UC would not be UC without a suspect pass defense. The key to UC victory will be the offense. If the UC offense puts the ball on the ground 4 times, regardless of who recovers the ball, and commits 75 yards of penalties, it will be a long night. Remember also that UC was down 14-0 in the first matchup. Something changed on the team after that and we scored 21 unanswered points. That something is much better now than then.
