UAB @ Florida Atlantic

Current Records: UAB 4-3; Florida Atlantic 3-5

What to Know

The UAB Blazers and the Florida Atlantic Owls are set to square off in a Conference USA matchup at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 29 at FAU Stadium. The Blazers have a defense that allows only 17.71 points per game, so Florida Atlantic's offense will have their work cut out for them.

UAB was close but no cigar last week as they fell 20-17 to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. RB DeWayne McBride put forth a good effort for the losing side as he picked up 197 yards on the ground on 24 carries. McBride's longest run was for 64 yards in the second quarter.

Speaking of close games: it was close but no cigar for the Owls as they fell 24-21 to the UTEP Miners last week. QB N'Kosi Perry had a pretty forgettable game, fumbling the ball once with only 164 yards passing.

The Blazers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on UAB's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Having both suffered close losses, these teams will no doubt be fighting for every inch to win this one. Giving up four turnovers, UAB had had trouble holding onto the ball. We'll see if Florida Atlantic can exploit that vulnerability.
