Trent Dilfer is in his first season as UAB's head coach, and the former NFL quarterback had a rough afternoon on Saturday. The Blazers lost to Tulane, 35-23 and in the middle of the fourth quarter, Dilfer absolutely lost his mind on several of his coaches following a defensive penalty. He looked like a crazy person.
The play came with Tulane leading 28-20 with 11:58 remaining in the game. The Green Wave faced a fourth-and-2 on its own 28-yard line. UAB was flagged for illegal substitution for having 12 players on the field. That gave Tulane a first down and allowed its offense to continue the drive. Dilfer was not happy.
