UAB Blazers
UAB's offense has been a blend of passing and rushing elements, with QB Jacob Zeno throwing for 2,841 yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions, and RB Jermaine Brown Jr. leading their ground attack with 687 yards. Despite this however, their inconsistent passing game (74.5% completion rate) has been a point of concern. Defense has been a major struggle for UAB, with their rush defense conceding 193.1 yards per game (12th in the American conference) and their pass defense averaging 222.9 yards (5th). Their last game against Temple however was a success (34-24 win), which has been an exception rather than the rule this season. Injuries from key players such as RB Isaiah Jacobs and TE J.C. Sivley have limited UAB's depth and thus strategic options this season. UAB stands at a critical juncture with a 4-7 record and 97 power ranking. Their offense has been a blend of passing and rushing, though the passing game has been inconsistent (74.5% completion rate). Defensively they have struggled, giving up an average of 36.2 points per game (12th in American conference) and 193.1 yards per game rushing (12th). While their last game against Temple was successful, injuries from key players, such as RB Isaiah Jacobs and TE J.C. Sivley, have limited depth this season.
