Webb threw touchdown passes of 36, 22, 24 and 17 yards while adding touchdown runs of 65 and 2 yards. Webb would finish the day 14 of 19 for 292 yards passing and ran for another 120 yards on 15 carries.

Rashaud Slaughter rushed for 104 yards on 4 carries with 1 TD for UAB. The touchdown was a 31 yard toss sweep around the right end to give the Blazers a 35 – 21 lead going into the half. That would be the closest the game would get as FAU wouldn’t score again until early in the fourth quarter.

The Owls’ Jeff Van Camp would finish the day 24 of 36 for 254 yards with touchdown passes of 2, 22 & 15 yards and 1 touchdown run of 5 yards.

The Blazers improve to 4 – 5 on the year and FAU falls to 3 – 5. Next week the Blazers will travel to Memphis in another conference game. The Owls will host Arkansas State in a non-conference battle.
