UAB falls to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in C-USA action, all losses coming in one-possession games.
DeWayne McBride celebrates his 68-yard touchdown run during UAB's 44-38 overtime loss to UTSA, Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala. That’s the season-long thought process when it concerns the impotence of the UAB football team and more evidence to support that claim came in overtime fashion.
Defensively, UAB collected only 4 tackles for loss, and a single sack, and allowed the Roadrunners a 9-of-15 third-down conversion rate. The Blazers were penalized 10 times for 63 yards, seven of which were false start calls.The UAB defense may have allowed the Roadrunners to score on four of their six first-half drives, but it stood tall in the red zone when called upon to keep the Blazers within striking distance.
The Roadrunners called up a bit of trickeration on the kickoff, recovering a surprise on-side kick at their 46-yard line, and quickly marched into the UAB red zone on passes to Franklin and Joshua Cephus. Facing a 3-and-2 at the 14-yard line, a Harris pass fell incomplete and UTSA settled for a 31-yard field goal from Sackett.Jacob Zeno made his second straight start for UAB and was outstanding despite a few inopportune mistakes.
