UAB missed out on scoring opportunities while coughing up the ball four times in its 45-21 loss to Memphis.
With its starting quarterback on the bench and an immaculate set of bronzed ribs on the line, the UAB football team was not in the business of settling for field goals.
It was not the first missed opportunity, or the last, as the Blazers fell victim to its own tomfoolery in a 45-21 loss to Memphis in the renewal of the “Battle for the Bones,” Saturday, Oct. 21, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham. UAB starting quarterback Jacob Zeno suffered a concussion late in the loss at UTSA and cleared protocol before kickoff -- even going through warmups before Dilfer ultimately decided to keep his primary signal-caller out of the game.
Barker, who received his first career start, was 5-of-10 for 58 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown pass to Tejhaun Palmer and a pick-six off a tipped ball, and added 37 yards on the ground. Lyddy finished 6-for-9 passing for 68 yards, a touchdown and a pair of interceptions, and Campbell was 4-of-9 for 47 yards while rushing for 38 yards.
“We made a decision at the beginning of the season to be hyper-aggressive with this team,” Dilfer said. “I’m not completely beholden to the metrics, the data, but I’m leaning heavily on it, especially with this team, knowing that we have to try to steal possessions and protect our defense. We needed to be ahead by 7-14 points in the first half to have a chance in this ballgame.”
