While the opponent (Austin Peay) has to be taken into consideration, Cincinnati was much more aggressive on the defensive side of the ball than they were in 2010. The Bearcats were able to get five turnovers, recovering three fumbles and picking off two passes in the 72-10 win.
Even with this performance it's tough to see Cincinnati as a viable fantasy defense. But if they duplicate this performance at Tennessee next week maybe that changes.
