It’s not every week that UAB is on a bigger stage than Alabama or Auburn, but that’s the case this week.

Bill Clark and his 9-1 UAB team will be in the spotlight as they travel to College Station to face Texas A&M, the Tide and Tigers’ SEC rival, at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.

The Blazers entered the Amway Coaches Poll at No. 25 this week for just the second time in program history. The squad from Birmingham’s Southside was dominant in the second half and overtime against Southern Miss to clinch the Conference USA West Division with a 26-23 victory.

“We know what is in front of us, having to go to Texas A&M,” Clark said this week. “We know how well they’re playing and what kind of team they’ve got. They’re in the SEC and all of the above.”

Of course, the Blazers haven’t lost sight of possibly earning a chance to host the C-USA title game with a victory on the road next week against Middle Tennessee.

“We have plenty of time to look forward to that,” Clark said. “Right now, our focus is on Texas A&M and getting ready for that game.”
