This American Athletic Conference clash between Tulsa and UAB brings two teams striving to turn around underwhelming seasons. Tulsa, led by quarterback Cardell Williams, has shown glimpses of potential offensively, averaging just under 25 points per game. Williams has been effective in spreading the ball to his receivers, particularly Marquis Shoulders, a top target for big plays down the field.

However, Tulsa’s offense has suffered from inconsistency, especially against strong defensive lines, a vulnerability UAB will aim to exploit. UAB’s defense, however, has been one of the weakest in the conference, allowing over 30 points per game. Offensively, UAB is led by running back Jermaine Brown Jr., whose rushing contributions add balance to the Blazers’ playbook. Despite their defensive struggles, UAB’s offense has managed to keep games competitive with solid production on the ground and through the air. The outcome of this game will likely hinge on defensive stops and turnover margins, with both teams needing a disciplined approach to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
