BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--The UAB football team practiced for roughly two hours at Legion Field on Tuesday afternoon, the squad's first workout since last week's 39-17 loss at Houston.
The Blazers have now turned their focus to East Carolina (4-3, 3-1 C-USA), who took a 41-7 home victory over Memphis last week.
"The best part of ECU's defense is that they play good team defense," head coach Garrick McGee said. "They're well coached, and I think their defensive front is as dominant as any defensive front we're going to see this year."
UAB (1-5, 0-2 C-USA) will host East Carolina at 6 p.m. CT on Saturday at Legion Field. The game will air on Fox College Sports, with Steve Physioc calling the play-by-play, Ben Leber as analyst and Lesley McCaslin on the call from the sidelines.
The contest will also air locally on the Blazer IMG Sports Network on WUHT-FM 107.7. The voice of the Blazers, David Crane will call the game action with John Whitcomb providing analysis and Sam Miller reporting from the sidelines.
