Cincinnati Football: Bearcats open as slight favorites over Big 12 opponent Baylor
During a weekly press conference, Satterfield broke down the Bearcats state of mind and discussed the game plan against Baylor via Cincinnati Athletics.
Following an impressive start to the regular season, the Bearcats are still searching for the first Big 12 win after suffering a fourth straight loss last week.
"“It’s about executing at a high level. That’s the biggest thing that we have to do. There’s great football being played in the Big 12 and teams must execute at a high level. We’re putting our defense in a bad spot with the interception and kick returns that Iowa State almost took all the way back. We can’t keep putting our defense in those positions. Offensively we haven’t started a drive in the plus territory in over two games. We’re having to drive the length of the field and it’s difficult to score in those situations.”"
