I worked every other weekend at the time and was trying to decide between going to the Kansas game or the LSU game. I was off the weekend of the LSU game, but switched with someone and went to the Kansas game instead because I figured we had a better shot to win that one and it had also been announced that the Kansas game would count as a CUSA game for us that season.

I have three very clear memories from that game:

We had a long (like 60 yard) fumble return for a touchdown that put us up early.

Our offense struggled to move the ball and the defense wore down late, giving up a long TD play and then what turned out to be the game winning FG in the 4th quarter.

We got the ball back down 3 with like 4 minutes to go, we went 3 and out and punted and never saw the ball again. That was a loooong drive back to Birmingham.

As I recall, you were not alone in that choice. Before the season UAB was told to choose which OOC game to count as a proxy conference game. UAB chose the Kansas game for the same reason you stated. Defeating LSU in what became their Homecoming game was not expected. After losing to Auburn and a week later to UAB, Coach Saban put in a new QB and did not lose another conference game that season.
