Week 6 - Recap
UAB 34, Cincinnati 24

CINCINNATI - UAB dominated the second quarter with 20 points, then held off a fourth quarter comeback effort by Cincinnati to win their second straight game.

The Blazers' two starting tailbacks, Bobby Forbes and Moe Stewart, dominated the game. Forbes ran for 96 yards while Stewart had 99. Each back contributed 1 TD. Forbes was named the Player of the Game. QB Skip Nolan went 15 of 25 in the air for 142 yards and 2 TDs.

"Great game," UAB coach B.B. Gunn said afterwards. "You couldn't ask for a better performance from our backs. And what Skip is doing - not causing any turnovers - is phenomenal."

This is the third game out of four that UAB did not commit any turnovers. They have only one on the season, a pick in the Memphis game last week.

Cincinnati's QB Vincent Montanez was the bright spot for his team, passing for almost 300 yards on UAB's weak secondary, including 3 TDs, one of them an 82-yard bomb in the 4th quarter. However, Montanez also threw 2 crucial interceptions that possibly prevented the Bearcats (0-5) from staying in the game.

UAB improves to 3-1 overall, their best mark in a few years. They are 2-0 in C-USA.
