You mean the same QB that has played in all 7 of UAB's games? As for starter, you mean the turnover machine Tyler Johnston III that most UAB fans were begging to be benched?

Not even close to the same but UAB did win and records do matter....


still doesnt change my mind that UTSA was and is the better team.

Ghost is a ghost, so as a non-corporeal being he is incapable of applauding as his two ethereal hands will simply go through each other.

Yes our starter that has a CUSA Championship and a bow win.

And I'm sure that bow really sets off his hair but how will it affect your chances against Rice?

You know more about UAB Football than UAB Football knows about itself. You have any effective offensive play calling ability or strategies? Coach Clark could use some of that knowledge right now.

Any updates from Birmingham? Is the equipment truck on its way to Houston? Assume the team flight will also be sometime today?

On the bus minus 31 players:(

I have more respect for UAB than my own program right now.

They're giving it a shot and that's all I can ask for. I've no reason to be disappointed if Rice wins it. It's been a crazy year and at least we got to see our teams play some games (Sorry, ODU).

Are many starters? It's amazing when college football teams have 100 players on the roster (not just UAB, obviously, seems like it's everyone).

IIRC it was 15 in the rotation a few days ago.

Betting line is still UAB a 7.5 point favorite?

VegasInsider has it at UAB -7 with 90% of bets going Rice to cover.

....some of us faced those "issues" earlier in the year, and it wasn't any easier. For example LA Tech missed a 3 game stretch that --without the COVID "issues"-- Tech could easily be sporting an 8-3 record, instead of 5-3.

Before giving UAB respect there needs to be context...

they had NO CHOICE but to play if they wanted any chance of winning a conference championship.

If UAB did not need another game under their belt you can bet the farm they would have did the same as Marshall. I'm 100% sure of that.

As it pains me to say I'm pretty sure Rice will **** this up and lose. Which means *Marshall will get their 2nd conference championship. The only team in the west that has a chance of beating Marshall in the *championship game is USTA. That would include Rice if they had a chance at playing in it.

UTSA is the only team that wouldnt deserve the * before 2020 CUSA conference champs.

Don’t be shy. If you have an opinion, say it.

Seems a little odd that among the teams you say have not chance is the one team that has has already beaten them. In WV. By shutout.

But people having opinions like this is what fuels our massive sports betting industry.

I don’t know if we would do it again. But we could.
