UAB hosts UConn at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, AL.
After an offensive explosion unlike anything seen this season, UAB finally got their first win since August vs Tulsa. Now, the challenge is to get their second straight, something they haven’t done since Trent Dilfer took over as head coach in 2023.
Gordon Sammis served as the team’s offensive line coordinator for two seasons and was promoted to offensive play-caller prior to this season. This directly correlates with UAB’s greatest weakness, its rushing defense, which ranks fifth worst in the entire FBS. In prior games against top rushing attacks in Arkansas, Navy and Army it’s been a glaring issue and the main reason they lost all three of those games.
Switching gears, UConn’s defense has also seen increased success this season, much due to the hiring of former Mississippi State defensive coordinator Matt Brock. Every week he’s played, Blazer quarterback Jalen Kitna has continued to show more of why he was a once sought after recruit at Florida.
