UAB starting quarterback A.J. Erdely scored three first half touchdowns to jump out early on a UTSA team that couldn’t generate any results on offense. The Blazers continue to stride as they claim three straight conference victories while the Roadrunners trend downward for the second consecutive week.
The all-telling play of the game came on just the second play from scrimmage, when UTSA quarterback Dalton Sturm threw an interception to UAB safety Will Dawkins on what was just a bad pass.
UAB, set up at UTSA’s 28, turned the pick into a six-play touchdown drive to open up the game.
