Week 7 Recap
UAB 24, Mississippi State 14
STARKVILLE, MS - Star RB Bobby Forbes ran for 2 touchdowns, and UAB put up 230 rushing yards on an SEC defense, as the Blazers defeated the Mississippi State Bulldogs on the road.
The game didn't have much offense at all, as the halftime score was 0-0. Then in the 3rd quarter, UAB (4-1) opened things up with a field goal and Forbes first TD. MSU (2-3) tried to come back in the 4th quarter, but UAB put up more points to keep the game out of reach and the win in their hands.
The player of the game, for the 2nd time this year, was UAB senior C Vernon Jordan, who created several key blocks for his running backs all game. QB Skip Nolan didn't have a great game in the air, but he certainly helped things by having a great game on the ground, rushing for 56 yards and helping to fill in for an ineffective RB Moe Stewart.
UAB now has a 3-game winning streak going. Their rushing offense is now ranked 16th in the nation, and in C-USA only TCU (who the Blazers play next week) have more rushing yards.
