10/6: UAB Game

[T1]

#3 passing defense. Uh oh... either they've played a bunch of running teams or J'Mar will struggle this week.

I think they played mostly running teams and their first game of the season with powerhouse Savannah State (23 passing yards) pad the stats.


UAB vs Opponents (Passing Offense Rankings)
#-- Savannah State
#110 Coastal
#99 Tulane
#84 Charlotte
#21 Louisiana Tech

UAB vs Opponents (Rushing Offense Rankings)
#-- Savannah State
#21 Coastal
#42 Tulane
#107 Charlotte
#87 Louisiana Tech

Good research. They are not really prepared for our receivers, imo.

That must be a misprint...

We have a stat padded game in Southern putting up 427 yards in the air, but we did putt up 330 passing yards @LSU. We will be their most challenging offensive opponent.

A stat we are doing well in is fewest penalties. Take into account we played 3 road games @USA, @LSU, @UNT. Also, last week we were up against Ken Antee. That's pretty damn good.

Louisiana Tech (NCAA Rankings)
#4 Fewest Penalties
#8 Fewest Penalties Per Game
#5 Fewest Penalty Yards
#7 Fewest Penalty Yards Per Game

I was being a little facetious. Reading here, you would think our QB is wetting himself every play and can't hit a receiver to save his life.

I would guess that most teams have had a stat padding game at this point in the year.

We are #1 in Red Zone Offense (17/17 with 11 TD's and 6 FG's). Tied with 12 other teams though... still nice to be #1.

We are doing good in sacks by our defense (Top 10). UAB is doing better than us and they haven't really played a passing team yet (). I wonder if they blitz a lot?

I want to beat UAB's azzz! LA Tech was repeatedly cheated at Legion Field last year. Here's just one (1) example:

That game was still the only time I've ever seen a football team receive a 15-yd "unsportsmanlike" conduct dead ball foul penalty because our WR (McKnight) stood up and made the 1st down signal (pointed 1st down) after making a tremendous catch and achieving the 1st down deep in UAB territory. That single penalty changed everything. LA Tech went from having a 1st down and 10 around UAB's 25 or 30 yd-line to suddenly replaying 3rd down and 25 (with penalty) or so. It killed our drive and any chances we had of scoring on that drive.

Before last year's game against UAB, I had seen at least 100 players make that same 1st down signal after a 1st down catch, without penalty. And since that game, I've see it about 50 more times, without penalty. Those referees in Birmingham literally cheated us, and I WANT PAYBACK.

seldom fuss about refs but I felt that refs wanted UAB to win a game after their rebooting ... even worse when we play them in BB- like you I never have seen penalty on what I call the Bobbie Slaughter celebration ( he never received penalty) -- refs deserved the Earl Thomas salute

Love the posters on BlazerTalk [Thread: What La Tech is Saying]


"We never should have let them in the conference. The only thing they had going for them was women basketball tradition and now its no big deal. Plus you have to go to the only place that's a bigger armpit than Hattiesburg to play"

"How dare you speak of tropical and exotic Ruston, Louisiana that way?!?!?!"

We should never have let them stay in the conference after they failed to meet the membership requirements.

That's rich considering Birmingham is the Shithole of the south.

That's rich considering Birmingham is the Shithole of the south.

My thoughts exactly. Hell, even the real University of Alabama quit playing there years ago (I believe our last game with them was the last game there).

It's Monday morning, is Tech marketing this game via social media?

Isn't the UAB game our Red Out game? We should be doing a better job of game promotion, ESPECIALLY after a HUGE win last week!

No that was just another screw up by our AD.

Rice is the Red Out game (11/10)
