UAB upsets Marshall on the road for second Conference USA title in three years​

The Blazers pull the upset in Huntington to win the second title since returning college football to Birmingham.

• In the first upset of Championship Weekend, the UAB Blazers went on the road to beat the Marshall Thundering Herd 22-13 on Friday night to win the 2020 Conference USA championship in Huntington, WV
• Marshall quarterback Grant Wells mostly struggled, going 8-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He was 0-10 passing at halftime, and the Herd as a unit ran just 51 plays with a 5.3 yards per play average.
  
  UAB’s ability to run the ball against a team that was allowing just 13 points per game was the difference, and Johnston III was 12-22 for 252 yards and two touchdowns through the air, and the Blazers ran the ball 52 times for 216 yards.
• Hopefully the Herd will be ready
  this time.

I wouldn't have called that an upset win for the Blazers. One has to only look at the late season play by the Herd to know that team had quit in the 2nd week of November. Was that when the humongous parking lot brawl took place?
