The Arkansas Razorbacks (1-1) host the UAB Blazers (1-1) on Saturday Afternoon. The Razorbacks are coming off a 39-31 loss versus Oklahoma State in a game that needed two overtime periods to be decided.
The Blazers were blown out by UL-Monroe last week, 32-6, in Louisiana. UAB turned the ball over three times in an ugly loss, and they’ll look to bounce back on Saturday against a Power Five conference school.
Will the Blazers pull off a miracle, or will the Razorbacks take care of business at home?

Key Stats
Arkansas
The Razorbacks are the second in the nation in total yards, with 667.5 through two games. QB Taylen Green has thrown for 645 yards and three TDs, and he’s an effective 42/68 so far.
Running back Ja’Quinden Jackson has accumulated 250 yards and five TDs already on just 32 attempts, which is good for an average of 7.8 yards per carry. Green’s favorite target has been receiver Andrew Armstrong, who comes in with 164 yards and ten receptions.
Defensively, Arkansas has been solid so far, as their opponents are averaging just 1.3 yards per carry this season. They did allow 39 points to Oklahoma State, as their defense imploded late, allowing 26 points in the 4th quarter and OT.
UAB
The visiting Blazers lean more on the run, averaging 44 rush attempts to just 32 pass attempts, but last week, the offense was completely useless. They managed just six points, while QB Jacob Zeno threw for 167 yards, and the team combined for 92 yards on the ground. Running back Beebe Jr. has stood out so far, totaling 144 yards on 29 attempts.
Zeno has been accurate, coming in with a 70.3% completion rate, but he has thrown two picks already, and he’s averaging just 6.0 yards per pass attempt. He’s linked up with Kameron Shanks ten times already, as the Blazers’ top receiver comes in with a team-high 116 yards.
On defense, UAB has limited opponents’ aerial attack, allowing only 73.5 passing yards on average, but their run defense is giving up 163 yards per game thus far.
Prediction
Both schools are looking to bounce back here, and I expect Arkansas to make a statement here after a tough loss to Oklahoma State. Not only should they win, but look for the Razorbacks to dominate the Blazers, enough to cover this big spread.
Final Pick
Arkansas -24.5 (-105)
