Bearcats making bowl game statement

All of a sudden Cincinnati is talking about a bowl.
Given the improvements the Bearcats have made, a postseason bid is hardly out of the question.
Cincinnati, picked to finish seventh in the eight-team Big East, posted a huge 23-6 victory Sunday night against South Florida. The victory moved the Bearcats to 4-4 overall and 1-2 in the Big East with four games to play.
Let the bowl talk flow, coach Mark Dantonio said.
"We talk about championships here," Dantonio said. "You have to set your sights on goals. We reevaluate our goals every single week. If we get knocked out of reaching one goal, we reevaluate. All I can tell you is we've evened it up at 4-4. That's a positive thing. Now we need to take the next step."

The Bearcats will have to do that on the backs of the defense, the unit that has kept them competitive all year. Cincinnati held high-powered South Florida to season lows of 92 rushing yards and 219 total yards. That against a South Florida team that had scored at least 35 points in three of its five victories.
Thanks to a 39-yard fumble return for a touchdown by senior linebacker Kevin McCullough, the league's defensive player of the week, the Cincinnati defense outscored South Florida by itself.
For Dantonio, one of the many coaches who is a slave to defense, the play of his defense is nearly what he had hoped when he arrived at Cincinnati.
"We're getting closer," Dantonio said. "We've played well in almost every football game. We're getting closer and closer."
The Bearcats led after three quarters at Virginia Tech, hung with Ohio State until the fourth quarter and held Louisville to just 23 points. The defense has been doing its job, and now the young offense is starting to come together.
After failing to score more than 15 points against its first three BCS conference foes, Cincinnati has scored 17 and 23 points, respectively, in its last two games. At the start of the season, some opponents may have chalked up Cincinnati as a sure victory.
That would be a mistake now.
Showdown looms: Nov. 2 was the date circled by followers of the Big East. That's the Thursday night on which No. 4 West Virginia plays at No. 6 Louisville. The teams are a combined 14-0 and have a bye date this week to get ready for the league's marquee game.
