My vote is that UAB wins. I thought CCU would be back on track and ready to face D1 at this point but I guess not.
Attendance will be 15,000
MVP will be Erdely

Tough matchup but this game should not be as close as last year’s game. If we don’t turn it over. They will score on us but

UAB = 40
CCU = 24

ATT: 15,000

MVP. AJ.
