once more they lucked out by catching a team on their 3rd or 4th string QB and not really having to prove themselves during the season. I apologize to USTA fans for Western's coach not being able to spot what it takes to play QB. If Helton had a clue UAB has 2 loses.

Its clear that UTSA is the best team in the west

Lol you never stop. It’s convenient you pay attention to what qb they were on, but not us. And we beat you guys by 23. Maybe another qb made a difference there, but did that stop us from scoring too? We could win a game by 70, and somehow, some way, it would be luck in your mind.

lol. Y’all realize UAB has been playing their third quarterback? Our starter is back. I don’t give a damn who we play. Let’s tee it up and play. Bring it on *******.

Did they play head to head?

Who won?

Yes a decent qb would have made a huge difference the QB Western started couldnt read a defense if his life depended on it. It showed by his INTS and the fumble before the half. UAB scores 14 off of 3 TOs. Another 7 off a block punt...another Western qb, probably wouldnt have punted LOL

Then after the fumble by KT hes was throwing the ball into the dirt for most of the 2nd half....hit him and hes basically finished. Because not only cant he read a defense. He's going to throw the ball to his first read (open or not) after getting hit/fumble.

I honestly dont know if Western has a decent/game manager QB on the team. Helton will not give any other QB a chance but Piggy and KT. I think there is because in 7 games 2 years ago Davis Shanley was a 68% passer and hardly turned it over. But we wont know if that would have made a difference...it didnt happen. The L is a L

What I do know....UAB seems to be a very lucky team when it comes to playing a top West team without their qb. As for Mr INT Tyler Johnston III....most UAB fans were calling for him to be bench since early last season. UAB was lucky every team in the east was off in the UAB championship year. That Middle team that cant count to 12 would finish 4th in the east any of the other 5 seasons of 3.0 (all teams). While the UAB defense was very good that year...

any other 3.0 year I dont see UAB with that defense holding a eastern team in the championship to under 35.

Now go out ad choke to Middle, or get 5 personal fouls and 3 unsportman and let Middle kick a game winning fg. Well, they will probably have 12 men on the field if they do....

Seeing cry baby Bill Clark crying about them and losing will be best damn day of the football season. Like I said Middle will probably give Stockstill a new contract. That would be two wins in my book.

To be 100% honest its Bill Clark I dislike. I think hes a cry baby and is OK with borderline and going over the line dirty plays

Well that’s fair if that’s what you want to go with.

Obviously he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to our program. I can agree that he does seem to be ok with those plays though, they happen too often for my liking.

As far as Johnston goes, he hasn’t been healthy in quite some time. But he’s one of those qbs that can throw a dime 40 yards down the field, but can’t hit a guy five yards away. We don’t have an adequate qb on the roster, unless he is fully healthy now. I think Lucero has some upside, but not playing in high school surely hindered his development.

Talk about cry babies. Lol

Yeah.....that'll show 'em! LOL!

So now that the UAB at MTSU game is canceled, should CUSA get UAB and UTSA together like my original idea?

Help me out here, what are the pros and cons now that the MTSU and UAB game is canceled?

We already played UAB once, no need to play them again. UAB controls their own destiny, we have played our schedule.

Okay, so I took a look at everything. Even if UTSA is able to schedule another game, unless it's UAB, they wait on others to control their destiny. As it is right now, if UAB beats Rice next week, it doesn't matter, UAB would own the timebreaker on head to head.

UAB beats Rice, they win the West. Rice beats UAB, UTSA wins the West.

Shockingly, if you've been following my posts on the East side, Rice also has a major hand in determining the East division winner.

So...Rice controls the destiny of CUSA in 2020, LOL!

Rice is in the pressure cooker.

You're incentive to play UAB is to win the division outright.

If CUSA set up another UAB and UTSA game this weekend, and you win, you win the division. There will not be a need to worry about tiebreakers and percentages. As it is, if things stay the same, and UAB beats Rice next weekend, you lose out.

I have no problem with playing UTSA again, bring it on.

It would be a fun match up, with the Division on the line. Question is, where would the game be played?

There shouldn't be a rematch. UAB has already beaten us head-to-head in Birmingham. I just don't like the numbers game C-USA came up with to compensate for this COVID season though. If UAB really does just play one more game, against Rice, and wins to finish 3-1, they'll have played 4 total conference games while UTSA has 5 conference wins (5-2). There's something just not right about a team that has only had to play 4 games finishing ahead of a team with 5 wins. If they were 4-0, it would be different, but they're not.

Then someone schedule us some games damnit.

So you didn’t play a full conference slate either, huh? What the hell are any of us to do this year? We knew when we signed up this **** would go on, and here we are. No matter who goes, there will be a huge asterisk by this entire season.

I disagree, I don't think there will be any asterisks on this season.

I will also say this, I don't think it's fair that the math works in favor of the team that plays less games regardless.

They are going off of win percentage, and when you've only played four games, of course your win percentage is going to be inflated over a team that plays much more games.

I also think it's stupid that they're keeping to the divisional format, they should have grouped everyone together like the American has, and pulled the two best record teams.

That would have meant Marshall versus FAU.

You're right about all of that. I would also add though that UAB is 1-1 in the West while we're 4-1 in the West. And If LA Tech beats UNT, they'll also be 4-1 in the West. Not to mention that UTSA has played 7 conference games while UAB has currently played 7 games in total. All of that just makes it hard for me to accept that the one head-to-head you had with us in Birmingham would essentially decide it all.

Like I said on here before though, I'd be happy as long as we get into a bowl. It's just that with more and more bowl cancellations occurring, that may not be in our cards now either.
