UAB

We are favored by 8.5. They lost their QB during the Vols game.

Essentially, Hop losing to a UAB team minus their QB coming off a bye week would officially classify as a TTT moment in The anals if USM history.....

Re: UAB

As I recall from the first half UAB was getting to Tenn's QB pretty regularly.

Re: UAB

If you don’t feel confident at this point to “know” you can handle a “rebuilding” UAB program that lost 22 seniors from last years team and lost a starting QB last week to injury then it’s really less about “them” and all about who we are.

Re: UAB

Couple of things to look at for Saturday.......

The three highest ranked defenses we have faced this season so far.....

Alabama #16    We scored 7
MS St     #60    We scored 15
Rice        #62    We scored 20

Where does UAB rank in total defense in the nation currently?

giphy.gif

Rushing defense......UAB is top 10 in the country. How is our rushing offense doing so far this year? We are tied with New Mexico St for #115.....

So all this means is that we are going to have to pass the ball more, right? UAB currently ranks #6 in the country allowing 163 yards per game. Well, we are ranked #12 in the country in passing offense averaging around 315 ypg......but....that average over the past two games has gone down to around 260 against two defenses ranked above 60 nationally. Not to mention our boy has 5 INT's over the last two games against those 60+ ranked defenses......

The line has gone down to 4.5....which is essentially because we are the home team. Almost 80% of the cash is on the Blazers.

Re: UAB

With their QB out and all our guys healthy, my resident statistician says we have a 47.3% chance of winning...and Jack better wear his dancing shoes.

Re: UAB

Love the fact that the UAB Coach honestly said that the Tennessee game was essentially a throwaway game and that his focus was on us and other CUSA teams during their bye week recently.....

“We've known this game was coming. They were open last week, so I'm sure they got to spend a lot of time on us. On our open date, we didn't work on Tennessee. We worked on ourselves and our other opponents coming up. Obviously, this is a big one."
