Super Bowl Update

You can read today's story from me by just scrolling down one blog post.

From the Birmingham News/al.com, HERE is a story on how UAB must pressure Troy QB Corey Robinson to have a chance. Remember, Robinson threw for 404 yards in the last meeting at Legion Field in only his third college game.

Some Thurday practice notes on UAB and what it may do with its quarterback system. Jonathan Perry, a junior who is a returning starter, was listed on the depth chart with OR by his name at QB with redshirt freshman Austin Brown.

Troy had one of its better defensive games last year against UAB with Perry at quarterback. Two years ago, Troy started out dominating on defense with UAB starting QB David Isabelle in the game, but then backup Bryan Ellis came in and Troy's defense couldn't adjust to the difference in passers and Ellis looked like a mini-Tom Brady, throwing for some 360 yards in basically three quarters. Not sure how similar or different these two quarterbacks are.

For BlazerTV.com, I filmed a podcast with them on Sunday. You can go HERE for the show, and my part is around the 22-minute mark.

South Alabama had to move its scheduled Thursday night game against Texas-San Antonio to Saturday afternoon because of Hurricane Isaac.

Last but certainly not least, Troy football sideline reporter Chris Blackshear took a convincing win in the race for Phenix City Councilman.
