With a national audience watching, UAB defensive back Darrell Sweeting proved why he’s now playing in the American Athletic Conference.
Sweeting continued a strong start to his Blazers career, racking up four tackles (one for a loss) in Friday’s 24-20 upset of Navy. The Marshall transfer also broke up two passes in the comeback win, which aired on ESPN ahead of the Clemson-California game.
UAB entered play as a +6.5-point underdog for their AAC opener. However, the Blazers (2-2, 1-0 AAC) took an early fourth-quarter lead and held off the Midshipmen’s potent rushing offense.
