The Blazers returns quarterback Tyler Johnston and wide receiver Trea Shropshire. UAB returns 17 starters from last year’s championship team, including 11 who utilized their extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19.
UAB coach Bill Clark faces his alma mater and former team. Clark, a 1990 graduate of JSU, guided the Gamecocks to an 11-4 record in his one season as the JSU coach in 2013.
When is the UAB-Jacksonville State game?
The Week 1 game between UAB and Jacksonville State is set for 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, September 1.
The Miami Hurricanes are starting 2021 with perhaps the toughest task of opening weekend — facing the defending national champions, No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide.
The 'Canes, who finished 2020 with an 8-3 record, haven't faced Alabama since the 1993 Sugar Bowl, which decided the national champion for the 1992 season. The Crimson Tide won that game 34-13.
Alabama is the preseason favorite, but they have a lot of new players in key positions, including quarterback Bryce Young. Miami, USA Today's preseason No. 20, is returning 19 of 22 starters and has one of the most experienced QBs in D'Eriq King. The sixth-year senior transferred to the Hurricanes from the University of Houston before the 2020 season and has 33 total career starts. Though King suffered a knee injury in Miami's loss to Oklahoma State in the Cheez-It Bowl to end last season, he and the rest of Manny Diaz's team are ready for the challenge of Nick Saban and Alabama's ever rolling tide.
