Army 45, UAB 28
BIRMINGHAM - Three games in a row, UAB was favored to win. They've lost all three of those games.
UAB led this one 21-14 at the half, but then the game got away from them. If you look at the stats, UAB did most things right. They won the total yardage battle. They had over 230 yards rushing and controlled the clock. They even had comparable passing yardage to Army, with 225 to Army's 299.
However, UAB had 4 turnovers to Army's 2. In addition, UAB had 6 penalties (losing 35 yards) to Army's 1 (5 yards).
"We gotta reduce the turnovers and penalties," said B.B. Gunn. "If we keep making mistakes, we're not going to win."
UAB's safety Warren Caban had a 69 yard interception return in the first quarter.
