6 Plenty of Experience Returning But Blazers Must Fill Key Holes As head coach Watson Brown peruses the roster of his 2006 Blazer squad, it s easy for the veteran UAB head coach to get excited about all the returning players, including a senior class that will be the largest Brown has had since he s been in Birmingham. There is experience virtually everywhere across the board with more than 50 returning lettermen, and while 12 combined returning starters on offense and defense is not an overwhelming number, it should also be considered that several other Blazers listed as backups during spring practice have also seen starting duty at some point of their careers at UAB. There are question marks, no doubt, but not as many as there were a year ago. The departure of record-setting quarterback Darrell Hackney, who started 38 games for the Blazers and threw for 9,886 yards and 71 touchdowns in his career, will be the first item observers notice. Hackney was a significant part of the UAB offense throughout his time in Birmingham, and last season, his senior year was no different as he passed for 3,180 yards and 22 TDs. Look for the 2006 Blazers to run the ball more, with their intent to control the clock more often. They are not expected to be as much of a down-the-field passing team as UAB was with Hackney providing the passing arsenal. UAB also has some uncertainties at the receiver position where Reggie Lindsey and Jhun Cook combined for 95 receptions for 1,631 yards and 13 touchdowns as senior starters in Only one returning Blazer there has substantial experience at this level. And finally, while UAB returns four of its five starters on the offensive line, that single void will be felt as three-year starter and first-team All-Conference USA performer Matt Batusic has concluded his career in the Green & Gold. The Blazers have put the disappointments of the 2005 season when they finished 5-6 overall and 3-5 in C-USA play behind them. Brown and his staff have spent an abundance of time trying to improve the consistency of the Blazer defense that ranked around the middle of the pack in most conference defensive statistical categories last season. It was big plays and key drives that hindered UAB s defense in Brown has also put a renewed emphasis on the special teams units, naming Rodney Bivens who coached the Blazer receivers the past three years, as the team s special teams coordinator. Brown also has shuffled most of the position responsibilities within his staff and promoted long-time assistant Rick Christophel to defensive coordinator. Coordinator duties are nothing new for Christophel. He also called the shots for the UAB defense in 2001 when the Blazers ranked No. 1 nationally in rushing yards yielded per game and No. 5 in total defense. The 2006 schedule is as attractive as it s ever been, if not the most challenging, with road games at Oklahoma and Georgia among the first three contests of the season. Offense The 2006 season will be the start of LAH Life After Hackney. UAB has had one of the nation s most productive offenses in recent seasons and last year, averaged yards per game. As the Blazers conclude their 06 spring drills, the question of who will replace Hackney at the quarterback position is still not resolved. Getting his signal-calling candidates plenty of work and testing them in the line of fire were spring practice objectives of Brown. Settling on just who the starter will be heading into the Sept. 2 contest at Oklahoma was not necessarily a must. Unlike the past three seasons when Hackney saw by far the most action at quarterback in the UAB offense, Brown says the Blazers will very likely use more than one signal-caller in As it stands this spring, three quarterbacks are vying to be in the mix and to compete for playing time. Senior Chris Williams (5-11, 205) is the only player in the trio who has seen action at UAB. Williams has seen action in 10 games with the Blazers and has 93 career pass attempts. However, most of that action came during the 2003 season after Hackney went down with a season-ending thumb injury. Two newcomers Sam Hunt (6-3, 215, Jr.) and Joseph Webb (6-4, 205, R-Fr.) will also contend for playing time at the quarterback position after practicing with the Blazers last fall. Hunt has limited Division I-A experience having seen some action at Middle Tennessee during the 2004 season. Of the three quarterbacks competing for action, Hunt is regarded as the best running threat of the trio. Without the strong-armed Hackney, the 2006 Blazers will utilize their experienced running back corps more often. A group that includes four seniors, including the tandem of Corey White (6-2, 235) and Dan Burks (6-1, 218) that has combined for 3,398 yards and 28 touchdowns, will be called on often this fall. But White and Burks aren t the only backs returning with proven experience. Marculus Elliott (5-9, 195) and Trey Chaney (5-8, 190) have also had their share of quality moments during their Blazer careers. Elliott, in fact, was UAB s hottest runner at season s end in 2005 as he averaged 97.3 yards over the final three contests, including a career-best 116 (on only eight carries) against UCF. Chaney has rushed for 638 yards during his career, the bulk of that coming as a freshman in 2003 when he was thrust into action due to injuries in the backfield. At receiver, the Blazers are hoping for big things from senior Norris Drinkard (6-0, 195). With the departure of Lindsey and Cook, Drinkard is the team s leading returning receiver with 41 receptions for 390 yards in Drinkard has also been used in the backfield during his UAB career and has run for 201 yards the past two seasons. The Blazers also are optimistic that Willie Edwards (6-3, 215, Jr.) will emerge in 2006 as a productive receiver. Edwards, who has excellent size at the wideout spot, has battled health issues the past two years but had an outstanding spring, giving the UAB coaches a glimpse of his potential. Nick Coon (6-2, 185, Sr.) and Steven Brown (6-1, 185, So.) are also expected to be key contributors to the Blazer offense at the receiver position. After catching 10 passes for a 36 yards per catch average as a true freshman in 2003, Coon has only made three receptions over the past two seasons. His role is expected to increase this fall. Meanwhile, Brown sat out last fall after transferring to UAB. A former high school quarterback at Vestavia Hills, Brown had an outstanding spring and will also be in the picture for extensive playing time among the Blazer receivers. Sylvester Mencer (5-11, 185, So.) and Gershom Bigham (5-11, 190, R-Fr.) are two of UAB s younger receivers and are expected to see increased time on the field in The offensive line should be a team strength this season as four of five starters return for the Blazers. The only loss among the group, three-year starting center and all-conference performer Batusic, was a vital cog and his absence will be felt. Cornelius Rogers (6-4, 320, Sr.) and Julius Wilson (6-5, 310, Sr.) give the Blazers arguably the best set of starting tackles in C- USA. Both Rogers and Wilson will be starting for UAB for the third consecutive season. Alan Leon (6-4, 320, Sr.) was impressive in the spring and is slated to be the starter at right guard with JaMarius Dismuke (6-5, 320, Jr.) listed as the backup.

7 2006 UAB Outlook 2 Providing depth on the line will be Patrick Swoopes (6-4, 310, R-Fr.) is a talented newcomer who has outstanding potential, according to the Blazer coaches. Willie Thompson (6-6, 280, R-Fr.) is also expected to lend depth at the tackle position. Quinton Harris (6-4, 330, Sr.) was the starter at left guard last season after seeing part-time starting duty as a sophomore in Despite missing spring practice due to academic reasons, Harris is expected to return to his guard spot when fall drills begin in August. Adam Truitt (6-3, 310, Jr.) will likely see action at both center and guard this season. Truitt started at left guard in 2005 but also served as Batusic s backup at the center spot. Tommie Keys (6-1, 300, Sr.) also will compete for playing time at the guard position. Jake Seitz (6-2, 300, R-Fr.) has yet to play a down for the Blazers but the local product from Vestavia Hills will get a shot at taking over the center responsibilities. At tight end, Cedric Hampton, the Blazers starter for much of the past two and a half seasons, has completed his eligibility. Jordan Erwin (6-3, 245, Sr.) is coming off a solid spring and is listed as the starter at tight end. David Sigler (6-3, 250, Jr.) served as Hampton s backup at tight end last season but was moved to fullback prior to spring practice. Defense The Blazer defense, while the 4-3 alignment remains intact from the past three years, is sure to have some new wrinkles in 2006 as Rick Christophel takes over the defensive coordinator duties. Up front, UAB will feature one of the best group of defensive ends in the conference. Larry McSwain (6-1, 255, Sr.) will be starting for the third straight campaign. McSwain, who has been a firstteam all-conference selection each of the past two seasons, recorded 53 tackles in 2005 as he garnered a lot more attention after leading C-USA in sacks a season earlier. McSwain has already been tabbed to the Watch Lists for both the 2006 Lombardi and Lott Trophy Awards. Jermaine McElveen (6-5, 250, Sr.) and David Miller (6-3, 265, Sr.) could virtually be considered co-starters at defensive end after splitting time there in McElveen registered 26 tackles, including four tackles for loss and a sack last fall. Miller had 28 tackles with a pair of sacks and five tackles for loss. Kyle Bissinger (6-3, 255, Sr.), a former high school quarterback, has battled injury woes during his Blazer career but provides depth at the end position. Inside, Clarence Respress (6-1, 320, Sr.) is expected to take over the starting nose tackle spot that was occupied by his brother, Ernest, last season. It is also hoped that Jason Hamlin (6-2, 280, Jr.) can return to action after missing last season with a knee injury. The Blazers will look to Brandon Jeffries (6-5, 255, So.) and Jerrickus Speights (6-5, 255, Jr.) at tackle. Speights has moved inside after seeing limited duty at end last season. Jeffries and Speights will be looking to replace Sam Williamson, who was a constant force for UAB up front the past two seasons. A year ago, UAB was looking to replace three starting linebackers who were seniors in This season, the Blazers have all three starters back. Orlandus King (6-3, 215), Sr.), Mastaki Smith (5-11, 230, Sr.) and Marcus Mark (6-2, 230, Sr.) were regulars last season and combined for 171 tackles. King was the team leader in tackles with 85 while Smith ranked No. 3 at 60. King also contributed three sacks, six tackles for loss and a pair of interceptions. Providing solid backup help at linebacker will be sophomore Kris Guyton (6-3, 230), a C-USA All-Freshman Team choice in Guyton finished as the Blazer s sixth-leading tackler with 43 stops. Also, look for Joe Henderson (6-2, 215, So.) to see increased playing time. Henderson had 35 tackles in Gerod Condry (6-2, 220, Jr.), a former defensive back, also provides depth at the linebacker position. He saw limited action in 2005, contributing two tackles. The Blazer secondary lost some experienced performers through graduation in safety Dominique Cosper and cornerback Carlos Hendricks, along with part-time safety starter Julius Wainwright, but the UAB coaches are excited about the prospects in the defensive backfield for Team speed is expected to be an asset in the secondary, and for the defense overall. Cosper will doubtless be missed as his nose for the ball helped him to earn all-conference each of the past two seasons as he rang up tackle numbers of 172 stops. Hendricks was a regular performer in the secondary for most of the past three seasons. Carnell Williams (6-1, 205, Jr.) was a starter at corner down the stretch last season and finished the year with 22 tackles. Will Evans (5-9, 175, Sr.) has also seen starting duty at the corner position the past two seasons. Last season, he recorded 27 tackles with one interception. Kevin Sanders (5-11, 185, So.) saw his first action as a Blazer in 2005 at cornerback and gave signs that he has a bright future ahead. Sanders registered 15 tackles and a pair of interceptions last season. Brandon Carlisle (5-10, 180, R-Fr.) and Durrell Fuqua (5-11, 185, Jr.) are also expected to see action at cornerback. Fuqua saw most of his playing time at nickel-back for the Blazers in 2005, recording 20 tackles in At safety, Chris Felder (5-10, 185, Sr.) and Will Dunbar (6-1, 195, Jr.) will get their shots in the lineup. Felder, who was a highlytouted prep performer in Camden, Ala. and later starred at Butler (Kan.) CC, had 24 tackles last season. Dunbar, an aggressive hitter, made his mark initially last season on special teams but began to see increased playing time in the secondary at midseason. Dunbar went on to finish with 35 tackles. Brandon Register (5-11, 190, Sr.) and Carl Johnson (6-1, 190, Jr.) will also see action at safety. Register was a starter the early part of 2005 and had a pair of interceptions in the season opener at Tennessee. Johnson, meanwhile, saw limited duty but had a quality spring and is expected to see more playing time in Matt Taylor (5-11, 185, So.) provides depth in the secondary, especially in nickel-back situations. Taylor had seven tackles during the 2005 season. Special Teams The Blazers are hopeful of increasing their production from their special teams in Rodney Bivens will coordinate this unit after coaching the wide receivers the past three seasons. Parker Mullins (5-11, 180, Sr.) has been the Blazers starting punter the past three seasons, but in 2005, he also handled the regular field goal and extra point duties. Mullins averaged 38.6 yards per punt and connected on 14-of- 18 field goals. Swayze Waters (6-0, 170, So.) took care of the kickoff duties for the Blazers and served as the backup to Mullins as both the regular placekicker and punter. UAB is definitely looking for more contribution from its punt and kickoff return units. Last season, on 19 punt returns, the Blazers averaged only 5.9 yards per return. The team kickoff return average was 20.3 yards. Drinkard, Sanders, Evans, Mencer, Elliott and Burks are among the players who may see action at punt and/or kick returner. Chris Barrett (6-0, 235, Jr.) handled long snapper duties in 2005 while Jeff Hamby (6-1, 205, So.) took care of the short snapper responsibilities.

8 2006 UAB Football Notes Blazers Will Have New Quarterback In 2006 When UAB kicks off the 2006 season, the Blazers will have a new quarterback for the first time since the 2001 season. Aside from the last five games of the 03 campaign when he was injured and did not play, Darrell Hackney has handled the signalcalling duties for the Blazers. Hackney, the C-USA first-team QB last season, made 38 starts in his UAB career and finished 9,886 yards passing and 71 touchdowns. Senior Chris Williams is the only Blazer with any experience at UAB, having thrown 93 passes and totalled 640 passing yards in his career. Sophomore Sam Hunt, a transfer who has limited experience while at Middle Tennessee State, and redshirt freshman Joseph Webb also will contend for playing time at the quarterback position. UAB Hopes For Better Results In Close Games Close games turned out to be a nemesis of the Blazers in After compiling a record of over the previous five seasons in games decided by eight points or less, UAB was only 1-5 in those contests last season. Blazers Running Game Has Experience The Blazers certainly appear solid in the running game heading into the 2006 campaign. UAB has four seniors returning in the backfield, including Corey White and Dan Burks, both of whom have seen significant starting duty during their careers. White, Burks, and fellow seniors Marculus Elliott and Trey Chaney have combined for 4,464 yards and 32 touchdowns during their careers. Burks has accounted for 1,845 yards and nine TDs while White has 1,553 and 19 scores. UAB Has Depth And Experience For 2006 UAB has plenty of experience overall returning this fall with 51 letterwinners returning. The question marks are at quarterback, wide receiver and center where the Blazers have limited experience back. Christophel Returns To Defensive Coordinator UAB will have a new defensive coordinator when the 2006 season, but he s not totally new. Rick Christophel takes over the coordinator duties on the defensive side, but Christophel also served in that role during the 2001 season when the Blazers ranked first nationally in rushing yards allowed per game and fifth in total defense. McSwain Is Leader Of UAB Defense Senior defensive end Larry McSwain headlines the UAB defense. McSwain, who has already been named to the Watch List for the Lott Award for 2006, is a two-time, first-team All-Conference USA performer. Last season, he registered 53 tackles, including five tackles for loss and four sacks. Plenty of Blazers With Starting Experience A quick glance at UAB s personnel for the 2006 season may show that there are six returning starters on offense and six back on defense. However, a closer examination indicates that there are actually 13 other Blazers on the roster (9 on defense and 4 on offense) who have started at least one game in their career. Drinkard Is UAB s Most Experienced Receiver Norris Drinkard is UAB s most experienced receiver going into the 2006 season. Drinkard, who started more than half of the Blazers games last season, had 41 receptions for 390 yards (9.5 per catch) and two touchdowns last fall. For his career, he has 64 receptions for 655 yards. and four TDs. Drinkard also was the Blazers primary kick returner in 2005 as he registered 15 returns for 336 yards (22.4 yards per return average). Trio Of Senior Linebackers Return As Starters Unlike last season when UAB was preparing to replace three senior starters at linebacker, the Blazers have their full trio of starters returning at that position this season. Seniors Orlandus King, Mastaki Smith and Marcus Mark are all back in the fold after combining for 171 tackles last season. King, a third-team All-Conference USA selection in 2005, was the Blazers leading tackler with 85 stops. Lindsey Is Latest All-Conference WR To Depart For the second season in a row, UAB will be looking to replace an all-conference receiver. Prior to last season, the Blazers were looking to offset the loss of All-America wideout Roddy White, who caught 71 passes for 1,452 yards and 14 touchdowns in This time around, UAB will be without the services of Reggie Lindsey, who earned second-team, all-league honors in 2005 as he posted 53 receptions for 978 yards and 11 touchdowns. Watson Brown In 12th Season At UAB Watson Brown is in his 12th season at UAB (1995- ) and his 22nd overall as a head coach. Brown is at UAB and overall. Brown has been the primary architect of the Blazers rise from a partial-scholarship I-AA program to a full-fledged NCAA Division I-A team with membership in a major football league, Conference USA. The Cookeville, Tenn., native is a 1973 graduate of Vanderbilt, where he was an outstanding quarterback for the Commodores ( ). The 2006 season will be Brown s 34th season in the football coaching profession. His previous stops as a head coach include Austin Peay State ( ), Cincinnati (1983), Rice ( ), and Vanderbilt ( ). UAB Schedule Is A Formidable One UAB s 2006 non-conference football schedule is shaping up to be the school's most attractive, if not most challenging, in school history. The Blazers will play games against a pair of Southeastern Conference schools Mississippi State and Georgia and versus an opponent from the Big XII Conference Oklahoma. In addition, UAB will go against in-state foe Troy. The contests vs. MSU and Troy will be played at Legion Field while the Blazers will travel to Georgia and Oklahoma. UAB's 2006 Conference USA schedule will be a flip-flop of the 2005 league slate. It will include home games against Memphis, UTEP, Marshall and East Carolina with road contests at SMU, Rice, Southern Miss and UCF. UAB opens its 2006 season with a road contest at Oklahoma on Sept. 2.
