Is UAB About to SHOCK Navy on Friday Night?

GAME OF THE WEEK: NAVY vs. UAB 🔥 Break The Huddle is heading to Birmingham, Alabama for a Friday night showdown under the lights at Protective Stadium! 🏈 Navy vs. UAB 📍 Protective Stadium | Birmingham, AL 📺 ESPN | 7 PM ET 🎥 Break The Huddle will be LIVE on-site with Nathan Johnston & Jake the Weatherman! The biggest question: Can UAB slow down Navy’s dominant rushing attack? Navy enters the matchup averaging 376 rushing yards per game, while UAB has surrendered 192 rushing yards per game. That creates a fascinating matchup because one of UAB’s biggest defensive strengths — its secondary — may not matter nearly as much against an offense that wants to control the game on the ground. We break down: 🔥 Navy’s option attack vs. UAB’s run defense 🔥 The health of Navy’s quarterbacks 🔥 Why second-half adjustments could decide the game 🔥 Ryder Burton’s need to protect the football 🔥 Why Georgia transfer Roderick Robinson II could be UAB’s X-factor 🔥 Navy’s dominant run defense 🔥 UAB’s massive transfer-portal overhaul 🔥 Why this is a huge opportunity for the Blazers at home 🔥 What we expect from the atmosphere at Protective Stadium PLAYER TO WATCH: RODERICK ROBINSON II Robinson enters the matchup with 225 rushing yards on 48 carries, and his physical running style gives UAB an opportunity to challenge a Navy defense that has been outstanding against the run. Can UAB make Navy uncomfortable and force the Midshipmen into passing situations? Or will Navy control the trenches and dictate the game with its option attack? Nathan Johnston and betting expert/co-host Rooster’s Cocky Picks break down everything you need to know before kickoff. And this week, we're taking Break The Huddle on the road! Nathan and Jake the Weatherman will be LIVE from UAB, bringing you the sights, sounds, tailgating and atmosphere from Birmingham. 👇 COMMENT YOUR PICK: NAVY or UAB?
