WKU (1-4), (1-2, C-USA) suffered their second consecutive loss 37-14 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (4-1), (2-0, C-USA). UAB extends their winning streak at home to 21 games.

In his first collegiate start, redshirt sophomore quarterback Kevaris Thomas put up two touchdowns and 162 passing yards. He was prone to the turnover though, allowing the Blazers defense to intercept him twice.

“Not good enough. I feel like I could have did a lot of things better to help the team,” Thomas said when evaluating his performance

Freshman DeWayne McBride was sensational Saturday carrying the load for the Blazers offense, tallying one touchdown run on 10 carries and 131 rushing yards.
