South Alabama and UAB will play a home-and-home football series in 2019 and 2020, it was announced Friday.
The Jaguars and Blazers will meet at Legion Field in Birmingham on Sept. 21, 2019, with the return game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile on Sept. 26, 2020. The series will be the first meetings between the two programs.
"It's always great when you can play for in-state bragging rights," UAB head coach Bill Clark said. "Both fan bases will be able to travel for these games and that will create an exciting atmosphere. South Alabama has proven it can compete with Top 25 teams and it will be a very competitive series when we take the field in 2019.
