JACOB ZENO NEWS

Productive versus Arkansas Zeno was 23-for-32 passing for 235 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 37-27 defeat versus Arkansas. He also had seven rushes for nine yards.

Impact Zeno surprisingly had his most productive outing of the season Saturday as he set season highs in completion percentage, passing yards and passing touchdowns. He spread the ball around the field, targeting three different receivers five or more times and tossing a touchdown to each one of those three. After producing in what was expected to be his toughest game of the season, Zeno will look to build off of that in the conference opener versus Navy after a bye week.

Struggles in Saturday's loss Zeno completed 22 of 32 passes for 167 yards and one interception during Saturday's 32-6 defeat versus Louisiana-Monroe. He also had 11 rushes for negative three yards.

Impact Zeno turned the ball over twice Saturday -- an interception and a lost fumble -- and threw for under 170 yards. It was a rough performance from him and one he will soon want to forget. Unfortunately for him he faces a much more difficult matchup at Arkansas this Saturday, so it's best to avoid relying on him in fantasy until conference play starts.

Impact Zeno put together a solid performance to start the 2024 campaign, highlighted by his two touchdown passes. He also added 37 yards on the ground, a mark he achieved only once last season. The only major downside to his performance was an interception he threw in the red zone during the second quarter, but other than that it was a clean outing. He faces two road out-of-conference opponents next before transitioning to conference play.

Starts spring game Zeno started for one side of the team's in UAB's spring game Saturday and completed 11 of his 16 pass attempts for 113 yards, Evan Dudley of AL.com reports.

Impact Zeno and Bryson Lucero both got a chance to start for the two sides under center in lieu of Dylan Hopkins, who is still recovering from offseason surgery. While Hopkins seems the likely favorite to retain the starting job entering 2022, Zeno could make a push with a strong showing in fall camp. At the very least, he may be positioned as the team's top backup quarterback following spring.
