On Thursday night the Memphis Tigers will try and get to that elusive .500 mark against Alabama-Birmingham.

The lethal combination of Memphis running back Curtis Steele and quarterback Arkelon Hall should play a big part in this game. Steele is coming off one of his best games rushing for 203 yards last weekend against Arkansas State and Hall continues to be consistent at quarterback as he ranks 12th in passing yards in the country right now.

Memphis comes into this match up with a good chance of coming out on top as UAB has had trouble on defense stopping quarterbacks production through the air. So bad in fact, that the Blazers are third worst team in the country in giving up passing yardage. If Arkelon Hall keeps playing the way he has, expect a big day from him.

Not only can UAB not stop anyone from scoring, but their production on the offensive side of the football is just as bad. In only two games against Division I opponents the Blazers quarterback Joe Webb has thrown five interceptions. The kid may be good with his feet racking up 423 rushing yards, but if he can’t get it done in the air the Blazers will always be in trouble.

With Memphis clear advantage on both sides of the ball, the Tigers should get a win in Alabama on Thursday night and get back to being a .500 football team.
