There doesn’t seem to be an adversary that can prevent the UAB football team from playing for a conference title.
A slew of injuries was not enough a year ago, nor is a global pandemic in an unprecedented college football season, and despite four straight canceled games in November, UAB managed to clinch a third consecutive division title in the final week of the regular season.
The Blazers (5-3, 3-1 C-USA) are back for another helping as they face the Marshall Thundering Herd (7-1, 5-1 C-USA) in the 2020 Ryan Conference USA Championship Game, Friday, Dec. 18, at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia.
