It took one play for UAB's defense to throw in the towel against Army.
The Blazers lined up offsides, and then watched Black Knights quarterback Bryson Daily blow by them for a 29-yard touchdown. After that first defensive play for the Blazers in a disastrous 44-10 loss, CBS Sports Network sideline reporter Tina Cervasio took stock of the situation.
"Right as Army scored the touchdown, I looked at the UAB sidelines," Cervasio said. "A lot of downtrodden faces. They just looked sad."
With the state of the program under Trent Dilfer, who can blame them?

The Blazers captured two conference championships, won three straight division titles and opened the brand new Protective Stadium.
That's the UAB that many of these players committed to represent. Instead, the Blazers are perhaps the biggest disappointments in college football.
Trent Dilfer inherited an ascending UAB program, but it's taken him less than two years to crater it
