UAB improves to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in league action.
UAB football vs. Charlotte -- Oct. 15, 2022, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala.UAB safety Grayson Cash set the tone for the second half with an interception on the first play and sealed the deal with another pick on the opponent’s final opportunity of the game.
DeWayne McBride led the rushing attack, amassing 137 yards and 2 touchdowns on 29 carries, extending his touchdown streak to 12 straight games, and Jermaine Brown Jr. added 56 total yards on 16 touches. The Blazers answered on their second possession, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run by DeWayne McBride, but Matt Quinn missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt after UAB had 1st-and-10 at the 24-yard line of Charlotte. Hopkins took an unavoidable sack on third down, pushing UAB just inside Quinn’s threshold.
The Blazers forced their first three-and-out of the quarter on the ensuing Charlotte possession and cut into the lead on a 20-yard field goal by Quinn, capping a grueling 15-play, 50-yard drive. Charlotte was forced into its second three-and-out on the following drive and UAB ended the half with a 6-yard pass to Shropshire.
The junior quarterback may have made the most important play of the game on a simple 7-yard run out-of-bounds at the 27-yard line as Charlotte was pegged with a late hit on the play. UAB scored on the next play on a 14-yard touchdown run by McBride and Hopkins connected with Shropshire on the 2-point conversion attempt to put the Blazers up 27-20 early in the final frame.
