Dan Hoard, radio voice of the Cincinnati Bengals and the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, joins The Matt Thomas Show to preview the Bearcats against the Houston Cougars and the Bengals against the Houston Texans. Hoard shares his excitement for the Bearcats as they "finally have a seat at the table" as a Power Five team. "I'm confident that in time, Cincinnati will be a Big 12 contender," Hoard said. Hoard also touches on the Bengals week 10 game, saying that wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be the main target if Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase are out. If Burrow continues to stay healthy, Hoard expects a good performance as the defense has been "really good at taking the ball away" and forcing turnovers.
