UAB is scheduled to play their final home game of the season against USF at 3 p.m. ET. The school said in its statement that the players have elected to play the game despite the stabbing.
The 2025 campaign has been a difficult one for UAB both on and off the field. The team sits at 3-7 entering play Saturday, and their head coach was fired last month.
