College football game between the UAB Blazers and the South Florida Bulls at Raymond James Stadium.
The South Florida Bulls host the UAB Blazers at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, October 31, 2026. It's a matchup that puts two quarterbacks center stage: UAB's Ryder Burton (#5) and South Florida's Michael Van Buren Jr. (#3).
Coming into this one, the Bulls have a passing game that's hard to pin down. They've thrown zero passing interceptions in NCAA Division I—the fewest in the NCAAFB—so they're taking care of the ball. At the same time, they've recorded only one passing touchdown at home, also the fewest in the country. It's a strange combination: they aren't turning it over, but they aren't finding the end zone through the air much either.
UAB brings their own set of numbers to the table. Their red-zone completion rate sits at 23.1%, the third lowest in the NCAAFB, which means they've struggled to convert when they get close to the goal line. That's where the game could swing—whether the Blazers can find a way to finish drives or if the Bulls' defense holds firm inside the twenty.
