UAB Football today announced the date for the homecoming game, which will be on Saturday, Oct. 7. The Blazers will play Conference-USA rival Louisiana Tech University in the third home game of the 2017 season, UAB’s first since 2014.
UAB is 0-5 all time against the La Tech Bulldogs, who are the reigning C-USA West Division champions and finished last season with a 9-5 record. The first time the two programs met as Conference USA members was on Nov. 8, 2014 when the Bulldogs beat the Blazers 40-24.
This homecoming game will be the first since UAB beat North Texas 56-21 on Oct.
