After two games on the road, UAB is heading back home. They will take on the South Florida Bulls at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. UAB is expected to lose this one by four points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.

UAB has been struggling to pick up a victory, as their matchup against Tulane made it four losses in a row. UAB took a 35-23 hit to the loss column at the hands of Tulane on Saturday. The loss hurts even more since UAB was up 20-7 with 5:11 left in the second.

Isaiah Jacobs put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns. While his performance might not make the highlight reel, Matt Quinn was a big playmaker, having booted in three field goals and two extra points.

Meanwhile, South Florida was not the first on the board last Saturday, but they got there more often. They enjoyed a cozy 44-30 victory over Navy. South Florida was down 14-0 with 8:54 left in the first quarter but they still came back for a handy 14-point win.

South Florida's win bumped their season record to 3-2 while UAB's defeat dropped theirs to 1-4.

While only South Florida took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. As mentioned, they are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by four points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're covered the spread the last three times they've played.

We should be in store for an exciting game Saturday as both UAB and South Florida have no problem gaining yardage. The Blazers haven't faced much difficulty moving down the field this season, having averaged 418.2 total yards per game. However, it's not like the Bulls struggle in that department as they've been averaging 439.2 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
