Topic: CSJ 2020 Conference USA Championship Game Preview — UAB at Marshall

[Big City]

Two teams that have rarely met recently will vie for the Conference USA championship game in this unique 2020 COVID-19 filled season this Friday.

Marshall hosts UAB in this game by virtue of its better conference record. These two schools have not played each other since 2014 surprisingly. UAB did have a two year absence and the two teams and with UAB’s return three years ago to football, the divisional cross-overs have yet to yield a scheduled game.

Marshall holds a 8-2 record advantage in the history between the two teams and the Thundering Herd defeated the Blazers in the most recent 2014 game, 23-18–a game played in Birmingham. Marshall also won the most recent game played in Huntington played in 2013, 56-14.

Both teams most recently played Rice in conference play with UAB edging the Owls last week 21-16, while Marshall suffered its first loss of the season to Rice two weeks ago, 20-0.
