The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has been an autonomous member of the University of Alabama system since 1969, and has had an intercollegiate athletic program since 1977. UAB is sometimes confused with the University of Alabama (Crimson Tide), which is located in Tuscaloosa; while this is inevitable, it is important to note that the two are indeed separate institutions. In addition, the UAB name is often altered by various media, opponents, merchandisers, etc. Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name, the acronym “UAB,” or the full “University of Alabama at Birmingham.” In addition, the Associated Press sports stylebook now uses UAB on first reference, not Alabama-Birmingham. We are not: Alabama-Birmingham, Ala.-Birmingham, or U.A.B.

2012 FOOTBALL Media Information Note To The Media The 2012 UAB Football Media Guide has been assembled in an effort to assist you in your coverage of the Blazers this fall and throughout the year. We have tried to anticipate many of your questions and hope the answers can easily be found on the following pages. However, if you have additional questions or needs, please do not hesitate to contact the UAB Athletics Media Relations Office (205/9340722). We appreciate your interest in UAB football and look forward to working with you throughout the year. We have certain policies and procedures that we ask you to abide by. These policies and procedures are designed to take your needs as well as the needs of our studentathletes and coaches into consideration and create a good working situation for all. Coach Interviews All requests for interviews with head coach Garrick McGee and his staff should be made through the Athletics Media Relations Office. Please contact Associate AD for Media Relations Norm Reilly to make the necessary arrangements. Coach McGee is generally available for a few minutes at the weekly Monday media luncheons and after Thursday’s practices. Player Interviews Interviews with our student-athletes are encouraged. All player interviews, without exception, must be arranged through the Media Relations Office. This policy is intended to ensure that all requests are filled, as well to ensure that interviews are conducted at the best time for both the media representative and the player. Players are usually available after practice, depending upon class schedules. During game weeks, no player interviews will be allowed after Wednesday. Telephone interviews may also be arranged. Every effort will be made to arrange telephone interviews, but player telephone numbers will not be given out. Studentathletes are instructed not to participate in telephone interviews unless they are arranged through the Athletics Media Relations Office. Media must go through media relations to arrange interviews. Football Practices On most days during the season,
UAB football practices are open to the media only for warmups and the first four periods. Media may return to the practice field to conduct post-practice interviews. During the regular season, offensive coaches and offensive players will be available following Tuesday practices. Defensive assistant coaches and defensive players will be available following Wednesday practice sessions.

and the end zones; no photography - still or video - is allowed in the team areas of either sideline. Photographers who enter the team area are subject to forfeiture of credentials. Failure to comply with established photography guidelines may result in forfeiture of credentials for that game and jeopardize future credential privileges. Sideline Security In an effort to ensure the best possible working conditions, security personnel will be patrolling the sidelines. Only persons holding a valid field or sideline pass will be allowed admittance to the playing field. Anyone holding a media credential who is not actively involved in the coverage of the game will be escorted from the sideline. Similar procedures will be in effect in
the press box. Media credentials will be issued to working media members only; credentials are not transferable, and any unauthorized use will result in revocation of credentials and will jeopardize future access to UAB events. UAB Radio Broadcasts of UAB football games will be carried by the UAB IMG Sports Network throughout Alabama and Georgia. Visiting schools or stations wishing to originate broadcasts from Legion Field must secure written permission from UAB and IMG.
Interviews with visiting coaches and players should be arranged through the visiting team’s sports information director. Out-Of-Town Media Members of the media who cannot attend the weekly news conference on campus should contact the media relations office for interviews with UAB players and coaches.

All such requests should be made as early as possible to UAB Associate AD Norm Reilly.
Postgame Interviews Coach Garrick McGee’s postgame interviews will be conducted in the meeting room adjacent to the locker room.

2012 FOOTBALL Conference USA
F
rom its beginning in 1994, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. As we enter the 2012-13 season, C-USA is home to 12 nationally prominent, tradition-rich members in East Carolina, Houston, Marshall, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, UCF and UTEP. This combination enhances men’s and women’s programs that are immersed in athletic success and academic prowess. Together, we are committed to excellence, integrity and leadership in athletics, academics and in our communities. These C-USA institutions all sponsor Division I-A football, along with several other men’s and women’s athletic programs that compete regularly for NCAA Championships. C-USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport. Success On The Playing Field Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

AB’s Sports Enhancement can now boast of having one of the finest facilities around for the staff and student-athletes. The center opened in January of 2008 and houses a 10,000 square-foot weight room that features more than 40,000 pounds of free weights. Director of Sports Enhancement Dwayne Chandler and his staff work with members of the Blazer football team to develop training programs and enhance each athlete’s performance. Chandler, who has over 10 years of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels as a strength and conditioning coach, was hired in January of 2012. Chandler came to UAB from his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, where he
served as an assistant on the staff since 2009. He spent two years as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Denver Broncos (2007-08). While there, Chandler worked with such standout performers as Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and Champ Bailey. Prior to joining the staff in Denver, Chandler was on the staff at the University of Minnesota, joining the Golden Gophers as a strength and conditioning assistant and speed coach in 2001 before being named co-head strength and conditioning coach in 2003. In 2004, Chandler was named the head strength and conditioning coach at Minnesota where he served until 2006. During his time with the Gophers, Chandler instructed 12 players who were selected
in the NFL Draft, including 2006 first-round draft choice Laurence Maroney and 2005 fourth-round selection Marion Barber III. Before going to Minnesota, Chandler spent a season with the Dallas Cowboys, serving as a strength and conditioning intern. Chandler and the Blazers spend a lot of their time in the bright and spacious weight room, which includes state-of-the-art equipment for weight training, stretching and conditioning workouts. Chandler and the staff use a variety of techniques to assist the Blazers in achieving maximum performance and potential. With a heavy emphasis on Olympic style weightlifting, the program concentrates on speed, power, and strength.

he state-of-the-art, $25 million Campus Recreation Center has covered all the bases. It boasts 18,000 square feet of weight and fitness space outfitted with all-new equiptment and a one-eighth-mile oval running track that juts out of the building, curving toward University Boulevard and 15th Street South to provide panoramic views of the campus. And just to make sure no one gets bored, planners added a five-story, rock-climbing wall. The facility features four basketball courts, five racquetball courts, one of which converts to a squash court and a multi-purpose court that can be used for indoor soccer, volleyball, floor hockey or badminton. There are also four aerobic rooms and a swimming pool with four lap lanes and leisure and physical rehabilitation areas. The handicap-accessible pool has many special features. A continuous current in the “lazy river” carries swimmers around the outer edge of the pool in inner tubes – the ride ends under a waterfall – or individuals can walk against the flow as a part of a physical rehabilitation program. For more intense resistance training, center members can use the “vortex,” a circular area within
the pool with forceful water jets. One of the four aerobics rooms is dedicated to spinning; the others host Pilates, general aerobics, yoga, step, and kickboxing classes along with other specialty offerings. The facility also includes the Kids Zone, a supervised area – equipped with toys, books, and movies – where parents can drop off children while they work out.
The center also has a juice bar, wireless internet access, and an Outdoor Pursuits Center that rents camping gear and leads backpacking, rafting, and skiing trips to desitnations around the United States. The first floor houses a wellness center that coordinates with UAB groups to offer nutritional counseling, body-fat measurements, personal training, and general fitness assessments.

Birmingham The Magic City
The statue of Vulcan — Roman God of Fire and Iron — is the symbol of the city of Birmingham.
W
ith a population of more than 230,000 (more than one million in the metropolitan area), Birmingham has a strong, diverse, service-oriented economy and is recognized as a Southeast leader. Founded shortly after the Civil War, Birmingham rapidly became known as “The Magic City” because of its phenomenal rate of industrial growth in its beginning. Its mountainous strata and forest surrounding the city are rich with ore
deposits, and it was that natural wealth that quickly transformed young Birmingham into a bustling steel metropolis. Today, Birmingham continues to earn the distinction, “The Magic City,” but this tribute is due to the city’s economic competitiveness, technological advancements and quality of life — offerings which are sought after by professionals with an eye toward the future. Birmingham has been recognized as one of America’s “Most Livable Cities” by the U.S. Conference of Mayors — as recently as 1993. Birmingham’s strategic location and diverse economy position the city as one of tremendous opportunity and growth. Centrally located and the largest municipality in Alabama, the city is home to a number of renowned individuals who have made an impression on the nation and the world in music and entertainment, education, medicine and sports, to name a few. There is never a lack of cultural entertainment in “The Magic City”. Dozens of neighborhood and city-wide festivals, museums, parks, sports competitions and much more provide unlimited activity and amusement. Residents and visitors to Birmingham enjoy the city’s recreational and historical attractions such as the Birmingham Zoo, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Vulcan Park, Sloss Furnaces, Southern Museum of Flight and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.
Sports enthusiasts will never be at a loss for activity at the heart of the “Football Capital of the South.” UAB plays all of its home football games at historic Legion Field, which also was the site of preliminary round soccer matches at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Professional athletic teams in the area include the Class-AA Birmingham Barons (baseball). Several annual fests are held in Birmingham. The biggest is City Stages, held each spring in the downtown City Center. City Stages attracts nearly a quarter of a million people for a three-day weekend of unlimited music. All of this and more makes Birmingham “The Magic City” to residents and visitors year-round.
The Birmingham Civil Rights Museum stands as a reminder of the past and a beacon of hope for the future.

2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook Excitement At A High As Blazers Begin New Era Under Coach Garrick McGee
E
ver since Garrick McGee was named the new head coach of the UAB football program last December, there’s been a newfound excitement surrounding the Blazers. There is much anticipation as the start of the 2012 season awaits McGee and his team. Nevermind that the Blazers are replacing seven starters on defense and four starting linemen on the offensive side. McGee and his coaching staff are counting on the enthusiasm that was seen and the momentum that was built on the practice field during spring drills to carry over to the fall. This may be McGee’s first head coaching job, but the former Oklahoma quarterback has earned respect and high praise after playing a large role in the juggernaut of an offense that Arkansas has put on the field the past four seasons. First as the Razorbacks’ quarterbacks coach for two seasons, and most recently, adding offensive coordinator duties to his responsibilities the last two, McGee has engineered one of the top offenses in college football. Arkansas ranked No. 13 in passing
offense last season, averaging 301 yards per game. A year earlier, the Razorbacks passed for an average of 334 yards each contest. More importantly, Arkansas converted those yards into points at a highoctane clip as the McGee-led offense averaged better than 36 points per game in each of the past two seasons. Combine McGee’s offensive expertise with a UAB offensive unit that returns virtually all of its skill personnel and one can see why Blazer fans are excited about what they hope to see on the field this fall. It took awhile last season for UAB’s offense to finally click, but once the Blazers hit their stride, they were a difficult bunch to slow down. In the final three games of the season, UAB’s offense lit up the scoreboard at 37 points per game and averaged nearly 470 yards on offense. Offense There is no doubt the biggest questions looming for the Blazers on offense as they begin the 2012 season concern how quickly the line can progress. After all, UAB lost four of five starters up front, including firstU A B
B l a z e r s
team all-conference tackle and NFL draft pick Matt McCants. But while the line must perform for the Blazers to be successful, one can’t help by be impressed with the depth UAB returns in the backfield and at receiver. And quarterback Jonathan Perry (6-2, 210, Jr.) is back with eight starting assignments under his belt.
Quarterback Perry entered last season without any collegiate experience and expectations were that he might play only sparingly during the 2011 campaign. However, after injuries to Bryan Ellis ended the senior signal-caller’s season prematurely, Perry entered the picture and emerged rather quickly. Starting eight games, he finished the season with 2,042 passing yards as he hit 58 percent of his passes. Perry averaged 280 yards and tossed seven of the 10 touchdown passes he had on the season in the final three games alone. Against Memphis, he turned in one of the top passing performances in Blazer history as he passed for 410 yards and four touchdowns.
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook
Jonathan Perry is a dual threat quarterback who was thrust into action in 2011 due to injuries to Bryan Ellis. Perry made eight starts and passed for 2,042 yards. But Perry’s offensive skills are not only limited to the passing game. He’s also an adept and elusive running quarterback. Last season, the Baltimore, Md. native ran for 294 yards and three touchdowns. McGee and offensive coordinator/QBs coach Jeff Brohm have a history of developing quarterbacks and will only enhance what Perry brings to the table.
Who will back up Perry entering the season is another question. A pair of freshmen, one who sat out last season as a redshirt and the other who only enrolled in January, came out of spring practice as co-No. 2s at the position. Josh Greer (6-4, 215, Fr.) enrolled early at UAB and went through spring practice after finishing an outstanding career at Arlington (Texas) High School. Austin Brown (6-1, 208, R-Fr.), like Greer, will be looking for his first experience at the collegiate level. While inexperienced, both had their moments of success during the spring. U A B
B l a z e r s
Joe Bento (6-2, 210, Sr.) is also back and has seen limited action during his career while Mike Miller (6-2, 195, R-Fr.) also returns.
Running Back Going into the season, the running back position is perhaps the deepest on the roster for the Blazers. While UAB doesn’t have a back returning who surpassed 500 yards last season, the Blazers have four back in the fold who all could play large roles in 2012. Greg Franklin (5-11, 197, Jr.) is atop the depth chart entering fall camp and is also the
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook Blazers’ leading returning rusher after running for 430 yards and a pair of touchdowns last fall. Franklin, from Marietta, Ga., averaged 5.1 yards and recorded the team’s longest run from scrimmage (57 yards vs. Troy). The player with the least experience had one of the most impressive springs among the running backs. Bashr Coles (5-11, 212, R-Fr.) played in the first two games last season before an injury derailed his campaign, forcing a medical redshirt. Returning in the spring, Coles showed a physical style of running that has put him in contention for playing time in 2012. In the spring game, he averaged nine yards on seven carries. Dontavius Jackson (5-10, 214, Sr.) also suffered some injury setbacks last season and is hopeful he can remain healthy for his final year. Jackson, who transferred to UAB from Georgia prior to the 2010 season, played in seven contests last fall but his season ended with the October 29 game at Marshall. He finished with 83 yards on 20 carries. Jackson’s best game was the opener at Florida when he ran for 31 yards, including a 22-yard burst, on six attempts. Darrin Reaves (5-10, 210, So.), whose father was a member of UAB’s first football team in 1991, came on strong down the stretch last season as he ran for 343 of his 372 yards on the season in the final six contests. In the Blazers’ victory over Memphis, the then-freshman rushed for 73 yards on only eight carries. D’Andre Mostella (5-8, 188, Sr.), Tamar Mickens (5-10, 200, So.) and David Calloway (5-8, 195, Jr.) offer additional depth for the Blazers at running back.
Wide Receiver The wide receiver position is the most experienced on the roster for the Blazers. Six receivers on the depth chart entering fall camp have significant experience for the Blazers. Nick Adams (6-2, 205, Sr.), Patrick Hearn (6-1, 203, Sr.), Jackie Williams (5-11, 190, Sr.) and Jay Davis (6-1, 194, So.) have combined for 51 starts. Williams is the leading returning receiver for UAB with 58 catches for 607 yards last season and has registered at least one reception in all 23 games he has suited up for the Blazers. Williams’ 88 career catches in two seasons is already No. 9 on UAB’s all-time charts.
UAB has a deep corps of running backs heading into the 2012 season. The group includes (clockwise): junior Greg Franklin, redshirt freshman Bashr Coles, sophomore Darrin Reaves and senior Dontavius Jackson. U A B
B l a z e r s
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook Adams returned to the field last season after missing all of 2010 with an injury. He responded to the opportunity as he started all 12 games and had 29 catches for 390 yards (13.4 avg.) with one touchdown reception. Hearn caught 31 balls for 364 yards with two touchdown catches for the Blazers. He has 24 career starts at UAB in his first three seasons, including all 12 in 2011. Davis saw his first action in the Green and Gold last fall and finished the season with 18 receptions for 174 yards. Jamarcus Nelson (5-11, 160, So.) possesses sprinter speed and showed that on several occasions in 2011 when he made his collegiate debut. Nelson averaged more than 21 yards a catch as he recorded 17 receptions for 358 yards. His four touchdowns — a pair vs. Tulsa and Memphis — led the Blazers last fall. Nelson also registered UAB’s only two 100-yard receiving games last season as he notched 111 against Tulsa and a career-high 133 in the Blazers’ win at Memphis. D.J. Vinson (5-10, 194, So.) had 11 catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns in his redshirt season in 2011. Stephen Herring (6-1, 190, Jr.) and Rickey Hrabowskie (6-1, 187, Jr.) offer the Blazers additional depth at receiver.
Tight End The Blazers have several options at how they line up at tight end, depending on the offensive set and how the defense aligns itself. Kennard Backman (6-3, 258, So.) started eight games as a true freshman last season and finished with six catches for 43 yards. Backman has added nearly 30 pounds to his frame since last season. Nolen Smith (6-3, 205, Jr.) is much like having an additional receiver on the field when he lines up. He recorded 19 receptions for 273 yards with a pair of touchdowns in 2011. Smith also had a strong finish to the campaign last fall as 15 of his 19 catches came in the final six contests. Sam Accursio (6-1, 245, Sr.) is known for his blocking skills and has seen action primarily during his career as a blocking back and as a blocker on the punt team.
Offensive Line Eyes will definitely be on the Blazers’ offensive line as the 2012 campaign unfolds. UAB lost some key O-Line components from
last season as four starters (Matt McCants, Terence Edge, Caleb Thomas and Darion Smith) have departed. Chris Hubbard (6-4, 285, Sr.) is the lone returning starter and has 12 career starts the past two seasons. Hubbard could be a candidate for all-conference honors from his tackle position. The Blazers will be relatively inexperienced across the rest of the line, but the UAB coaches are anxious to see how the line develops. The offseason conditioning program has resulted in several of the Blazers’ linemen adding size and strength. U A B
B l a z e r s
Senior Chris Hubbard is the lone returning starter to the Blazers’ offensive line and will anchor the unit. Kaycee Ike (6-3, 258, So.), Wesley Carter (6-4, 280, R-Fr.), along with Albert Calloway (6-0, 285, So.), are the tackles on the depth chart coming out of spring practice. At guard, Brian O’Leary (6-2, 290, So.), Hayden Naumann (6-5, 280, R-Fr.), Cody Payne (6-6, 275, Sr.) and Uneik Crumbley (6-3, 327, R-Fr.) are expected to battle for playing time. O’Leary has the most offensive line experience of the four. Payne is
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook the upperclassmen in the group, but he was only moved to the offensive side of the ball last spring after duty on the defensive front to this point of his career. Payne did not see any action in 2011 after serving in a backup role on defense a season earlier. Defense Certainly one way for the Blazers to move up in the Conference USA race is to improve their performance on defense. UAB yielded nearly 37 points and 486 yards a game last season. Seven starters are gone from 2011, so it’s almost like starting anew on the defensive side, especially with the presence of a new coaching staff led by coordinator Reggie Johnson on defense. Several newcomers could also factor into the picture on defense this fall.
Defensive Line On the line, Diaheem Watkins (6-4, 258, So.) started every game at end and demonstrated a lot of potential after being thrust into action. Watkins finished the season with
31 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Connor Boyett (6-5, 267, Jr.) has started 19 games at defensive end in his first two seasons at UAB, but the product from Georgia was moved inside to tackle at the start of spring practice and is projected to start at one of the spots. He had 31 tackles last season as a sophomore with three tackles for loss. Chris Walton (6-3, 260, So.) is another young lineman for the Blazers on the defensive side. Walton will challenge for a starting job at end after seeing action in 10 games and recording 12 stops in 2011. Trey Grissett (6-5, 260, So.) also saw his first collegiate action last fall and finished with nine tackles. Deric Scott (6-3, 285, Jr.) and Micky Jackson (6-1, 320, So.) are expected to compete for a starting job at tackle. Scott started a pair of games last season and registered 17 tackles. Jackson played in 11 contests in 2011 and also had 17 stops on the season. Jewel Christian (6-2, 295, Jr.) could also contend for playing time at an inside spot after seeing his first collegiate action a year ago.
U A B
B l a z e r s
Linebacker No question, when talking about the UAB defense in 2012, the conversation has to start with senior linebacker Marvin Burdette (5-11, 230, Sr.). Burdette has been a force on the Blazer defensive side since his freshman season. He’ll enter the fall as one of the top tacklers of all-time at UAB (249 in his first three seasons). Burdette finished with 92 tackles last fall and also had 4.5 tackles for loss and a sack. Expect another big season from the Batesville, Miss. native. Greg Irvin (5-11, 218, Sr.) has made 17 starts in his career and is coming off a productive junior year when he ranked fourth on the team in tackles with 66 stops. Irvin also tied for first in the country in fumble recoveries with five with four of those coming in the same game (at East Carolina). Patrick Bastien (6-3, 227, Jr.) returned to action in 2011 after sitting out the 2010 season. He finished with 24 tackles and is Defensive end Diaheem Watkins became a starter in the preseason and was in the lineup for all 12 games in 2011.
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 Blazers Outlook expected to challenge for one of the starting jobs. There is some uncertainty as to who else will be in the mix at linebacker. Tevin Crews (6-2, 212, R-Fr.), Jesse Parrish (6-0, 220, Jr.) and Santonio Jones (5-11, 220, Sr.) all emerged on the depth chart in spring practice but none have seen collegiate action as of yet.
Secondary Along with the offensive line, the Blazers’ secondary will also have a lot of new faces in 2012. Jamie Bender led the team in tackles last season with 119 stops and earned second-team all-league honors but completed his eligibility last fall. Andre Hicks, T.J. Ballou, Terrell Springs and Chase Daniel also finished their UAB careers. A pair of cornerbacks who have seen a substantial amount of playing time do return for the Blazers this fall. Cornelius Richards (6-1, 179, Sr.) made 38 tackles in 2011 with three tackles for loss. Caleb Lester (5-10, 175, Jr.) made nine tackles in reserve duty at corner last season. He started a pair of games (vs. Tulane and Troy) during the campaign. A pair of redshirt freshmen — Dequindre Adams (5-10, 190, R-Fr.) and Darius Powell (5-10, 181, R-Fr.) — are expected to compete for playing time at cornerback as well. Powell was moved to the secondary from receiver last spring. At safety, Lamar Johnson (6-2, 205, Sr.) and Calvin Jones (5-10, 187, Jr.) will play larger roles in 2012 than they did a year ago. Jones played in 10 games last season (starting the opening game at Florida) and recorded 36 tackles while Johnson saw action in 11 contests. Cortez Webb (6-2, 189, Jr.) was an early enrollee for UAB last January and participated in spring practice. When spring drills concluded, the transfer from Butler County Community College was listed as the expected starter at free safety. Shalin Waterford (5-11, 190, R-Fr.) could also compete for playing time this fall. Special Teams The Blazers return one of the top kickers in the conference in Ty Long (6-2, 188, So.). Long made a successful debut in 2011 as a true freshman as he took over the placekicking duties. Recently named to the preseason
Watch List for the Lou Groza Award, Long converted 16-of-19 field goals last season. Long ranked second in the country among freshman kickers in field goals made per game and was third in percentage (84.2). UAB will have a new punter for the first time in four years as Trey Ragland finished his eligibility. Hunter Mullins (6-3, 195, So.) came out of the spring tapped as the starter and showed excellent promise during the drills. The Blazers also welcome back all of their return specialists. Jamarcus Nelson, Nick Adams, Jackie Williams and D.J. Vinson all have experience in the return game. Nelson, Adams and Vinson all registered 20 or more kickoff returns last season. Adams led the team in average per return (22.8) last U A B

Schedule The Blazers will play six home games in 2012, starting with a Sept. 1 contest at Legion Field against Troy. UAB also will play host to Tulsa, Southeastern Louisiana, East Carolina, Marshall and Memphis. As always, the Blazers will face a challenging non-conference schedule with SEC foe South Carolina and first-time opponent Ohio State on the slate the first month of the season.
2012 FOOTBALL 2012 UAB Notes with depth at running back as junior Greg Franklin is at the top of a quartet of talented backs. Bashr Coles, Dontavius Jackson and Darrin Reaves round out the group of running backs. Also returning for the Blazers are several receivers with experience, including seniors Nick Adams and Patrick Hearn, along with junior Jackie Williams who led the team in receptions (58) and receiving yards (607) last season. On the defensive side, the top returning Blazer is senior linebacker Marvin Burdette. Burdette tallied 92 tackles last season and will enter the coming campaign at No. 11 on UAB’s all-time tackle list.
Garrick McGee, a finalist for the 2011 Broyles Award, was announced as the fourth head coach in UAB history last December. McGee takes the helm of the Blazers’ program after spending the past four years at Arkansas. Blazers Begin New Era Under Garrick McGee A new era of UAB football began on Dec. 4, 2011 when Garrick McGee was named the fourth head coach in Blazers’ history. McGee assumed the helm of the UAB program after four years at Arkansas, including the past two as the Razorbacks’ offensive coordinator. The former Oklahoma quarterback directed an Arkansas offense that has been among the best in the country the past several seasons. In his first season as the offensive coordinator in 2010, the Razorbacks earned the school’s first BCS appearance in program history as the season culminated at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Last year, Arkansas again featured one
of the nation’s best offenses and ranked No. 1 in the SEC in total offense and passing offense. McGee was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2011, an award that goes to the nation’s top assistant coach. UAB Returns 11 Offensive And Defensive Starters UAB will return seven starters on offense and four on defense for the 2012 season. The Blazers also welcome back their kicker, as well as all of their return specialists, for the coming season. Quarterback Jonathan Perry started eight games last fall and will lead a UAB offense that averaged 37 points and 470 yards per game the final three contests of the season. The Blazers also will start the season U A B

Schedule Features Six Home Games, Road Trips To South Carolina And Ohio State For only the second time in the past six seasons, UAB will play six home games. The Blazers will open the 2012 campaign at home on Sept. 1 against in-state foe Troy. After an open date the second week of the season, UAB will face back-to-back road contests at South Carolina and Ohio State. This will be the third meeting between the Blazers and Gamecocks while the game against the Buckeyes of the Big Ten will be the first-ever between the two schools. UAB’s final non-conference game will be an Oct. 6 home matchup with Southeastern Louisiana. The Blazers will play their 2012 Conference USA opener on Sept. 29 when Tulsa visits Legion Field. The remaining home games will be against East Carolina, Marshall and Memphis.
Blazer Receiving Corps Has Plenty Of Experience One of the strengths of the 2012 Blazers is expected to be their group of wide receivers. UAB returns six receivers who saw extensive action last season. Here is a look at the Blazers’ receivers: Career Career Player Class Receptions Starts Nick Adams Sr. 44 15 Jay Davis So. 18 2 Patrick Hearn Sr. 68 24 Jamarcus Nelson So. 17 0 D.J.

2012 FOOTBALL 2012 UAB Notes Senior wide receiver Patrick Hearn is just one of several returning receivers for the Blazers who possesses an abundance of experience. Hearn has 24 starts in his three-year career.
He ran for a season-high 83 yards on a season-best 15 carries vs. UCF in October. Against Memphis Nov. 12, Reaves tallied 73 yards on only eight attempts for a 9.1 average. Reaves added 62 yards vs. Southern Miss a week later. He averaged 4.7 yards per attempt for the season.
22nd Season Of Football; 17th At I-A Level UAB has a young football program compared to most of its opposition. The Blazers went through their first intercollegiate season in 1991 as a member of NCAA Division III under head coach Jim Hilyer. The Blazers moved to Division I-AA two seasons later in 1993 and remained at that level three years before making the transition to Division I-A beginning in 1996. The 2012 season will represent the 22nd season of football for UAB. 19 Players Saw First-Time Action For Blazers In 2011 UAB had 19 players see their first action in a Blazer uniform in the season-opening game last season against Florida, including seven true freshmen.

2012 FOOTBALL Head Coach Garrick McGee In 2011, Arkansas paced the Southeastern Conference in total offense and ranked No. 29 in the NCAA at 438.1 yards per game. The Razorbacks also ranked first in the SEC and 13th nationally in passing offense (300.7 ypg) and were first in the league and 15th in the country in scoring offense (36.7 ppg). The Arkansas offense escalated to an unprecedented level after McGee became the offensive coordinator in 2010. The unit set 11 UA singleseason records in his first season, among those total yards (6,273), passing yards (4,338) and passing touchdowns (36). Arkansas h a d three

arrick McGee was named the head football coach at UAB on Dec. 4, 2011 after serving on the staff at the University of Arkansas for four years, including the past two seasons as the Razorbacks’ offensive coordinator. McGee, who was a finalist for the 2011 Broyles Award that is presented to the nation’s top assistant coach, is the fourth head coach in UAB history. McGee, a former Oklahoma quarterback, was a leading force behind Arkansas becoming one of the country’s most prolific offenses in recent years. In his first season as the offensive coordinator in 2010, the Razorbacks earned the school’s first BCS appearance in program history as the season culminated at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

offensive players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. Quarterback Ryan Mallet was chosen by the New England Patriots, tight end D.J. Williams was taken by the Green Bay Packers and offensive tackle DeMarcus Love was picked by the Minnesota Vikings. McGee was instrumental in the development of Mallett, who broke 45 Arkansas records in his two seasons and became just the third SEC quarterback to top 3,500 passing yards in back-to-back seasons and the fourth in conference history to eclipse 3,000 passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns in consecutive seasons. In 2010, Arkansas added a new element with a dynamic rushing attack to coincide with its potent passing game. For the first time in school history, the Razorbacks featured a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard rusher. Running back Knile Davis finished the season with 1,322 rushing yards, the fourth-highest single-season rushing total in program history, and was named to the AP’s All-SEC first team. Arkansas was the only school in the NCAA with a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and five 600yard receivers. Williams was named a finalist for the Sullivan Award, presented annually to the best amateur athlete in the U.S., and was a first-team All-SEC performer. Williams also won the Mackey Award as college football’s best tight end and the Disney Spirit Award, given to college football’s most inspirational player, team or figure, in 2010, becoming the first Razorback to collect either award. Before joining the staff at Arkansas, McGee spent four seasons (2004-07) at Northwestern University, where he was the receivers and punt return coach his first two seasons and the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator in 2006 and 2007. Directing the Wildcats’ spread offense, McGee’s 2007 unit led the Big Ten and was No. 11 in the nation in passing (307.9 yards per game) and led the Big Ten and was No. 31 in the country in total offense (427.7 yards per game). In 2005, his Northwestern receiving corps had three wideouts ranked in the top 10 on the Big Ten season receptions list for the first time in school history. The Wildcats became just the second team in Big Ten history to average more than 500 yards per game with 500.3 per contest, which ranked
2012 FOOTBALL Head Coach Garrick McGee fourth nationally. They also led the Big Ten and ranked seventh in the nation with 306.8 yards passing per game. His first season at Northwestern, Wildcat receivers averaged 237.3 yards per game, NU’s best since 2001. He coached two All-Big Ten receivers in Mark Philmore and Shaun Herbert. McGee was the receivers and kickoff return coach for head coach John Robinson at UNLV in 2003. In 2002, he was the receivers coach at Toledo, helping the Rockets earn a spot in the Motor City Bowl with a Mid-American Conference West Division title. Toledo was fifth in the nation in total offense with 472 yards per game, setting school records for total offense (6,752 yards) and passing yards (3,611). A native of Tulsa, Okla., McGee began his coaching career at Langston (Okla.) University where from 1996-98 he coached defensive backs before moving to quarterbacks, receivers and special teams. He was the receivers and kickoff return coach at Northern Iowa in 1999, helping UNI set school records for total offense (5,253 yards) and passing yards (3,722). In 2001 and 2002, he was an offensive assistant and quality control coach with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. He worked as an assistant to then-quarterbacks coach Bobby Petrino, helping quarterbacks and receivers with fundamentals and assisting in all phases of special teams.

2012 FOOTBALL Jeff Brohm Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks
J
eff Brohm is in his first season on the UAB staff and will serve as the Blazers’ offensive coordinator and coach the quarterbacks. Known for his development of signal callers, Brohm joined the UAB staff in January, 2012 after two seasons on the staff at Illinois. In his second year working with Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, Brohm guided the sophomore to improved numbers in passing yardage, completion percentage and passing efficiency in 2011. Scheelhaase’s 138.0 rating was the fourth-best season mark in Illini history. Brohm began molding Scheelhaase in 2010 and he quickly showed results, throwing 13 touchdowns and one interception over the last seven games of the season after throwing four touchdowns and seven interceptions in the first six games. Prior to going to Illinois, Brohm spent the 2009 season as the quarterbacks coach at Florida Atlantic, where he was reunited with his college coach, Howard Schnellenberger. While Brohm was at FAU, the Owls averaged 27.4 points per game, 279.7 yards passing per contest and 432.1 yards of total offense per game. Brohm served as the quarterbacks coach at Louisville from 2004-06, assistant head coach and passing game coordinator in 2007, and the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2008. Under Brohm’s direction, the Cardinals’ passing attack flourished, including a recordbreaking season in 2007 with Brohm’s brother, Brian, as quarterback. Brian Brohm threw for 4,024 yards and 30 touchdowns on his way to repeating second-team All-Big East accolades. In his first season as an assistant coach at Louisville, Jeff Brohm guided quarterback Stefan LeFors to a No. 1 national ranking in passing efficiency and completion percentage. A former Louisville standout himself, Brohm began his NFL career in 1994 with the San Diego Chargers, which played in Super Bowl XXIX during his rookie season.

R
eggie Johnson is in his first season at UAB after spending the past four years on the coaching staff at Arkansas. Johnson will serve as the Blazers’ defensive coordinator and
coach the linebackers. While with the Razorbacks, Johnson coached the inside linebackers each of his years in Fayetteville. Johnson coached one of the SEC’s top defensive players in Jerry Franklin, who led the Razorbacks in tackles four years in a row, a feat not accomplished at Arkansas since 1960. Franklin reached the 100-tackle mark in both 2010 and 2011, and his 101 stops in 2011 ranked sixth in the SEC and were the most by a Razorback since 2007. He added 10.0 tackles for loss his senior year. A Freshman All-American and SEC AllFreshman Team selection in his first season playing for Johnson, Franklin went on to earn second-team All-SEC honors in 2010. He ranked ninth in the SEC with nearly eight tackles per game and added one tackle for loss per game that year. Johnson was on head coach Bobby Petrino’s staff at Louisville from 2003-06 and remained on the Cardinals’ staff in 2007 before re-joining Petrino at Arkansas a year later. The Hollandale, Miss., native coached the Louisville defensive line in 2003. The defensive front included All-American Elvis Dumervil, who also won the Nagurski and Hendricks awards. It also featured Omobi Okoye, the teenage phenom defensive tackle who, at 19 years old, was the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft. In 2004, Johnson moved to the linebacker position on the Louisville staff and coached numerous Cardinals who went on to spend time in the NFL. Robert McCune led the team in tackles and was an All-Conference USA selection in 2004 and went on to be a fifth-round draft pick by the Washington Redskins. The next season, Brandon Johnson was the team’s leading tackler and an All-Big East choice. He later was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.

He finished the season ranked sixth nationally in total offense at 310.5 yards per game and was No. 9 in pass efficiency.

The 2009 Blazer offense tallied 5,111 yards, the most in school history. In 2010, UAB again had a potent offense as the unit finished with 5,074 yards, second-highest in school history.

Largest Comeback In School History UAB recorded the largest fourth-quarter, come-from-behind victory in school history last season at Memphis, overcoming an 18-point deficit (35-17) to start the final quarter for a 41-35 win over the Tigers. The previous largest fourth-quarter comeback was 13 points on two occasions – versus Butler in 1993 and versus Troy in 2010. The Blazers trailed by 18 points on three different occasions, 21-3 in the second quarter, 28-10 in the third quarter and 35-17 in the fourth quarter. The largest deficit of any kind overcome by a UAB team was 23 points in the Troy comeback in 2010. Blazers Eclipse 600 Yards Of Offense vs. Memphis UAB surpassed 600 total yards in a game for just the fourth time in school history in the Nov. 12th game at Memphis. The Blazers’ 601 total yards against the Tigers are the fourth-most ever for a Blazer team and the most since a 622-yard output against Florida Atlantic in 2009.
Three Best Rushing Games In 2011 Resulted In Victories Overall last season, UAB found the going tough as far as a productive running game. The Blazers ranked 84th in the country in rushing yards per game at 129.4. Th e r e ’s no doubt that when UAB was able to run the ball, the offense had a lot more success. In fact, in the team’s three victories last season over UCF, Memphis and Southern Miss, the Blazers averaged 185 yards per game on the ground. However, in the nine losses, UAB averaged only 111 yards per contest.

2012 FOOTBALL 2011 Season in Review Blazer Offense Clicked In Final Three Games UAB finished the 2011 season with wins in two of its final three games and nearly capped the campaign with a three-game win streak. Much of the reason for the Blazers’ strong finish was their offensive performance. UAB averaged 469 yards and 37 points in the last three games of the season against Memphis, Southern Miss and Florida Atlantic. UAB scored 14 offensive touchdowns in the last three games after scoring only 11 in the previous nine contests. Memphis Southern Miss Florida Atlantic 3-Game Totals

Perry Made First Career Start vs. Troy Oct. 1 Quarterback Jonathan Perry made his first career start Oct. 1 at Troy, a week after he saw what had been his most extensive action at East Carolina. Perry, who had not played for the Blazers until the 2011 season, saw action in all 12 games, but he saw considerable playing time in the fourth quarter Sept. 24 at ECU after starting QB Bryan Ellis left the game due to an injury. Perry, who finished with 106 passing yards at East Carolina as he hit 9-of-16 passes and led the Blazers on two long, late-game drives, went on to complete 174-of-300 for 2,042 yards last season. He has thrown for 836 yards and seven touchdowns (one interception) in the final three games vs. Memphis, Southern Miss and Florida Atlantic as he completed 63-of-100 passes.

Adams, Bender, Long Picked Up C-USA Player-of-the-Week Honors UAB wide receiver Nick Adams was named the Conference USA Special Teams Player-of-the-Week on Sept. 19, two days after a record-setting kick return performance against Tulane at Legion Field. Meanwhile, a week later, safety Jamie Bender was named the league’s Defensive Player-of-the-Week following his performance against East
McCants Earns First-Team All-Conference Honors Senior offensive lineman Matt McCants’ first-team recognition highlighted the selection of three UAB players to the 2011 All-Conference USA football teams announced by the league office. Senior safety Jamie Matt McCants Bender earned second-team honors, while freshman kicker Ty Long was selected to the Conference USA AllFreshman Team in a vote of the league’s head coaches. McCants, who was also a preseason all-conference selection, was named to the All-Conference USA First Team for the second consecutive year. The 6-foot7, 295-pound McCants was also on the watch list for this season’s Rotary Lombardi Award. Bender led UAB with 119 tackles, the fifth-most in school history, while ranking fifth in C-USA and 24th in the nation with 9.92 tackles per game. He also forced four fumbles (0.33 per game) to rank third in the league and 19th in the U A B

country. Bender made 7.5 tackles per loss and intercepted two passes. Long connected on 16 of 19 field goal attempts this fall in his rookie campaign to rank third in C-USA and tied for 26th nationally with 1.33 field goals per game. That number is tied for second-most in the country among freshman kickers. Long’s 84.2 percent success rate was second-best in C-USA this year, while his 16 made field goals are the sixth-most in a season in UAB annals. Adams Sets UAB Record For Kickoff Return Yards Senior wide receiver Nick Adams set a UAB single-game record with 194 kick return yards and took a Tulane kickoff back 92 yards for a touchdown in the Blazers’ September loss last season to the Green Wave. Adams was sixth last season in Conference USA as he averaged 22.8 yards per return. His 194 yards (on five returns) vs. the Green Wave broke the Blazer mark of 190 set by Frantrell Forrest vs. Tulsa in 2008. The 92-yard touchdown was UAB’s first on a kickoff return since Forrest went 90 yards vs. Tulsa in 2008, a span of 37 games. Adams’ return also matched the longest kick return in Blazer history.

hris Rainey ran for 119 yards and a touchdown, Caleb Sturgis kicked three field goals after the offense bogged down, and No. 18 Florida beat UAB 39-0 in the Blazers’ season opener at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. UAB was not able to move the ball with any consistency against a stingy Gators’ defense. The Blazer team that managed 500 yards in five games last season, including at Tennessee, finished with 212 yards. Bryan Ellis completed 15 of 28 passes for 141 yards. Dontavius Jackson ran five times for 31 yards. A week after becoming the first player in Florida history to score touchdowns rushing, receiving and on a return, Rainey was even better against the Blazers. He had a 32yard touchdown run negated by a holding penalty in the first quarter. Rainey found the end zone again early in the third quarter, and this one stood as he scored from 19 yards out.UAB had a touchdown of its own called back. On the first play of the second quarter, Ellis found running back Greg Franklin deep

down the sideline on what would have been a 38-yard scoring play. But it was called back for a pre-snap illegal shift. A touchdown would have trimmed Florida’s lead to 13-7. Five of Ellis’ completions on the night went to sophomore wideout Jackie Williams, who finished one shy of his careerhigh for catches. Williams caught a pass in every game of his rookie campaign a season ago and now owns a grab in all 13 games of his collegiate career. A total of eight Blazers caught a pass in the game, including Patrick Hearn with four receptions. Jackson, a Georgia transfer who led UAB in rushing for the night and broke off a 22-yard run in the second half, was one of 16 UAB players to see their first game action as Blazers. Included in that number were five true freshmen. Florida scored all four of its touchdowns on the ground with 300 of its total of 512 yards via the rushing game. Kicker Caleb Sturgis booted three field goals for the Gators, including a 24-yarder barely two minutes into the game that gave Florida an early 3-0 lead.
T
he UAB football team lost its Conference USA opener 49-10 to Tulane at Legion Field. The Green Wave had a 540-193 advantage over the Blazers in total offensive yards. Nick Adams’ 92-yard kickoff return for touchdown in the first quarter matched a school record and evened the score at 7-7, but Tulane responded with 21 straight points to open up its lead on the way to its first victory over the Blazers since 2004. Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin completed 22 of 26 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns to lead the attack, while the Green Wave amassed 262 yards on the ground. UAB freshman kicker Ty Long made good on his first career field goal attempt in the third quarter to cut Tulane’s lead to 2810, but Griffin then connected on a pair of scoring passes to Joe Kemp and Matt Marfisi to extend the Green Wave’s advantage to 42-10. Tulane’s second interception return for a touchdown on UAB’s next drive finished off
the scoring for the day. Adams was the top performer for UAB, logging a total of 194 kickoff return yards to set a new UAB record. He also added 31 receiving yards to finish with 225 all-purpose yards, just shy of cracking the top 10 in the UAB record book for a single-game effort. Adams’ return touchdown matched Frantrell Forrest’s 92-yard return for a score on Oct. 13, 2007 for the longest in UAB history. That return was also against Tulane and came in the Green Wave’s last trip to Birmingham. Adams and Jackie Williams each tallied 31 receiving yards in the game, and UAB quarterback Bryan Ellis finished with 145 yards passing. Tulane’s Orleans Darkwa ran for two touchdowns and was one of three Green Wave backs to run for at least 60 yards.

he UAB defense forced seven East Carolina turnovers and the Blazers clawed back from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to give themselves a chance in the closing minutes before falling 28-23 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Running back Pat Shed led UAB with 59 yards and a touchdown on the ground to go with 62 receiving yards on a career-best 11 catches. Quarterback Bryan Ellis threw for 177 yards on 22-for-32 passing before suffering an injury and giving way to Jonathan Perry, who completed 9 of 16 passes for 106 yards. Blazer linebacker Greg Irvin recovered a school-record four fumbles, and safety Jamie Bender gave UAB a defensive score with a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown. With UAB trailing by 11 early in the fourth quarter, Perry led the Blazers on an 80-yard scoring drive, which included a 51-yard pass play to Patrick Hearn. Shed’s touchdown two plays later capped the drive and made the score 28-23. Cornerback Marquis Coleman got the
ball back for the Blazers with seven minutes left on an interception deep in UAB’s own territory, and Perry again drove the team down the field. UAB moved the ball 73 yards and converted three third downs before the drive stalled on a 4th-and-8 at the ECU 18-yard line. Shed nearly came down with a remarkable touchdown grab in the corner of the endzone, but the ball came loose at the end and the Pirates ran out the clock. Quarterback Dominique Davis threw three touchdowns and three interceptions for East Carolina, completing 35 of 42 passes for 361 yards. ECU running back Reggie Bullock rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. UAB safety Chase Daniel intercepted Davis’ first attempt of the day, and the teams went on to combine for 10 turnovers. The seven turnovers forced by UAB (three interceptions and four fumbles) marked the most for the Blazers in a single game since the 2004 season and came up two shy of the school record.
roy found the endzone with 4:07 left and the Trojans held off the UAB football team, 24-23, at Veterans Memorial Stadium. UAB forced three turnovers in the second half, highlighted by a T.J. Ballou 52-yard interception return for score, to hold a 23-14 lead late in the third quarter. However, Troy scored the final 10 points, capped off by D.J. Taylor’s third rushing score of the night, to earn the victory. Receiver Jackie Williams hauled in a career-high eight catches for 89 yards and totaled 208 all-purpose yards, which included a 91-yard punt return, setting up the Blazers’ first score of the night. In his first collegiate start, Jonathan Perry finished the night under center 19-for-39 for 196 yards with an interception. He added 19 yards on the ground, including the first rushing touchdown of his career. On defense, Jamie Bender posted 11 tackles, while Lamanski Ware added nine with a fumble recovery in the loss. Along with his fourth career interception, Ballou

corralled a fumble to add to his stat line. UAB freshman kicker Ty Long knocked through a season-high three field goals, two from 37 yards and one from 41, to help the Blazers build their nine-point lead. Troy made the contest a six-point game with 5:18 left, when kicker Michael Taylor connected on a field goal from 48 yards out. At the five-minute mark, Troy picked off an attempted screen pass from Perry. The interception gave the Trojans the ball in the redzone at the UAB 13-yard line. Following a pass interference call, D.J. Taylor rushed in from two yards out to give Troy the lead for good at 24-23, with 4:07 left in the game. On the next possession, the Blazers drove the ball to the Troy 49, before a fourth-and-one pass sailed incomplete. UAB would get one last chance with 17 seconds left, but Patrick Hearn was knocked out of bounds at the Blazers’ own 43 yard line as time expired.

he UAB defense pitched a first-half shutout, but Mississippi State scored three second-half touchdowns to leave Legion Field with a 21-3 victory. The Blazers led 3-0 at the half on a Ty Long field goal before Mississippi State’s Tyler Russell replaced an ineffective Chris Relf at quarterback and threw three touchdown passes. Russell, who played in only two of the first five games this season, started the second half for the Bulldogs. On his second possession he led the Tigers on a seven-play, 89-yard touchdown drive, capped by an 18yard pass to Marcus Green. Russell connected with Chad Bumphis for a 57-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter, and then later hit Malcolm Johnson with a 20-yard scoring pass. Russell completed 11-of-13 passes for 166 yards. The first-half shutout was the first for UAB since the final game of the 2008 season when the Blazers held UCF without a score. UAB also held the Bulldogs to just 118 yards
in the opening 30 minutes. UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry, making his second start in place of an injured Bryan Ellis, completed 18 of 36 passes for 195 yards and also ran for 44 yards on nine carries. Pat Shed, a Starkville, Miss., native playing against his hometown team, ran for 73 yards on 16 carries and added a gamehigh five catches for 32 yards. UAB receivers Jackie Williams and Patrick Hearn extended their reception streaks to 17 and 16 games, respectively. Williams’ streak is the fourth-best in UAB history, while Hearn’s is tied for fifth. The game marked the fifth all-time meeting between the teams and the fourth straight win in the series for Mississippi State after the Blazers took the first-ever matchup back in 2004. The teams are slated to meet again in Birmingham in 2013 and in Starkville in 2014.
AB quarterback Bryan Ellis threw for 280 yards and two scores in his return to the lineup, while redshirt freshman Jamarcus Nelson had a pair of touchdown catches. However, it was not enough as the UAB football team dropped a 37-20 decision at Tulsa. Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns as Tulsa overcame four turnovers to win the game. UAB scored 17 consecutive points to take a 17-10 lead in the second quarter, but Kinne threw two touchdown passes in the final 3:28 of the first half, helping Tulsa to a 24-20 lead at halftime. Ellis and Nelson hooked up for first-half scoring strikes of 66 and 45 yards, the first two touchdown passes of the season for UAB and the first two career TD grabs for Nelson. It was the only two catches on the night for Nelson, who finished with a careerbest 111 yards receiving. Nelson recorded the first 100-yard receiving game for UAB this season and the first for the Blazers since teammate Patrick

Hearn had 123 yards last year against Memphis (Nov. 20, 2010). Jackie Williams added seven receptions for 77 yards as he extended his reception streak to 18 straight games, while Nick Adams had a pair of catches for 42 yards. Tulsa running back Ja’Terian Douglas ran for 137 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown scamper in the third quarter that stretched the lead to 37-20. Clay Sears had nine catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, and Willie Carter had eight for 87 and a score. UAB freshman kicker Ty Long connected on his seventh and eighth field goals of the year in the second quarter, including a career-best 49-yarder. The Blazer defense intercepted Kinne on the final play of the first quarter and also forced and recovered three Tulsa fumbles in the game.

y Long kicked a 40-yard field goal with 21 seconds left to give UAB its first victory of the season, 26-24, over UCF. The Blazers converted two third-andlongs after taking over at their own 16 with 4:57 left to set up the game-winner. The Knights got the ball across midfield with 14 seconds remaining on a kick return by Rannell Hall. Backup quarterback Blake Bortles threw an incomplete pass and then had a last-play heave intercepted by Chase Daniel at the goal line. Bortles had led two fourth-quarter scoring drives after relieving Jeff Godfrey to rally the Knights from a 23-14 deficit, but couldn’t keep UCF from losing for the fourth time in five games. Jonathan Perry completed 31 of 42 passes for 327 yards and two touchdowns while subbing for injured starter Bryan Ellis. Perry hit Patrick Hearn for a 22-yarder on thirdand-12 to push the Blazers across midfield. On third-and-16, UCF’s Lyle Dankenbring was called for pass interference. Long split the uprights after three straight
runs by Darrin Reaves. UCF had taken the lead on Shawn Moffitt’s 24-yard field goal. UAB gained 501 yards against the nation’s No. 3 defense while holding UCF to 331. Perry also ran for 33 yards on eight carries, while Reaves gained 83 yards. Godfrey was 13 of 22 for 133 yards and an interception and directed touchdown drives on UCF’s first two possessions, capped by leading rusher Brynn Harvey’s first touchdowns of the season. Bortles was 6 of 10 for 102 yards, all in the final quarter. Jackie Williams, who had 10 catches for 82 yards, scored on a 4-yard end around on third-and-goal for the nine-point lead in the opening minute of the fourth.Long had given UAB a 16-14 halftime lead on a 45-yard field goal on the final play after Perry took over with 34 seconds left. He delivered a 25-yard pass to Nolen Smith and a 12-yarder to Williams to move into field goal position.
he UAB football team suffered a Conference USA road loss, falling to Marshall at Joan C. Edwards Stadium by a score of 59-14. Wide receiver Nick Adams and freshman running back Darrin Reaves accounted for the UAB scoring with second-half touchdown runs for the Blazers. Marshall quarterback A.J. Graham threw for 239 yards and five touchdowns, three of which came in a big second quarter for the Thundering Herd. Marshall managed four total second-quarter touchdowns, including an interception return for a score, as it built a 38-0 halftime lead. Adams’ touchdown, the first rushing score of his career, came on a reverse on the opening drive of the second half to put UAB on the scoreboard, but Marshall responded immediately with Graham’s fifth touchdown toss of the game, a 38-yard pass to Troy Evans. Evans caught two scoring passes on the day and had six catches for 106 yards. UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry completed 18 of 33 passes for 215 yards and a

pair of interceptions against the Thundering Herd. Perry completed passes to 10 different receivers, led by junior Patrick Hearn’s four grabs for 45 yards. Jay Davis also caught four passes, a career-high for the UAB redshirt freshman. Receiver Jackie Williams posted two catches for 20 yards and has now caught at least one pass in all 20 games of his UAB career, the fourth-longest streak in school history. Reaves led UAB in rushing for the second straight week with 55 yards on 11 carries and added his first career touchdown run on the Blazers’ next-to-last possession. Tron Martinez paced the Marshall ground attack with 54 yards on eight carries. Gator Hoskins caught two touchdown passes in the game for Marshall, which also scored twice on the defensive side of the ball.

ase Keenum threw for 407 yards to become the most prolific passer in NCAA history and he added two rushing touchdowns to lead No. 14 Houston past UAB, 56-13. UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry finished the night 15-of-29 passing for 149 yards and a touchdown, while running back Greg Franklin picked up 54 yards on 11 carries. Blazer safety Jamie Bender forced a fumble and matched his career-high with 14 tackles on the defensive side of the ball, the most tackles by a UAB player this season. Keenum passed Timmy Chang’s career record of 17,072 yards passing for Hawaii from 2000-04. The Houston senior finished the game with 17,212 yards passing for his career. Keenum completed a 16-yard pass to Justin Johnson in the third quarter to pass Chang’s mark. He tied Chang’s record with a 26-yard pass to Johnson on the previous play. The Blazers took the early lead on Per-
ry’s 9-yard pass to Patrick Hearn to cap a 12play drive in the first quarter. It was Hearn’s second touchdown grab of the season and the seventh of his career. UAB, attempting to make the most of its momentum, then tried an onside kick, but Houston recovered on the Blazers’ 47. Keenum led a quick touchdown drive capped by a 2-yard scoring pass to Tyron Carrier. After that, UAB’s only points came on Ty Long’s field goals of 39 yards in the second quarter and 37 yards in the third. Keenum had 1-yard scoring runs in the second and third quarters. Charles Sims also scored from the 1 in the second quarter and Michael Hayes capped Houston’s first possession of the second half with a 3-yard touchdown run. Hayes had 16 carries for 93 yards. Sims had 14 carries for 71 yards.
uarterback Jonathan Perry threw for a career-high 410 yards and four touchdowns and Greg Franklin scored on a 10-yard run with 1:36 left to cap UAB’s largest fourthquarter comeback in school history in a 41-35 win over Memphis Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The Blazers have now claimed the “Battle for the Bones” trophy in three straight meetings against Memphis (2-8, 1-5 Conference USA) and have defeated the Tigers in 10 of 14 alltime contests. UAB trailed 35-17 entering the final quarter before scoring 24 unanswered points. Perry accounted for a career-high 457 yards of total offense, 410 through the air and 47 on the ground, both personal-bests. His total offense number was the third-most in the UAB record books and the most by a Blazer since Joe Webb accounted for 459 (322 passing, 137 rushing) against UCF in 2009. The feverish comeback started on Ty Long’s 24-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Perry then threw an 18-yard pass to Nick Adams to make the score 35-27 with 9:51 left.
41 35
Later in the fourth, Perry, who finished 29-for48 under center, brought the Blazers within two, 35-33, on a 42-yard score to Jamarcus Nelson with 7:08 left in the contest. Nelson finished with career highs in receptions (six) and receiving yards (133) along with a pair of scores. His 133-yard receiving total marked the most by UAB player since Frantrell Forrest had 149 at Florida Atlantic in 2008. In the UAB backfield, Franklin finished the night with career highs in rushing (73) and receiving (70) yards. His 143 total yards were also a personal best to go along with his game-winning touchdown, the first of his career. For the game the Blazers outgained the Tigers 601 to 384 in total offense as UAB accounted for the fourth-most yards in a game in UAB lore. The 18-point fourth-quarter, come-frombehind victory was the largest in program history. The greatest previous final stanza comeback was 13 points on two occasions, against Butler in 1993 and versus Troy in 2010.

y Long kicked a 38-yard field goal with 3:04 left to lift UAB to a 34-31 upset of No. 20 Southern Miss at Legion Field . The Blazers earned their third victory ever against a ranked team, having beaten No. 17 East Carolina 36-17 in 1999 and No. 24 UTEP 35-23 in 2005. The win was also the third consecutive for UAB over Southern Miss after nine consecutive defeats to the Golden Eagles. Southern Miss pushed the ball across midfield twice in the final minutes but Austin Davis’ fourth-down pass was broken up by safety Jamie Bender. Davis’ run for what would have been a first down was negated by Jason Weaver’s chop block, setting up third and 20 from the Southern Miss 41. UAB ran the clock down to 11 seconds before punting. The Golden Eagles had at least five laterals before the final play ended inside the Blazers’ 40.

2012 FOOTBALL Homecoming Games
H
omecomings have been a successful venture for the UAB program. As a participant, both as the visitor and the host, UAB is 19-13-1 in homecoming games. The mark is 13-5 at Legion Field, and 6-8-1 on the road. Homecoming during football season at UAB had what was perhaps its best celebration in 1996 in what was also undoubtedly the Blazers’ toughest homecoming contest to that point. The Blazers hosted the Ragin’ Cajuns of Southwestern Louisiana, looking to avenge a 56-21 loss to USL a year earlier. An offensive shootout saw the Blazers trail 29-28 entering the fourth quarter, and midway through the quarter, quarterback Rodney Hudson connected with Robert Davis on a 67-yard screen pass from deep in UAB’s territory. Four plays later, Hudson connected with running back Keith Roland on a 13-yard pass for the go-ahead score; the two-point conversion made it, 36-29. After an interception by Omar Parker, a Jake Arians field goal clinched the victory, 39-29. But the celebration of homecoming at UAB has not always been a football “tradition.” Prior to the 1994 football season, the festivities of homecoming were conducted during the basketball season. It was not until the spring of 1994 that university administrators and athletic department officials agreed that the activities would be moved to football season. The road streak includes a 35-35 tie at Hampden-Sydney in the inaugural season of Division III competition in 1991, as well as backto-back road wins during the 1993 season at Mississippi Valley State (30-13) and Charleston Southern (48-20). The most memorable of the “road” wins in homecoming games came in 2000, when the Blazers upset LSU 13-10 in Baton Rouge (Sept. 23), spoiling homecoming for the Tigers and a sellout crowd of 83,339. UAB’s defense stifled the Tigers for most of the game, Daniel Dixon4came off the bench to toss a 24- yard touchdown pass to Leron Little, and Rhett Gallego connected on two field goals, the last a 32-yarder on the game’s final play to clinch the win.
Leron Little’s second-quarter TD reception (left) helped UAB spoil LSU’s 2000 Homecoming game in Baton Rouge; meanwhile, LB Zac Woodfin and his Blazer teammates put a damper on Mississippi State’s 2004 Homecoming, defeating the Bulldogs in Starkville, 27-13. 1 7 4

The Blazers also won their own homecoming game in 2000, holding off Middle Tennessee at Legion Field (Oct. 21) behind 102 rushing yards from Jegil Dugger and 153 passing yards and a touchdown pass from Jeff Aaron. UAB spoiled another SEC homecoming in 2004 when the Blazers traveled to Starkville, Miss. to knock off Mississippi State, 27-13. UAB saw its five-game Homecoming win streak at Legion Field come to an end in 2006 as SMU edged the Blazers, 28-27. In 2007, UAB defeated Tulane, 26-21. The Blazers defeated Tulane in the 2001 homecoming contest and then won over Houston in 2002. The Blazers have captured victories in four of their last six homecoming games. They defeated Troy, 21-3, in 2006, downed Tulane, 26-21, in 2007, edged Marshall by a 23-21 score and then beat Florida Atlantic, 56-29, in 2009. UAB has dropped its last two homecoming games at Legion Field, falling to Marshall, 31-17, in 2010, and to Houston, 56-13 in 2011.

streak to seven games. That streak was ended, however, in the season-opener of the 1993 campaign - the Blazers’ first year of competition in Division I-AA - as the nationally-ranked Troy State Trojans defeated the Blazers 37-3 before a crowd of 14,207 on Labor Day afternoon (Sept. 6, 1993). However, working on just four days rest, the Blazers came back five days later and earned their first I-AA victory with a 52-14 decision over Morehead State. UAB was 5-1 at Legion Field in 1993, a record that included an unusual “road” appearance in the stadium as the Blazers were the visitors in a city showdown with Miles College, which UAB won, 31-6. The Blazers were 3-2 at Legion Field in 1998, and 3-2 again in 1999, a mark that included a win over Houston in UAB’s firstever Conference USA game and a stunning 36-17 upset of No. 17-ranked East Carolina on Nov. 6, 1999. The Blazers finished with a 4-1 mark in 2004. UAB compiled a 3-2 mark in 2009 after compiling 2-3 home records the previous two seasons. In 2011 UAB finished 2-4 at home.
istoric Legion Field has been the site of many a classic gridiron confrontation in its 85 years of existence. The first game on November 19, 1927, a “local” battle that saw Howard (now Samford) defeat Birmingham-Southern 9-0; since that time, the stadium has played host to hundreds of high school, college and professional football contests. The stadium was constructed in 1926 with an original capacity of 21,000; the cost of the original construction was $439,000. The stadium was named in 1927 in honor of the American Legion and stands as a memorial to those who gave their lives in the service of this country. The stadium grew significantly over the years, growing to a capacity of 83,091. At that time, the expansion moved the stadium to 10th among the then-112 Division I football stadiums in the country. After having an artificial playing surface for 25 years, the stadium was returned to grass in time for the 1995 season; Legion Field was the site for first-round soccer games during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. A new, state-of-the-art Sure Turf surface was added prior to the 2006 season. The stadium has seen its share of famous players and coaches throughout the years. Among the players who have competed here are Johnny Unitas, Doak Walker, Bobby Layne, Dick Butkus, Sammy Baugh, and Vincent “Bo” Jackson. The coaching list includes such greats as Tom Landry, Bob Neyland, Bobby Bowden, Wallace Wade, Tom Osborne, Wally Butts, John McKay, Hank Stram, Jack Pardee, Bobby Dodd, Ralph “Shug” Jordan, Pat Dye,
Paul “Bear” Bryant, Vince Dooley and Joe Paterno. In addition to its numerous high school and collegiate contests, Legion Field has served as the home of the Birmingham Americans and Birmingham Vulcans of the World Football League, the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League, the Birmingham Fire of the World League of American Football, the Birmingham Barracudas of the Canadian Football League, and the Birmingham Bolts of the XFL. UAB has posted an overall record of 69-44-1 at Legion Field during the past 20-plus seasons. The Season-By-Season Records Blazers were 2-2-1 at home in their inauguYear (DIV.)

U
AB President and alumna Carol Garrison has had an extraordinary view of her alma mater. She took her first full-time job in UAB Hospital, during the university’s formative years in the 1970s, then earned her master’s degree from UAB. When she returned to campus in fall 2002, as UAB’s sixth president, the young, dynamic institution had evolved into a world-renowned research university and medical center.

Brian Mackin Athletics Director
B
rian Mackin was named UAB’s Director of Athletics on February 14, 2007. He moved into the position after spending five years as senior associate athletic director for external affairs for the Blazers. A former UAB baseball letterman, Mackin has a deep-rooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director. Mackin’s desire to see UAB excel both on and off the playing field was never more apparent than this past academic year when the Blazers turned in their highest finish in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings in 12 years. He has made success in the classroom and improving athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire StudentAthlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of
versity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She was a faculty member, department chair, dean and provost at the University of South Carolina (1982-1997). She joined the University of Louisville as provost in 1997 and was appointed interim president there in early 2002. As president of UAB, Dr. Garrison also chairs the board of the UAB Health System, which includes UAB Hospital, The Kirklin Clinic, and other of UAB’s nationally ranked patient care facilities. During Dr. Garrison’s tenure, UAB has enjoyed remarkable growth and development. Recent years have seen the opening of state-of-the-art facilities such as the North Pavilion of UAB Hospital and the Shelby Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building, Heritage Hall and the burgeoning Campus Green along University Boulevard, and most recently, the UAB Women & Infants
Center and Hazelrig-Salter Radiation-Oncology Facility. The growth of the physical campus and academic programs has been guided by UAB’s Strategic Plan. Developed with campus-wide participation in 2003, the Strategic Plan has led to the recruitment of internationally known faculty and physicians, and the creation of innovative new curricula and honors programs for undergraduates. In 2011, UAB saw its largest enrollment ever (17,575). UAB has also recently been ranked among the top 15 percent of all U.S. universities in The Princeton Review (5th in diverse student population and 11th in student satisfaction). Now in her 10th year as president, Dr. Garrison continues working in partnership with the campus and the community towards an extraordinary vision for UAB and for Birmingham.
new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions. Under Mackin’s watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mission to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete’s experience while at UAB. Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions. Mackin’s priority on academics has paid dividends as the Blazers’ Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores have improved each year under his tenure as AD. The most recent APR report released in June showed that all but three of UAB’s teams have a multi-year rate of 950 or better. Since Mackin became athletics director, a new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened. A new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers’ Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices. Other facilities improvements have included the resurfacing of the track for the
Blazers’ track and field team. The first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed prior to the start of the 2010 season. This past February, the Don and Alicia Huey Softball Hitting Facility was dedicated. The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academics. In the last two years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB’s athletics teams. In his position as athletics director, Mackin has also been involved on various conference and national committees. He just completed his first year as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic department. In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin’s leadership, contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Investors Group, the Champion

Gene Bartow Alabama Sports Hall Of Fame ’89 National College Basketball Hall Of Fame ’09
O
ne of the most respected figures in intercollegiate athletics, Gene Bartow, forged the UAB athletic program into a well-rounded organization with outstanding teams in several sports. Bartow, considered the “founding father” of UAB athletics, grew the intercollegiate sports program there from its infancy into one that featured 17 sports and an annual operating budget of more than $8 million by the time he retired from the position in 2000. Bartow, who passed away Jan. 3, 2012 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, guided the program through three conference changes, grew the football team from a club sport into a Division I-A program, and added several women’s sports to the university’s athletics roster. Bartow was at the helm of the UAB men’s basketball program for 18 seasons, compiling a record of 366-203 (.643) during his tenure. He led the Blazers to the NIT in the program’s second year of existence, and followed that up with seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 in 1981 and the Elite Eight in 1982. In all, he led UAB to 14 postseason appearances, nine of which were NCAA Tournaments. In addition to his time at UAB, Bartow is one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. By the time he retired from collegiate coaching in 1996, he had led teams for 34 years at six universities (Central Missouri State, Valparaiso, Memphis State, Illinois, UCLA and UAB), compiling 647 wins, 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Four appearances, one national title game appearance and one national Coach of the Year Award (both with Memphis State in 1973), and no probation problems with the NCAA. In 2009, Bartow received the ultimate honor as he was inducted into the National College Basketball Hall of Fame. He entered the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and is also a member of both the Missouri Basketball Hall of Fame and the Northeast Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame. The Browning, Mo. native coached 34 years at six universities. He coached at Central Missouri State University from 1961-64, Valparaiso University from 1964-1970, Memphis State University from 1970-74, and he led the Tigers to the ‘73 NCAA national championship game and consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles in the ‘71-’72 and ‘72-’73 seasons. In 1974 Bartow accepted the head coaching position at the University of Illinois. Illinois finished 8-18 in his only season coaching the Fighting Illini, and Bartow left his position to succeed John Wooden as the head coach of UCLA. Bartow coached at UCLA from 1975 to 1977, guiding them to a 52-9 record, including a berth in the 1976 Final Four. Bartow left UCLA after the 1977 season to take over the job of creating an athletic program at UAB. Bartow retired from coaching in 1996, and in 1997, UAB renamed its basketball venue, Bartow Arena, in his honor. The Birmingham News has voted him one of the top 10 most influential figures in Alabama sports for the past century. Bartow is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Huffine, and three children, Mark, Beth and Murry, who is the head men’s basketball coach at East Tennessee State. 1 9 1
