UAB has hopes of winning on homecoming vs. Tulsa and getting their first win since Week 1
It’s been over two months since Trent Dilfer’s UAB Blazers won a football game, the last win coming against Alcorn State in the season opener.
If the Blazers want to extend their homecoming win streak to three-straight wins, they’ll have to shut down a Tulsa offense coming off a 437-yard performance in what was an improbable 28-point comeback victory against UTSA last weekend. It’ll be a battle of overall struggling units, as UAB’s defense had a better showing for much of their last game against USF, but ultimately imploded late in the game, allowing the Bulls to pull away and cement a 35-25 victory in Tampa.
The Blazer offense, still without starting quarterback Jacob Zeno, has changed immensely in his absence. While Jalen Kitna’s gunslinger mentality and lack of starting experience has led to untimely turnovers, the talent is there. His style is reminiscent of a young Brett Favre or Philip Rivers, right down to the unorthodox release.
