UAB vs UTSA Game Preview
Why UAB Will Win
UAB has come through time and again over the last few years when it absolutely had to win a game to get in the Conference USA title mix.
It doesn’t win the West with a victory over UTSA, but win this, beat UTEP, and get into the Conference USA title game to play – most likely – WKU.
The Blazers overcame the strange loss to Rice to roll through Louisiana Tech and Marshall to not only get bowl eligible, but to get in a position to take the division.

The underwhelming 27-17 win over a bad Southern Miss team last week should be a plus.

Again, few teams over the last few years do a better job than UAB when getting the opportunity to come up with a key win, but this Roadrunner team is way too tough and way too tough up front.
Don’t expect fireworks, but UTSA will take the grinding win.
