And business is good.
The Blazers (5-3, 3-1 C-USA) clinched its third consecutive Conference USA western division title with a 21-16 win over the Rice Owls, Saturday, Dec. 12, at Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas.
UAB was down Spencer Brown and DeWayne McBride, due to COVID-19 tests and contact tracing, but had a solid showing in the run game with a by-committee approach that accounted for 137 yards. Larry Wooden got the first start of his career and finished with 11 attempts for 33 yards, Jermaine Brown Jr. had nine carries for 33 yards and Lucious Stanley had seven attempts for 30 yards and a touchdown.

HOUSTON (AP) Tyler Johnston III passed for 217 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and UAB beat Rice 21-16 on Saturday to claim the Conference USA West Division for the third consecutive season.
UAB (5-3) will face Marshall for the conference championship. The Thundering Herd had their game canceled this week against Charlotte.
UAB scored on its first two possessions of the second half - in just seven plays. Myron Mitchell got behind the defense on UAB’s first play after halftime for a 63-yard score. Samario Rudolph caught another long pass in traffic along the left side and he dove into the end zone for a 21-13 lead.
