BIRMINGHAM – Conference USA has announced that the UAB football team will travel to Murfreesboro next Sunday, Dec. 6 to play Middle Tennessee at 1:30 p.m. CST. Broadcast information will be released later in the week.
The game between the Blazers (4-3, 2-1 C-USA) and the Blue Raiders (3-6, 2-4 C-USA) came about after both teams had multiple cancelations throughout the past few weeks. UAB has had three straight games canceled, while Middle Tennessee has had two of its last three C-USA games postponed.
"We'd like to thank Conference USA for scheduling this game," said Director of Athletics Mark Ingram. "While we would have liked to have played this game in Birmingham at Legion Field to have a proper Senior Day for our student-athletes, at this point in the season we are grateful to have another conference game that provides us an opportunity to compete for a West Division championship. We are also excited that Murfreesboro is a reasonable distance from Birmingham which allows our fans an opportunity to see the Blazers play."
UAB is still in contention for the Conference USA Championship Game and needs to win out to make it back to the title game for a third straight year. Following Middle Tennessee, the Blazers are scheduled to play at Rice on Dec. 12.
The Blazers and Blue Raiders last met in the 2018 Conference USA Championship Game, which was a 27-25 UAB victory, marking its first league title in program history. Overall, the series is tied at four games apiece.
