I can't believe that the combined points are only 47.5. Where can a man bet the house?
If they don't score and we let off in the 2nd half it may be below that.

Their offense just doesn't seem good right now.

While (Shawn) Clark inherits a former FCS powerhouse turned Group of Five champions, (Bill) Clark made an immediate impact on the UAB program before it was shut down and then rebuilt it from scratch upon reinstatement. The Blazers are 28-12 since returning to the field in 2017 and have won consecutive division titles and the 2018 C-USA Championship. Advantage: UAB

I don’t agree with this at all. I guess last years bowl game wasn’t considered.

Draft prospects to watch in all bowl games:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2020/insi ... es-2019-20

"Akeem Davis-Gaither, OLB, Appalachian State: Davis-Gaither is an instinctive, rangy and athletic outside linebacker who can match up in underneath coverage. He also has the motor to develop into a core special-teams contributor. The downside? Davis-Gaither's frame raises concerns about his ability to hold up against the run, so it's unlikely he'll develop into an every-down linebacker. Some teams might even project him as a safety."

UAB forces a lot of fumbles (27 in 13 games), ball security will be critical!

Weird stat is they've only scored 27 points in the 4th quarter for the season. Either they get up a coast or get punched in the mouth and quit is how I read that.

My Christmas wish for this game is an App State blowout of epic proportions. Hang 100 on them! Can't wait until Saturday.

Slick. We will look fast. I prefer the black domes though.

My quick layover in Auburn is almost up, heading the rest of the way shortly. See y'all in New Orleans this evening!

Love the look. If memory is correct, Evans did pregame video at last year's NOLA Bowl.

White helmet changes the traditional look a lot more than I thought. Very slick look. Will look great on the field in a blur as he flies past our opponents.

There’s some good material in the article to motivate our defense. Apparently our D is 💩 compared to UAB.

Considering most UAB fans don’t even think they can win, hard to imagine anyone picking UAB.

This UAB team started 6-1 before the QB went down and were pretty prolific on offense. With him back will they be that team or the one that went 3-3 down the stretch?
