The 13th-ranked BYU Cougars face the UAB Blazers on Saturday, December 18 in the 2021 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. The Cougars (10-2) barely missed a beat this season without NFL second overall pick Zach Wilson at quarterback. BYU followed an 11-1 season in 2020 with a year that included wins against Pac-12 champ Utah and Mountain West winner Utah State. Its losses were to rival Boise State and Big 12 champion Baylor. The Blazers (8-4) have been uneven this season but have a ferocious defense that harasses quarterbacks and forces mistakes. It also should provide a tough test for the BYU rushing offense.
Kickoff from Independence Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.
