on and will have a tough matchup against D.J. Matthews a guy who had 150 yards against a tough Bearcats secondary last year. Indiana will surely try to take their shots with Sauce and Coby gone, it will be up to Sheppard to deny those deep shots and hopefully shut down Matthews.
This game will be a huge test for both teams to see who they really are and what the rest of the season could be like for them. Kickoff is set for 3:30 on ESPN2 and will be a game for everyone to watch.
