Trent Dilfer’s transition to the college football ranks in his first year as head coach at UAB hasn’t been the smoothest of sailing. Despite a win over North Carolina A&T in the season opener, the Blazers had dropped three in a row heading into Saturday’s American Athletic Conference matchup at Tulane.
Unfortunately for Dilfer and Co., the situation didn’t improve on the road in New Orleans.
UAB raced out to a 20–7 lead in the first half but saw its advantage slowly trickle away throughout the afternoon, and the Blazers eventually lost, 35–23. As the game progressed, tensions seemed to be building on the Blazers’ sideline—until they finally boiled over in the fourth quarter.
