The day was downright epic, complete with a new single-game home attendance record.

Now comes UAB's first big test: A road trip to Ball State to face a Cardinals squad that was a missed field goal a week ago of taking Illinois into overtime in Champagne.
To look their best for their first road game in two years, the Blazers will be donning these ice-cold helmets on Saturday.
That ice for @UAB_FB #uniswag pic.twitter.com/faLzFrP6Ct
