UAB’s Defensive Woes
The Blazers are heading to Tulsa after their loss last Saturday against USF, with a final score of 48-18. This is the fourth loss in a row for the Blazers as they look to end their regular season on a high note on Saturday. UAB is far removed from any playoff chances and will look to improve in the offseason.
UAB has had a major issue this season, which has been their defense. The Blazers rank 135th in points allowed and 122nd in yards allowed. What has been their biggest crux is their run defense, with the Blazers sitting 120th in rushing yards allowed. The offensive line has not been able to apply much pressure on the run game or their pass game, with UAB ranking 114th in sacks this season. Even if their offense was capable of putting up consistent points, their defense alone would keep them from winning many of their matches this season.
On offense, we have seen a decent pass game come from the Blazers as they sit 23rd overall in passing yards. The Blazers have been forced to rely on their pass game to make the most of the possessions they get as their defense turns the ball over far too often and allows far too many points. Leading their offense this season has been senior quarterback Jalen Kitna, who has averaged 255.1 yards per game and has 11 touchdowns across his nine games started. He had 230 yards passing, but had three INTs in his last game against North Texas

Tulsa Finding Success In Run Game
The Golden Hurricane is returning home after their win last Saturday against Army with a final score of 26-25. This win would be their first consecutive win of the season for Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane, much like UAB, is far removed from any playoff chances but will aim to end their season on a good note in front of a home crowd.
Tulsa has not been known as a great offensive team as they only sit 104th in points this season but have generated a decent amount of yards during their drives. Tulsa is 34th in first downs this season and is 53rd in rushing yards. The fault in their offense, unfortunately, comes from their capabilities in the red zone. The Golden Hurricane are struggling to convert their drives into points despite them finding the end zone on many of their drives. The offense has been led by senior running back Dominic Richardson who has averaged 96.8 yards per game on the ground and five touchdowns across his 11 starts.
The defense for Tulsa has lacked luster with them ranking 95th in points allowed and 117th in plays. Tulsa seems unable to stop the run game, sitting 112th in rushing yards allowed and 120th in rushing first down conversions. Their opposition has been able to consistently convert on third down with the run game alone which can hurt a team both from a yardage standpoint but also a time standpoint as Tulsa loses precious time to their opponents’ drives.

UAB Blazers versus Tulsa Golden Hurricane Picks and Predictions
Spread Pick for UAB vs. Tulsa
- Tulsa -8.5 (-110) (3 units)
UAB has a record of 5-10-0 against the spread in games since 2024 following a loss. Tulsa has played one game this season in which they were a home favorite, and they managed to cover that spread of +22.5. Neither team has a reliable run defense, but Tulsa has a decent run game in which they can take advantage of the poor defense of UAB. Tulsa is on a hot streak after their last two games and will likely continue that momentum into their final game of the season at home.
Over/Under Pick for UAB vs. Tulsa
- Over 58.5 (-105) (4 units)
UAB has an over/under record of 6-2-0 in games since 2024, where they are a road underdog. Tulsa has an over/under record of 7-4-0 in games at home since 2024. Neither team has a reliable defense but both seem to have decent offenses that should be capable of taking advantage of each others’ weaknesses on defense. Tulsa will likely not chew the clock as UAB struggles to stop the ground game and UAB should not burn too much clock either with their pass game driving down field. With two bad defenses and a fast-paced game, I have to take the over.
