While the competition for both sides hasn’t been great, we’re seeing similar trends between both sides, and that’s fabulous offense and a defense that allows scores. If the trends continue, this is likely going to be another track meet where a lot of scoring takes place and it being hard for UAB to pull away. The Presbyterian Blue Hose have enough scoring to keep this somewhat competitive. Give me the points.
