The UAB Blazers have added the Alabama A&M Bulldogs to their 2020 football schedule, according to a release by A&M on Tuesday.
UAB will host Alabama A&M at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala., on September 12, 2020. The game will mark the third overall meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
UAB and Alabama previously met at Legion Field during the 2014 and 2017 seasons, with the Blazers coming out on top 41-14 and 38-7, respectively.
