Prediction Thread - UAB vs WKU
I'm super excited for this game! I think it will be the first time we will really be able to see what we have. I have to go a surprise birthday party in the second half, so I'm planning on hiding in their guest bedroom and watching from my phone.
I think that we come out and are a little bit rattled, being a young team playing our first road conference game. Both phases of our offense sputter, and struggles to find a rhythm. No interceptions, as WKU's passing defense is statistically dreadful, but TJ3 misses a few wide open ones, and we get a few drops due to looking up field prematurely. We give up some big plays and go in at half down 13-3.
Bill Clark chews some a** at halftime and we come out guns a'blazing. Defense clinches down and only gives up another field goal in the second half. We rack up 4 sacks in the second half as their Arkansas grad transfer tries to do to much, holding onto the ball too long. We put together a few nice drives airing it out, and they end up spreading the defense to compensate. We see glimpses of the Spencer Brown we have grown to know and love due to the less congested box.
UAB 24
WKU 16

However relevant this really is.... just hoping Storey doesn’t play his best college game tomorrow. Here’s his stats at Arkansas.

I'm thinking 38-17.... its 24-17 going into 4th quarter, we get a couple of stops and score a couple to pad the lead. We need to start playing 4 quarters on offense.

RE: Prediction Thread - UAB vs WKU
This is the best defensive line UAB has faced this year. Our offensive line is still the weakest link in our chain. Its a road game. We have no ground game. Our defense is still largely untested against a sophisticated offense, except a wide receiver from Akron with zero prior starts posted over 200 yards receiving on our secondary.
We have gaps. The question is whether wku can exploit them.
UAB by 7. We win late in the fourth quarter with a defensive play. Watkins has three TD catches. Starling Thomas makes a big play at a crucial time.
Garret goes off and Marinos each of the three QBs they rotate. He becomes a verb.

The hardest game to predict in the first half of the season. If UAB wins we are basically a lock for a bowl game and still in the hunt for the C-USA West. A win for WKY basically off sets the loss to Central Arkansas and there in the hunt for the East.
Mr Garrett Marino this game was made for you.
UAB 34 WKY 17

Couldn't disagree anymore. Even if UAB wins today I think the Blazers next two home games will represent a tremendous challange (Rice and ODU).
