The Bearcats will be looking to lay a pounding on lowly Syracuse this weekend after they were knocked off 28-23 by West Virginia last time out. That defeat ruined Cincinnati's chances of winning the Big East this season, and they're now 8-3 straight-up and 7-3 against-the-spread in 2007.
Ben Mauk went 19-of-34 for 323 yards passing against West Virginia, with two touchdown strikes and no interceptions. Marcus Barnett had both TD grabs on the day. Syracuse is coming off a loss as well – but that's not a big surprise for a team that is just 2-9 straight-up and 3-8 against-the-spread this season. The Big East cellar-dwellers were trounced 30-7 by Connecticut last time out, with quarterback Cameron Dantley going 7-of-17 for 61 yards with a TD and an INT to close out the contest.
Mike Williams had a TD catch for Syracuse in the loss, and that play put an end to the Huskies' shutout bid. The Bearcats are listed as big 20.5-point favorites against the Orangemen this weekend, while the OVER/UNDER for the game is at 53.5.
