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.

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.

MUNCIE, Ind. – Quarterback A.J. Erdely rushed for three touchdowns and freshman running back Spencer Brown had 151 yards on the ground, but the UAB football team fell to Ball State 51-31 on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium. Erdely set career bests in rushing touchdowns, rushing yards (77), passing yards (168) and completions (15). The Cumming, Ga., native is now the first quarterback to rush for three scores in a game since Joe Webb scored three times at Tulane on November 15, 2008. Brown also had a career day, becoming the Blazers’ first rusher to eclipse the 100-yard mark this season with 151 total yards against the Cardinals. Brown had 42 yard in the season opener vs. Alabama A&M.
“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.
UAB outgained Ball State 504-377 and had 336 yards rushing. UAB now leads Conference USA and ranks 12th nationally in rushing rushing yards per game (297.5).
“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.”
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Tevin Crews made his presence known on the field, recording a career-best 15 tackles in the game. His previous career high was 10 tackles against Louisiana Tech in 2014.
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.
The Blazers held steady with the Cardinals throughout the first half thanks to two of Erdely’s three rushing scores, trailing 21-17 at the break.
“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.

UAB got a score back courtesy of a Sederian Copeland seven-yard scamper which cut the lead to 51-31 with 1:47 remaining but it was not enough as the Cardinals held on to secure their first victory of the season. The Blazers return to action on September 16 when the team hosts Coastal Carolina at historic Legion Field.
The only score for Alabama A&M came on a 46-yard pass from Aqeel Glass to Rod Randolph.
However, Ball State went on to outscore UAB 17-7 in the third quarter, including a 93-yard kickoff return by the Cardinals’ Malik Dunner, to all but ice the game for the home team.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Four rushing touchdowns and three interceptions propelled the UAB football team to its second win of the season as the Blazers defeated Coastal Carolina 30-23 on Saturday at Legion Field. The defense played a big role in securing the team’s second win of the season, holding Coastal Carolina to a season-low 23 points. The defensive effort was paced by Broderick Thomas who recorded a teamhigh nine tackles. Fellow defensive back Darious Williams also had a big day, accounting for eight total tackles and a career-best three tackles for loss. Tevin Crews, Fitzgerald Mofor and Mar’Sean Diggs each recorded an interception in the victory, marking the first time a Blazer defense posted three interceptions since Sept. 13, 2014 against Alabama A&M. Offensively, the Blazers were once again propelled by their running game as three separate rushers found the end zone. Quarterback A.J. Erdely ran for 38 yards and scored his Conference USA-leading fifth rushing touchdown. Erdely is now tied with Thomas Cox and Rodney Hudson for the fifth-most single-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in school history. Freshman running back Spencer Brown added two touchdowns on 16 carries for 51 yards, while fellow rusher Carlos Stephens recorded his first rushing touchdown as a Blazer to compliment 44 yards on the day. Andre Wilson led all receivers with three receptions for 43 yards. UAB compiled 274 yards of total offense with 169 of those coming on the ground. Coastal Carolina had 327 yards of offense, but the UAB defense tallied nine tackles for loss and had six pass breakups. The Chanticleers were led by Osharmar Abercrombie who rushed for 75 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. UAB returns to action next Saturday, Sept. 23, as the Blazers head to Denton, Texas, to take on the North Texas Mean Green. Kickoff is slated for 5:30 p.m. CST on beIN.

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.

OFFENSIVE NOTES GROUND GAME The UAB rushing attack has been clicking in the early going as the Blazers lead C-USA in rushing offense and rank 16th nationally in that category. UAB went for a season-high 336 rushing yards at Ball State, and has had no less than 169 yards on the ground in a game this season. The Blazers’ 10 rushing touchdowns also leads C-USA. Team 1. UAB 2. North Texas 3. FAU
BROWN BUSTS OUT Freshman Spencer Brown ran for 151 yards on 17 carries at Ball State (8.9 YPC). It was the fifth most yards by a freshman in a single game in program history. The Birmingham native is averaging 6.1 per carry and ranks fifth in Conference USA with an average of 81.3 yards per game.

Almost as impressive is that Brown has only been stopped behind the line of scrimmage once this season for loss of one yard. He has gained 245 total yards and has a net of 244 yards. Brown’s weight room heroics were well documented throughout the summer as the freshman came in and impressed right away with a max squat of over 600 lbs.

@UAB_FB
DEFENSIVE NOTES BEHIND THE LINE The UAB defense has been very disruptive through the first three games and ranks 10th nationally in tackles for loss (26 total, 8.7 per game). In the season opener vs. Alabama A&M, the Blazers tallied 12 TFL and have had no fewer than five in every game this year. UAB is sharing the wealth as well with 13 players having a TFL this season.
NO FLY ZONE The Blazer defense is tied for the most interceptions in the league with four. UAB picked off Coastal Carolina three times with one each by Fitzgerald Mofor, Mar’Sean Diggs and Tevin Crews. It was the first career interception for all three of those players.

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.

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.

MUNCIE, Ind. – Quarterback A.J. Erdely rushed for three touchdowns and freshman running back Spencer Brown had 151 yards on the ground, but the UAB football team fell to Ball State 51-31 on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium. Erdely set career bests in rushing touchdowns, rushing yards (77), passing yards (168) and completions (15). The Cumming, Ga., native is now the first quarterback to rush for three scores in a game since Joe Webb scored three times at Tulane on November 15, 2008. Brown also had a career day, becoming the Blazers’ first rusher to eclipse the 100-yard mark this season with 151 total yards against the Cardinals. Brown had 42 yard in the season opener vs. Alabama A&M.
“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.
UAB outgained Ball State 504-377 and had 336 yards rushing. UAB now leads Conference USA and ranks 12th nationally in rushing rushing yards per game (297.5).
“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.”
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Tevin Crews made his presence known on the field, recording a career-best 15 tackles in the game. His previous career high was 10 tackles against Louisiana Tech in 2014.
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.
The Blazers held steady with the Cardinals throughout the first half thanks to two of Erdely’s three rushing scores, trailing 21-17 at the break.
“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.

UAB got a score back courtesy of a Sederian Copeland seven-yard scamper which cut the lead to 51-31 with 1:47 remaining but it was not enough as the Cardinals held on to secure their first victory of the season. The Blazers return to action on September 16 when the team hosts Coastal Carolina at historic Legion Field.
The only score for Alabama A&M came on a 46-yard pass from Aqeel Glass to Rod Randolph.
However, Ball State went on to outscore UAB 17-7 in the third quarter, including a 93-yard kickoff return by the Cardinals’ Malik Dunner, to all but ice the game for the home team.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Four rushing touchdowns and three interceptions propelled the UAB football team to its second win of the season as the Blazers defeated Coastal Carolina 30-23 on Saturday at Legion Field. The defense played a big role in securing the team’s second win of the season, holding Coastal Carolina to a season-low 23 points. The defensive effort was paced by Broderick Thomas who recorded a teamhigh nine tackles. Fellow defensive back Darious Williams also had a big day, accounting for eight total tackles and a career-best three tackles for loss. Tevin Crews, Fitzgerald Mofor and Mar’Sean Diggs each recorded an interception in the victory, marking the first time a Blazer defense posted three interceptions since Sept. 13, 2014 against Alabama A&M. Offensively, the Blazers were once again propelled by their running game as three separate rushers found the end zone. Quarterback A.J. Erdely ran for 38 yards and scored his Conference USA-leading fifth rushing touchdown. Erdely is now tied with Thomas Cox and Rodney Hudson for the fifth-most single-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in school history. Freshman running back Spencer Brown added two touchdowns on 16 carries for 51 yards, while fellow rusher Carlos Stephens recorded his first rushing touchdown as a Blazer to compliment 44 yards on the day. Andre Wilson led all receivers with three receptions for 43 yards. UAB compiled 274 yards of total offense with 169 of those coming on the ground. Coastal Carolina had 327 yards of offense, but the UAB defense tallied nine tackles for loss and had six pass breakups. The Chanticleers were led by Osharmar Abercrombie who rushed for 75 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. UAB returns to action next Saturday, Sept. 23, as the Blazers head to Denton, Texas, to take on the North Texas Mean Green. Kickoff is slated for 5:30 p.m. CST on beIN.
