Cincinnati Bearcats: run the ball
This has been Cincinnati's key all season and they should not have to change, since they accumulate 176.8 yards per game through this route and that has allowed a good development of the air attack to cause pain in the rival defenses.
Houston Cougars: make no mistakes
The point to follow for Houston will be not to make mistakes throughout the game against a defense that usually pressures and causes losses; throughout the season their offense has been very balanced between passing and carries.
The search for the champion
These two teams are ranked among the top 25 in the nation and will define the champion of the American Athletic Conference Championship Game; however, the Cincinnati Bearcats are the overwhelming favorites to win against the Houston Cougars.
