UAB Blazers football statistical leaders explained

The UAB Blazers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UAB Blazers football program in various categories,[1] [2] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Blazers represent the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the NCAA's Conference USA (C-USA). The football program returned in 2017 after a two-season hiatus.[3]

UAB began competing in intercollegiate football in 1991. Entries on these lists tend to be dominated by more recent players, however, as regular seasons expanded from 11 to 12 games in 2002-03 and permanently in 2006. Additionally, the Blazers have played in three bowl games, the 2004 Hawaii Bowl, 2017 Bahamas Bowl, and 2018 Boca Raton Bowl, and also played in (and won) the C-USA Championship Game in 2018, giving that team a second extra game. Accordingly, the 2004, 2017, and 2018 seasons have a disproportionately high amount of entries.

These lists are updated through the 2018 season.

Sacks

During UAB's 2015–2016 football hiatus, the UAB Record Book did not list any sacks records.[1] The 2013 UAB football media guide recorded top performances in sacks,[45] and the 2018 media guide also does so.[2]
