The opener against Alabama State will be the fourth straight year kicking off the season on Thursday and the seventh time in the last eight years opening on a Thursday.

The Week 3 contest against Akron is the second game of a home-and-home series which dates back to 2019 when the Blazers defeated the Zips 31-20 in Ohio. The return game in Birmingham was supposed to be in 2020 but it was rescheduled for this season.
