Mike Irwin of Pig Trail Nation recently highlighted concerns regarding Taylen Green’s struggles ahead of UAB’s upcoming matchup against Arkansas. As UAB prepares for a crucial game, Green, the team’s starting quarterback, has been under the spotlight due to inconsistent performances in recent weeks. Irwin pointed out that these issues could pose significant challenges for the Blazers against a strong Razorbacks defense.
Green has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season, displaying his athleticism and ability to make plays with both his arm and legs. However, his inconsistency in decision-making and accuracy has been a concern for UAB’s coaching staff. Irwin noted that while Green has the potential to be a game-changer, his tendency to force passes and struggle under pressure has resulted in costly turnovers and missed opportunities.
“Green’s athleticism is undeniable, but he’s got to clean up his mistakes if UAB wants a shot against Arkansas,” Irwin said. “Arkansas will capitalize on those errors, and Green needs to be sharper in his reads and execution.”
One of the primary issues highlighted by Irwin is Green’s inconsistency on third down. UAB has struggled to sustain drives, often stalling in critical situations, which has put added pressure on their defense. Irwin pointed out that Green’s ability to improve in these situations will be key if UAB hopes to pull off an upset.
As UAB prepares for Arkansas, Green’s performance will be under a microscope. Irwin emphasized that this game could be a turning point for Green, either solidifying his place as a leader or exposing areas that still need improvement.
For UAB, success against Arkansas will largely depend on Green’s ability to rise to the occasion and overcome the issues that have plagued him throughout the season.
