Short version: Most of the people that couldn't play Saturday are unlikely to be able to play this Saturday. We need another big crowd to make the drive up again for the game.

AJ needs surgery and is just toughing it out and trying to play through it. How effective will the players that do return to action be with one weeks recovery?

Marino, the obvious one I paid attention to after kickoff. Had trouble just running on to the field. Should still be in a boot.

I would rather pull out all the stops for the C-USA championship game. I feel that winning that is far more important than a random bowl game in Shreveport or Boca Raton. I would have been okay with resting people for last weekend in preparation for this week.
I feel like recruits are much more interested in joining the C-USA Champion UAB Blazers than the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Bowl Champion UAB Blazers
