UAB at Ball State Sept. 9 | 3ET/2CT Scheumann Stadium Watch: ESPN3 Series: First Meeting ROAD TEST: Coming off a resounding 38-7 victory over Alabama A&M to usher in a new era of UAB football, the Blazers play their first road game since Nov. 29, 2014 when they travel to Ball State to face the Cardinals for the first time in program history. UAB is seeking its first 2-0 start since 1992 and its first-ever 2-0 start as Division I members. PROGRAM MILESTONE: The return of UAB football could not have been scripted any better as UAB defeated Alabama A&M in front of a record crowd of 45,212. To open the game, the Blazers elected to receive and took the ball down the field on a 14 play, 76-yard drive which culminated in a 1-yard rushing TD by A.J. Erdely. Highlighted by the game, the historic weekend also featured a free concert by former UAB quarterback Sam Hunt as well as a visit from ESPN’s Marty Smith. ESPN has documented #theReturn of UAB football very closely and a feature will air on Smith’s new show “Marty Smith’s America” on Sept. 5 at 8:30 p.m. CST on ESPN2. DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE: The UAB defense was lights out against the Bulldogs, allowing just 183 total yards of offense. The Blazers tallied 12 tackles for loss, three sacks and had a pick-six from 340 lbs lineman Anthony Rush. After Week 1, UAB leads Conference USA in total defense and Tevin Crews leads all players with four TFL. Of those 183 yards allowed, only 45 were allowed in the rushing game. ERDELY LEADS OFFENSE: Quarterback A.J. Erdely threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in the win vs. Alabama A&M. He was 11-of-20 for 152 yards and found seven different receivers. MAC-tion: The game at Ball State marks another milestone for UAB as this will be the Blazers’ first-ever contest against a MAC opponent. In the upcoming years, UAB has signed a home-and-home with Akron for 2019 and 2020.

Clark will lead the Blazers out of the tunnel for their return to the football field on September 2, 2017 against Alabama A&M, just as he did in UAB’s last game, a 45-24 victory at Southern Miss on November 29, 2014. In Clark’s first season as head coach of the Blazers in 2014, he turned around a program that was 2-10 the year before into a team that finished 6-6 and earned bowl eligibility for the first time since 2004. Clark’s loyalty to the program has been paid back by the UAB Department of Athletics, Board of Trustees, donors and the city of Birmingham. Since 2015, UAB has raised over $43 million to reinstate Football, Bowling and Rifle, and Clark has helped engineer a $22.5 million state-of-the-art Football Operations Center. The Football Operations Center is UAB Football’s new home to coach’s offices, meeting and film rooms, athletic training facilities, locker rooms, a weight room, a nutrition station and three practice fields. One of those practice fields is a pioneering open-air covered pavilion made possible by Legacy Community Federal Credit Union. Legacy Credit Union announced the largest-ever sponsorship with UAB, a 20-year, $4.2 million naming right agreement for Legacy Pavilion, and in the process, became the official credit union of UAB. Clark also proved that UAB will be a contender from the moment the Blazers return to the field in 2017 as he signed the No. 2 rated recruiting class in Conference USA in 2016. In 2014, the Blazers had a school record 15 players earn AllConference USA honors, including three first team selections (RB Jordan Howard, DE Diaheem Watkins and KR J.J. Nelson). Nelson was also named the school’s first Walter Camp First Team AllAmerican.
Clark became Jacksonville State’s head coach after five outstanding seasons at South Alabama as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator. Clark’s defense at USA finished second in the Sun Belt Conference in total defense in 2012 as the Jaguars completed their first full season of competition in the league. South Alabama posted the best record of any Division I FCS Independent in 2011 after winning the first 17 games in the program’s history in 2009 and 2010. During the 2010 season, South Alabama allowed only 13 points and 254.6 yards per game en route to a 10-0 record. In 2009, the Jags allowed only 5.9 points and 234 yards per game when the defense forced 25 sacks and forced 23 turnovers in only seven games. Clark joined South Alabama in 2008 after spending nine years as head coach at Prattville (Ala.) High School where he led the Lions to national prominence. He won a pair of Class 6A State Championships as his last two teams won 30 straight games, while the 2007 squad was ranked No. 2 in USA Today’s national high school poll. Following his final season at Prattville High School, he was named the Alabama High School Athletic Association Coach of the Year and was also selected as the Schutt Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. He first led the Lions to the Class 6A state playoffs in 2000, his second season guiding the program. Clark earned his first postseason victory a year later, helping Prattville advance to the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual state champion, which is where the Lions’ season would end each of the next two falls. Prattville made its first state championship game appearance under Clark in 2004, with the team allowing three touchdowns in four postseason contests, including a pair of shutouts. The Lions advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2005 playoffs before dropping a two-point decision. Clark posted a 107-11 (90.7 percent) overall record during his tenure, suffering his last regular-season loss during the second week of the 2002 season.
The Blazers also experienced the country’s second-highest increase in home attendance average, growing by more than 130 percent. Prior to UAB, Clark was the head coach at Jacksonville State in 2013 and led the Gamecocks to an 11-4 record, their most victories since the 1992 campaign when JSU won the NCAA Division II National Championship. That number set an Ohio Valley Conference record and was also the most wins by a first-year head coach.
Clark served on the staff of the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic three times, including as head coach in the summer of 2007. He also served as head coach in the 2004 North-South All-Star Game. Clark began his coaching career as an assistant at Piedmont High School (1990-91) and also has coaching stints at Tuscaloosa County High School (1992-94), Coffee County (Ga.) High School (1995-96) and Dothan High School (1997-98).
Jacksonville State earned an at-large berth in the FCS Playoffs and captured two victories -- including a second-round win over No. 6 McNeese State to reach the quarterfinals. The wins were the
He graduated from Jacksonville State in 1990 with a degree in physical education. Clark and his wife, Jennifer, have two children: daughter, Katie and son Jacob. Jacob is a long snapper for the Blazers.

BLAZER BITES •
Not only did the city of Birmingham rally to bring the program back, but they helped set a new program record for attendance as 45,212 fans witnessed UAB’s return to the football field at Legion Field vs. Alabama A&M on Sept. 2. The Blazers defeated the Bulldogs 38-7.
•
The Blazers have 15 players on this year’s roster that were members of the 2014 team. Those players include: #1 Darious Williams (CB), #6 Wally Adams (WR), #13 Collin Lisa (WR), #17 Jordan Petty (S), #19 Nick Vogel (PK), #23 Tevin Crews (LB), #24 T.K. Lowe (S), #42 Shaq Jones (LB), #53 Zach Sims (OL), #63 Brad Minor (OL), #72 Lee Dufour (OL), #74 Bryant Novick (OL), #80 Stephen Pickren (TE), #82 Vernon Chatman (WR) and #92 Roderick McKinney (DL).

OFFENSIVE NOTES ERDELY EFFICIENT IN OPENER In his first collegiate start, quarterback A.J. Erdely accounted for three touchdowns as he threw for two and rushed for another. He completed 11-of-20 passes for 152 yards. Erdely appeared in five games at Middle Tennessee in 2014 but never made a start until last week vs. Alabama A&M in a Blazer uniform.
STEPHENS EMERGES AT RUNNING BACK Entering the Alabama A&M game with his name not even on the 2-deep, when all was said and done, redshirt freshman running back Carlos Stephen finished as the team’s leading rusher with 76 yards on 15 carries (5.1 YPC). Starting running back James Noble III pitched in with 74 yards on 13 carries (5.7 YPC), as the Blazers compiled 259 yards on the ground overall.
31 UNANSWERED With the game tied 7-7 late in the second quarter, Nick Vogel connected on a 45-yard field goal to give UAB a 10-7 halftime lead. That field goal jump-started 31 unanswered points as the Blazers outscored Alabama A&M 28-0 in the second half en route to a 38-7 victory.

DEFENSIVE NOTES BEHIND THE LINE UAB was dominant on defense in the season opener vs. Alabama A&M, allowing just 183 yards of total offense. The Blazers lived in the backfield as they tallied 12 TFL, led by Tevin Crews who had four. The seven points allowed were the least amount of points allowed since 2012 in a 52-3 victory vs. Southeastern Louisiana. UAB enters Week 2 as the Conference USA leader in total defense.
RUSH-ing TO THE END ZONE The defensive highlight of the game vs. Alabama A&M came midway through the third quarter with UAB leading 17-7. Defensive tackle Anthony Rush, standing at 6-foot-5, 340 lbs, deflected Aqeel Glass’ pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown to put the game out-of-reach at 24-7. His play garnered national attention as No. 6 on ESPN’s Top-10 as well as @ESPNCFB and @SI tweeting the play.
TEVIN’S BIG DAY Tevin Crews began his super senior year in style by recording a team-high seven tackles, three of which were for a loss. He also contributed one sack. Crews has been with the program since 2012 and is a team captain.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — UAB needed a half to shake off more than 1,000 days of rust before pulling away from Alabama A&M 38-7 on Saturday in the Blazers’ first game following a two-season hiatus. A.J. Erdely threw two touchdown passes and ran in another as the Blazers (1-0) scored 28 unanswered points in the second half against the FCS Bulldogs (0-1). School officials shut down the UAB program at the end of the 2014 season for financial reasons, but it was reinstated six months later after a fundraising effort generated what eventually became more than $44 million in contributions. The Blazers then sat out the 2015 and 2016 seasons in order to rebuild their roster. The Blazers were greeted Saturday by an announced crowd of 45,212, the largest in program history. UAB often played in front of home crowds of less than 10,000 before the temporary shutdown. And there was a true game-day atmosphere outside Legion Field in the hours before kickoff, something the program lacked while going through nine consecutive losing seasons. “The whole day was very special,” UAB coach Bill Clark said. “There were so many people who worked so hard to make this happen for us and our program. The crowd and the excitement and the energy, and all the work that went into making this happen, was special. “Then for our guys to respond the right way, it’s what we needed. It has been tough for these guys to practice and practice without playing a game.” Linebacker Tevin Crews, who led UAB with six tackles, is one of 15 players on this year’s team who are holdovers from 2014. He admits being caught up in the emotion of the moment when he ran onto the field before the game and saw the size of the crowd. “It went from there being nothing for six months, to now here we are with 45,000 people in the stands. It means a lot,” Crews said. “I just want to thank this community for stepping up and standing behind us and believing in this university. Now we just want to keep it going and deliver for them.” The Blazers broke the game open midway through the third quarter on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Erdely to Sederian Copeland, followed less than a minute later by a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown by Anthony Rush. The only score for Alabama A&M came on a 46-yard pass from Aqeel Glass to Rod Randolph.

UAB vs. BALL STATE SERIES Serier Began: 2017 Series Lead: N/A at UAB: N/A at Ball State: N/A Last Meeting: N/A
UAB at Ball State Sept. 9 | 3ET/2CT Scheumann Stadium Watch: ESPN3 Series: First Meeting ROAD TEST: Coming off a resounding 38-7 victory over Alabama A&M to usher in a new era of UAB football, the Blazers play their first road game since Nov. 29, 2014 when they travel to Ball State to face the Cardinals for the first time in program history. UAB is seeking its first 2-0 start since 1992 and its first-ever 2-0 start as Division I members. PROGRAM MILESTONE: The return of UAB football could not have been scripted any better as UAB defeated Alabama A&M in front of a record crowd of 45,212. To open the game, the Blazers elected to receive and took the ball down the field on a 14 play, 76-yard drive which culminated in a 1-yard rushing TD by A.J. Erdely. Highlighted by the game, the historic weekend also featured a free concert by former UAB quarterback Sam Hunt as well as a visit from ESPN’s Marty Smith. ESPN has documented #theReturn of UAB football very closely and a feature will air on Smith’s new show “Marty Smith’s America” on Sept. 5 at 8:30 p.m. CST on ESPN2. DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE: The UAB defense was lights out against the Bulldogs, allowing just 183 total yards of offense. The Blazers tallied 12 tackles for loss, three sacks and had a pick-six from 340 lbs lineman Anthony Rush. After Week 1, UAB leads Conference USA in total defense and Tevin Crews leads all players with four TFL. Of those 183 yards allowed, only 45 were allowed in the rushing game. ERDELY LEADS OFFENSE: Quarterback A.J. Erdely threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in the win vs. Alabama A&M. He was 11-of-20 for 152 yards and found seven different receivers. MAC-tion: The game at Ball State marks another milestone for UAB as this will be the Blazers’ first-ever contest against a MAC opponent. In the upcoming years, UAB has signed a home-and-home with Akron for 2019 and 2020.

Clark will lead the Blazers out of the tunnel for their return to the football field on September 2, 2017 against Alabama A&M, just as he did in UAB’s last game, a 45-24 victory at Southern Miss on November 29, 2014. In Clark’s first season as head coach of the Blazers in 2014, he turned around a program that was 2-10 the year before into a team that finished 6-6 and earned bowl eligibility for the first time since 2004. Clark’s loyalty to the program has been paid back by the UAB Department of Athletics, Board of Trustees, donors and the city of Birmingham. Since 2015, UAB has raised over $43 million to reinstate Football, Bowling and Rifle, and Clark has helped engineer a $22.5 million state-of-the-art Football Operations Center. The Football Operations Center is UAB Football’s new home to coach’s offices, meeting and film rooms, athletic training facilities, locker rooms, a weight room, a nutrition station and three practice fields. One of those practice fields is a pioneering open-air covered pavilion made possible by Legacy Community Federal Credit Union. Legacy Credit Union announced the largest-ever sponsorship with UAB, a 20-year, $4.2 million naming right agreement for Legacy Pavilion, and in the process, became the official credit union of UAB. Clark also proved that UAB will be a contender from the moment the Blazers return to the field in 2017 as he signed the No. 2 rated recruiting class in Conference USA in 2016. In 2014, the Blazers had a school record 15 players earn AllConference USA honors, including three first team selections (RB Jordan Howard, DE Diaheem Watkins and KR J.J. Nelson). Nelson was also named the school’s first Walter Camp First Team AllAmerican.
Clark became Jacksonville State’s head coach after five outstanding seasons at South Alabama as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator. Clark’s defense at USA finished second in the Sun Belt Conference in total defense in 2012 as the Jaguars completed their first full season of competition in the league. South Alabama posted the best record of any Division I FCS Independent in 2011 after winning the first 17 games in the program’s history in 2009 and 2010. During the 2010 season, South Alabama allowed only 13 points and 254.6 yards per game en route to a 10-0 record. In 2009, the Jags allowed only 5.9 points and 234 yards per game when the defense forced 25 sacks and forced 23 turnovers in only seven games. Clark joined South Alabama in 2008 after spending nine years as head coach at Prattville (Ala.) High School where he led the Lions to national prominence. He won a pair of Class 6A State Championships as his last two teams won 30 straight games, while the 2007 squad was ranked No. 2 in USA Today’s national high school poll. Following his final season at Prattville High School, he was named the Alabama High School Athletic Association Coach of the Year and was also selected as the Schutt Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. He first led the Lions to the Class 6A state playoffs in 2000, his second season guiding the program. Clark earned his first postseason victory a year later, helping Prattville advance to the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual state champion, which is where the Lions’ season would end each of the next two falls. Prattville made its first state championship game appearance under Clark in 2004, with the team allowing three touchdowns in four postseason contests, including a pair of shutouts. The Lions advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2005 playoffs before dropping a two-point decision. Clark posted a 107-11 (90.7 percent) overall record during his tenure, suffering his last regular-season loss during the second week of the 2002 season.
The Blazers also experienced the country’s second-highest increase in home attendance average, growing by more than 130 percent. Prior to UAB, Clark was the head coach at Jacksonville State in 2013 and led the Gamecocks to an 11-4 record, their most victories since the 1992 campaign when JSU won the NCAA Division II National Championship. That number set an Ohio Valley Conference record and was also the most wins by a first-year head coach.
Clark served on the staff of the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic three times, including as head coach in the summer of 2007. He also served as head coach in the 2004 North-South All-Star Game. Clark began his coaching career as an assistant at Piedmont High School (1990-91) and also has coaching stints at Tuscaloosa County High School (1992-94), Coffee County (Ga.) High School (1995-96) and Dothan High School (1997-98).
Jacksonville State earned an at-large berth in the FCS Playoffs and captured two victories -- including a second-round win over No. 6 McNeese State to reach the quarterfinals. The wins were the
He graduated from Jacksonville State in 1990 with a degree in physical education. Clark and his wife, Jennifer, have two children: daughter, Katie and son Jacob. Jacob is a long snapper for the Blazers.

BLAZER BITES •
Not only did the city of Birmingham rally to bring the program back, but they helped set a new program record for attendance as 45,212 fans witnessed UAB’s return to the football field at Legion Field vs. Alabama A&M on Sept. 2. The Blazers defeated the Bulldogs 38-7.

OFFENSIVE NOTES ERDELY EFFICIENT IN OPENER In his first collegiate start, quarterback A.J. Erdely accounted for three touchdowns as he threw for two and rushed for another. He completed 11-of-20 passes for 152 yards. Erdely appeared in five games at Middle Tennessee in 2014 but never made a start until last week vs. Alabama A&M in a Blazer uniform.
STEPHENS EMERGES AT RUNNING BACK Entering the Alabama A&M game with his name not even on the 2-deep, when all was said and done, redshirt freshman running back Carlos Stephen finished as the team’s leading rusher with 76 yards on 15 carries (5.1 YPC). Starting running back James Noble III pitched in with 74 yards on 13 carries (5.7 YPC), as the Blazers compiled 259 yards on the ground overall.
31 UNANSWERED With the game tied 7-7 late in the second quarter, Nick Vogel connected on a 45-yard field goal to give UAB a 10-7 halftime lead. That field goal jump-started 31 unanswered points as the Blazers outscored Alabama A&M 28-0 in the second half en route to a 38-7 victory.

DEFENSIVE NOTES BEHIND THE LINE UAB was dominant on defense in the season opener vs. Alabama A&M, allowing just 183 yards of total offense. The Blazers lived in the backfield as they tallied 12 TFL, led by Tevin Crews who had four. The seven points allowed were the least amount of points allowed since 2012 in a 52-3 victory vs. Southeastern Louisiana. UAB enters Week 2 as the Conference USA leader in total defense.
RUSH-ing TO THE END ZONE The defensive highlight of the game vs. Alabama A&M came midway through the third quarter with UAB leading 17-7. Defensive tackle Anthony Rush, standing at 6-foot-5, 340 lbs, deflected Aqeel Glass’ pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown to put the game out-of-reach at 24-7. His play garnered national attention as No. 6 on ESPN’s Top-10 as well as @ESPNCFB and @SI tweeting the play.
TEVIN’S BIG DAY Tevin Crews began his super senior year in style by recording a team-high seven tackles, three of which were for a loss. He also contributed one sack. Crews has been with the program since 2012 and is a team captain.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — UAB needed a half to shake off more than 1,000 days of rust before pulling away from Alabama A&M 38-7 on Saturday in the Blazers’ first game following a two-season hiatus. A.J. Erdely threw two touchdown passes and ran in another as the Blazers (1-0) scored 28 unanswered points in the second half against the FCS Bulldogs (0-1). School officials shut down the UAB program at the end of the 2014 season for financial reasons, but it was reinstated six months later after a fundraising effort generated what eventually became more than $44 million in contributions. The Blazers then sat out the 2015 and 2016 seasons in order to rebuild their roster. The Blazers were greeted Saturday by an announced crowd of 45,212, the largest in program history. UAB often played in front of home crowds of less than 10,000 before the temporary shutdown. And there was a true game-day atmosphere outside Legion Field in the hours before kickoff, something the program lacked while going through nine consecutive losing seasons. “The whole day was very special,” UAB coach Bill Clark said. “There were so many people who worked so hard to make this happen for us and our program. The crowd and the excitement and the energy, and all the work that went into making this happen, was special. “Then for our guys to respond the right way, it’s what we needed. It has been tough for these guys to practice and practice without playing a game.” Linebacker Tevin Crews, who led UAB with six tackles, is one of 15 players on this year’s team who are holdovers from 2014. He admits being caught up in the emotion of the moment when he ran onto the field before the game and saw the size of the crowd. “It went from there being nothing for six months, to now here we are with 45,000 people in the stands. It means a lot,” Crews said. “I just want to thank this community for stepping up and standing behind us and believing in this university. Now we just want to keep it going and deliver for them.” The Blazers broke the game open midway through the third quarter on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Erdely to Sederian Copeland, followed less than a minute later by a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown by Anthony Rush. The only score for Alabama A&M came on a 46-yard pass from Aqeel Glass to Rod Randolph.
