00:00 UAB's Trent Dilfer tears into assistant coach after crucial penalty
00:04 UAB head coach Trent Dilfer was not a happy camper on the sideline during the Blazers'
00:09 35-23 loss to Tulane on Saturday afternoon, which dropped the team to 1-4 on the season.
00:15 Penalties were a plague for UAB during the entire game and Dilfer let his assistant know about it.
00:21 On 4th-and-2 with the Green Wave only up 8 points, UAB was called for an illegal substitution.
00:29 It resulted in a first down. Tulane didn't score but the Blazers were unable to come out of the
00:36 hole. Dilfer was seen on the sideline laying into one of his assistants. The Super Bowl champion,
00:43 who took over the program late last year, explained the situation after the game and
00:47 apologised to coach Bo Dawson. "During a moment of frustration and in an attempt to get our team
00:52 to play with more discipline, I unfairly singled Bo out," Dilfer said, via CBS Sports.
00:59 "Somehow Bo Dawson has been portrayed publicly as the culprit in this situation, when in reality I
01:04 should have been a better leader and shown great wisdom and discernment in how I handled this
01:08 incident. Overall, I could not be more proud of Bo and the rest of our team for how they handled the
01:14 emotional nature of each game they compete in." UAB committed three penalties for 12 yards.
01:20 He was particularly perturbed over the illegal substitution penalty.
