The UAB Blazers have managed to be a relatively new program, have football disbanded, resurrect the program, and overcome COVID-19 to play football in 2020. That’s a lot of obstacles on the way to success. UAB, located in beautiful Birmingham, AL, has started off the season 1-0 after knocking off Central Arkansas.
CAU, an FCS program, kicked off their season with a victory over fellow FCS program Austin Peay on August 29th, and then with a close 35-45 loss to UAB on September 3rd. UAB looked sharp on offense with quarterback Tyler Johnston III throwing for 143 yards and two scores (with one interception), and QB Bryson Lucero going 7-for-9 with a touchdown, too.
