In the final game of the year for both of these rivals, the Tigers play the Blazers at Legion Field. UAB players think they can pull off the upset here, because Memphis may have suffered a letdown after their loss to Southern Miss last week - a loss which may have cost them a bowl.

Memphis runs a high-octane passing attack. Their QB has thrown 33 TD passes - 5th in the nation. Meanwhile, their run attack has been nonexistant. This normally fares well for UAB's defense, but the secondary has been inconsistent since the Dennis Kennedy injury.

UAB would love nothing more than to end the year on a positive note for their seniors. But we don't see a pretty game here. Our prediction: Memphis 45, UAB 17.
