I feel like tonight's game was a talent disparity pure and simple. We had no one who could cover their big receiver and their D line kicked the **** out of our O line. That pretty much sums up the game. They stuffed our running game and had Childers running for his life back there. It didn't have a lot to do with game prep. We literally didn't have the personnel to stand up to UAB. I should point out that injuries at cornerback left us with Tifonte Hunt playing hurt and a bunch of freshmen but kudos to their receiver for getting open and to their QB for hitting him.

The talent disparity is Carey's fault due to poor recruiting early in his tenure. I believe, or want to believe anyway, that the team is on the upswing talent wise with good recruiting classes in 2017, 2018 and hopefully tomorrow. It was probably a miracle for this team to win conference but I'll take it. They definitely need to upgrade talent on offense and hopefully we'll see improvement there next year.
