2019 Week 6 Preview: Rice Owls @ UAB Blazers

The Blazers, 2018 C-USA champions, only lost one conference game under Bill Clark a season ago. In the preseason media poll, UAB was expected to regress in the conference standings, but the Blazers were the last team to hoist an unblemished record in the conference. That record finally crumbled last weekend in a 20-13 loss to WKU. UAB threw four interceptions in an offensive struggle, averaging just 4.3 yards per play in the C-USA West showdown.
