Under Pressure: 16/40 (40%) for 252 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs
Not Blitzed: 46/84 (55%) for 596 yards, 5 TDs, 5 INTs

Lucero has been sacked 3 times, had 4 balls batted down, 5 drops, and 6 throw aways.
He's not the most accurate QB in the world, what's new about a UAB QB?
In his last two games, Lucero is 25/54 (46%) for 251 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs. Not playing his best football.
Here is what concerns me: Watkins and Mitchell on the outside can get vertical, we saw it last year. Can the Tech DBs make plays down the field on the ball? That was the difference in the game last season. Tech gave up two big deep balls in a 20-13 loss.
First and foremost, UAB wants to run the football with Spencer Brown. He's down about 20 pounds this year, looks a lot quicker. DeWayne McBride is a TR FR that is making a name for himself behind Brown. He's averaging over 10 yards a carry on 26 carries. He shredded WKU for 131 yards on 10 carries.
The LT Telfort has yet to allow a QB pressure in 56 pass blk snaps this season. Ragland (LG) and Wells (RT) have struggled in pass pro, allowed 20 QB pressures amongst them. The RG Trehern has been downright brutal. He has a 39.7 pass blk grade, has allowed 11 QB pressures, and committed 7 penalties. I'd line Milton up over him all night long.
Defensively, their DBs commits a ton of penalties. Marshall and Harris have combined for 8 holding or PI's to this point. They are very physical on the outside, very physical.
