UAB played about as a weak of a schedule as you could play. Ohio played well but struggled in the end with a few cold weather games. Now they get to go to the Bahamas being recharged and fresh and ready for a big win in the warm weather.
UAB's offense struggled considerably in their L/3 gms. While being
held to just 180 yds vs Fla wasn't surprising, they were also held to
just 265 yds vs UTSA & their 334 yds vs UTEP was 123 yds less than
the Miners allow on avg.
UAB cannot stop the run and that is the strength of the OHIO U team.
The Ohio rushing attack, which averages 5.6 yards per carry (top 12 in the nation), should feast against a UAB defense allowing 4.4 yards per carry (70th in the nation). I like the experienced team and coach Frank Solich to get a double digit WIN here on Friday afternoon.
