Both of the C-USA sides in this matchup were looking to rebound after losses last week. However, it was the UAB Blazers who improved their record while the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders were unable to get much done. The final score ended up 41-14 as the Blazers picked up yet another home win.
UAB wasted little time getting on the scoreboard with rushing touchdowns on their first two drives, jumping out to a 14-0 lead. DeWayne McBride and Jermaine Brown Jr. picked up a score each, on those possessions.
MTSU answered halfway through the first quarter with a nine play, 72-yard drive that ended in a Chase Cunningham touchdown pass to Jaylin Lane.
