UAB Blazers
Cyrus Smith: Buy. New facilities on the way? Check. Bill Clark still the head coach? Check. Does the roster have good talent? Check. Stability, fan support and lack of a presence on the recruiting trail have historically went against UAB but the program is now in good shape at all three levels. The future looks great not only in the short term, but in the long term as well.

Tanner Spearman: Buy. UAB’s rise from the ashes has been quick, and there’s no sign that they’ll be slowing down any time soon. As long as Bill Clark is in Birmingham, the Blazers will be contending for conference titles.

Jared Kalmus: Buy. I don’t know what the hell I could possible knock UAB on. Championship coach that’s flown under the P5 radar, a highly-promising returning sophomore quarterback, strong fan support, a new stadium on the way... If Bill Clark can just increase the Blazers’ recruiting success a bit then UAB could compete for the NYE bowl in the future.

Adam Woodyard: Push. Not trying to be contrarian, it’s just that the article is “are they on the rise,” and I don’t see UAB winning more games next year than they did this year. Clark has done something historic, and there were enough close games in 2017 that we should’ve seen 2018 coming. Another conference title is absolutely on the table, and if the Blazers run the table, with or without a victory over Tennessee, I will happily eat my words.
