Buy Razor Ray’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Vanderbilt won comfortably over Massachusetts their last time out, pulling away in the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdown scores for a 24-7 win.<\/p>\n Quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels led the team\u2019s offensive attack, completing 18 of 27 passes for 219 yards and a pair of scores, adding an additional 38 yards on the ground. Carta-Samuels also caught a pass for a 21 yard gain \u2013 he simply did it all for Vanderbilt. All in all, Vanderbilt gained 406 yards of offense, 167 of which came in the fourth quarter. Carta-Samuels\u2019s favorite target in the game was Jonathan Krause, who brought in six balls for 105 yards and a first quarter score. They had trouble early on against a Massachusetts defense that entered allowing more than 522 yards of offense per game, but broke through in the fourth quarter to put the game away.<\/p>\n The Vanderbilt defense wasn\u2019t great, but they got stops when they needed them. Massachusetts quarterback A.J. Doyle completed 20 of 28 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. In total, Vanderbilt limited Massachusetts to just 248 yards of offense.<\/p>\n UAB already had some trouble with an SEC opponent, dropping their game against LSU, 56-17, but Vanderbilt isn\u2019t LSU. When the Blazers took on LSU, they ran into a buzzsaw, as the Tigers\u2019 offense was just hitting its stride on offense. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The UAB offense had plenty of success against Northwestern State, which led to a 52-28 win. They\u2019ll need that offense to kick into high gear once again as they take a step up in class.<\/p>\n Darrin Reaves led the UAB offense their last time out, turning 17 carries into 178 yards and two scores, including a 50-yard score in the third quarter. Wide receiver Jamarcus Nelson also racked up a pair of scores \u2013 a 41-yard reception, and a punt return that he brought back 63 yards. In the end, he finished with 123 all-purpose yards.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s defense had some trouble with Northwestern State\u2019s Garrett Arzenweiler, who accounted for 100 of the team\u2019s 150 rushing yards, including two of the team\u2019s touchdowns.<\/p>\n At first glance, it appears that Vanderbilt is in another class from UAB, but the Commodores just had a ton of trouble putting away a lesser Massachusetts team, and if their offense plays as poorly as it did a week ago, it\u2019s tough to imagine them building up a three-touchdown margin.<\/p>\n The Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against non-conference opponents.<\/p>\n The play: UAB +20.5<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UAB vs Vanderbilt NCAA Football Handicapping A pair of teams that haven\u2019t met since 1996 will square off in Nashville on Saturday when the Vanderbilt Commodores host the UAB Blazers.
