DeWayne McBride ranks 4th nationally with 1,441 yards rushing and 18 TDs.

Louisiana Tech ranks 130th out of 131 FBS teams allowing 228.4 rush yards per game on defense.

To win the game, Tech must stop the run. Tall task with McBride toting the rock all afternoon.

Both Louisiana Tech and UAB have struggled to score touchdowns in the red-zone.

With UAB playing for a berth in a bowl game, and Louisiana Tech playing for pride, it will be interesting to see if the Bulldogs can match the Blazers intensity on Saturday.
