5.5% chance of winning for UAB. Look at that joke SEC bias. TAMU projected to go 7-5 overall and that'll put them at the #19 team...sure. Would love for UAB to take advantage of Jimbo in his first season, but he was able to get off to a pretty quick start at FSU. Picking TAMU but close
TAMU 35 UAB 31
MVP - TAMU's QB
Attendance 95,000

This will put us at three losses by MY count. Catching TAMU at a good time. While we are better than the team that was stomped by Florida, we are Not there yet where we can line up and beat good P5 teams. Would love to pick the upset here and it's possible if we can get them to turn the ball over.
UAB = 17
TAMU = 30
MVP = Lisa
Att:99,999 1/2

UAB 21
Jizz-Jar Carriers 10
Attendance: hordes
And oh yeah, the "realistic" prediction:
It's not "realistic" that UAB should be playing at all, so "realistically" I guess I'll be grilling some sort of "realistic" meat and having sex before and after the grilling that afternoon instead of watching football, and maybe take the children to fly their realistic helicopter drone, since no football team I give a damn about still exists. Realistically.

I just hope we make it out of this game unscathed. I’m not a fan of playing a strong opponent when we could be in the middle of a conference title race. I assume the goal is to win the west this year, and losing a player or two could really be a big deal.

This is the first year UAB's new facilities should prepare the players for games such as this one. I will be disappointed if our physical preparation is not greatly improved from previous seasons. Im not talking about the ACL and other season ending type injuries, but the lesser ones that cause a player to play a step or two slower or fewer minutes than their best. In games like this one where the opponent may have some ESPN Top 300 recruits, a step or two slower can make a big game difference in resulting scores.
Look for Texas A&M to make this game their Homecoming game.

With Clark an upset is always possible...but realistically I just hope we don't have any injuries. Get the $$$ and go beat MTSU the next week to wrap up the west division. Go Blazers!

Honestly don't think we win this one, will have a shot but depth round this game will be key. I'm still a little worried about the defense from the start of the season.

UAB throws long and finishes with 275 yds passing with 4 TD of 22,41,59 and 90 yds.
aTm holds us to 101 yds rushing but we grind out 2 first downs to run out the clock and win 34-33.
