Last season, #8 Cincinnati took control of Indiana football in the fourth quarter to claim a victory in Bloomington. This season, many of the key players for the Bearcats are gone. Who are the new faces that the Hoosiers need to look out for to have a chance to compete in this tough road matchup?
3 Key players for Cincinnati vs. Indiana football

Although Scott is not Alec Pierce, who went for 86 receiving yards on five receptions and a touchdown against the Hoosiers last season, he is absolutely a threat against an Indiana football secondary that got exposed by Daewood Davis from Western Kentucky.
