BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - UAB didn't lack for motivation as it faced Mississippi State last Saturday. The Blazers were taking on an SEC opponent on its field with the thought of silencing the chorus of cowbells that rang every time the Bulldogs made a play.
This week, coach Bill Clark's team will be back in the friendly confines of Legion Field, hosting Alabama A&M. And, the coach and players said, the approach can be no different.
"We're going to treat them like any other opponent," junior right guard Cameron Blankenship said. "We're going to perform just like we always do. We don't take any opponent lightly."
That said, the offensive lineman said the Blazers are going to have to create some of their own fire against a team of FCS Bulldogs that doesn't generate the fan excitement of the one they faced last week in Mississippi.
