UAB at Texas-San Antonio

UAB has excellent balance on an offense averaging 31.2 points and 24th in the nation in total yards (448.2). QB Jacob Zeno (12 TDs, 5 INTs) threw for 353 yards in a 56-35 rout of South Florida last week while RB Jermaine Brown Jr. (270 yards, 4.7 ypc) keeps defenses guessing. UAB is on an 81-57 ATS run in the first half of the season and 34-14 ATS after playing back-to-back non-conference games. Texas-San Antonio is 75th in points scored and 61st in total yards, while the defense has allowed 37, 45, and 34 points in the last three games. The defense is 79th on third down (40.48%). Texas-San Antonio is on a 6-11 spread run and is 2-11 ATS after a two-game road trip, plus 3-14 ATS at home after allowing 100 or fewer rushing yards in the last game. These teams played a double-overtime thriller last year and the matchup suggests that this one should also be very close. Play UAB.
