UAB vs Liberty Game Preview
Why UAB Will Win
It was just one game against an overmatched team, but head coach Bryant Vincent got a strong performance from his team in a 59-0 win over Alabama A&M.

The UAB blazer running game will be almost as strong as what Southern Miss brought last week – only without the turnovers and third down stalls.
