UAB hits the road to take on Georgia Southern on Saturday in Statesboro.
In the season opener, North Carolina A&T rushed for 137 yards on 41 rushing attempts but was held to only 2-of-8 passing for 16 yards. UAB collected six sacks on designed passing plays but the overall imbalance of offensive attack is not a credible indicator of defensive capabilities.
Georgia Southern enters its 10th season as an FBS program and was powered by the triple option for decades following an epic run as an FCS powerhouse -- winning six national championships and 10 Southern Conference titles. Helton and Ellis swiftly reinvented the offense for the modern era and the Eagles finished fourth nationally in passing yards in only the first season operating a completely different system.
Similar to UAB, the Eagles faced a run-heavy offense in the first game of the season and have yet to face an offense capable of high-volume passing.
