And that could be possible... but sometimes, losing alot of people off a bad team isn't bad. I'd rather lose 30 seniors off a 3-9 team than lose 30 seniors off a 9-3 team. Getting some fresh blood in there (both as players and coaches) means that the attitude of pessimism and losing won't be there as much as it was last year. The one thing I've heard and seen from watching practices this year is that this team is MUCH more upbeat and MUCH better conditioned and disciplined. UAB won't be wilting in the 4th quarter as was a hallmark of Watson Brown-coached teams.
Your OL against our DL is the key to the whole game for me. I think UAB can hold their own in most other positions, but if we can't stop the run game, we'll be in trouble... so that's the matchup I'll be looking at most closely.
