Whoa now. I'm a little nervous about making predictions this year since we're so short on numbers, but you act as though UAB has not ever been competitive.
Since UAB moved to Division I about 10 years ago, only a handful of teams from BCS conferences have scored 40pts or more against UAB: Virginia Tech (1998), Wake Forrest (1999), Florida (2002), and South Carolina (2003). That's only 4 times out of the 20-25 BCS opponents we've played in that time.
In addition, UAB (and probably
MSU as well) will be more run-oriented, so I would expect this to be a fairly quick, relatively lower scoring game. But again, having little idea what to expect from our team,
MSU could score 40pts on us... I just kind of doubt it. In fact, I kind of even doubt
MSU scores 30. I think both
MSU and UAB will score 30pts or less.
