Birmingham Weekly - Welcome to Legion Field...and another Birmingham Weekly live-blog. Matt Hooper here with you tonight. In case the NCAA is watching, this isn't going to be a "live" blog, the likes of which almost got me into trouble a few weeks ago. Read about it here: http://www.bhamweekly.com/2009/09/16/live-blogging-is-not-a-crime/

Regardless, we'll be bringing you as much action as we legally can from tonight's UAB-Southern Miss matchup. Joining me tonight is Jesse Chambers, editor of the Weekly's green space section and an avid football fan. We're doing quarter-by-quarter here. I've got 1st and 3rd, he's got 2nd and 4th.

Back with previews in a few...

6:59	Birmingham Weekly - So. Miss should be without star runningback Damion Fletcher for tonight's game...good news for a UAB defense that surrendered 56 points to an unimpressive Texas A&M squad last week.

7:02	Birmingham Weekly - As Blazer QB Joe Webb goes, so goes the offense. Can he repeat his remarkable performance from week one against Rice? Or will the Blazers' offensive slump continue? We'll know soon enough.

7:04	Birmingham Weekly - Southern Miss is undefeated in the series against UAB...9-0 all-time since 2000. Last year, USM defeated UAB 70-14 in Hattiesburg.

7:04	Birmingham Weekly - Southern Miss will kickoff and defend the South endzone.

7:05	Birmingham Weekly - UAB will begin their first drive of the game from their own 29 yard line following a 19-yard return.

7:05	Birmingham Weekly - Not a bad crowd tonight considering school's in session.

7:08	Birmingham Weekly - Joe Webb is finding a lot of holes in the USM defense, at least early on. UAB driving deep in Eagles' territory

7:12	Birmingham Weekly - UAB's drive stalls at the USM 11. UAB kicks a 27-yd FG to take an early 3-0 lead. 10 play, 61 yard drive.

7:14	Birmingham Weekly - USM will begin their first drive at their own 34-yd line
