First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Blazers taking an early lead, scoring 7 points while the Hurricane managed only a field goal by Seth Morgan from 26 yards out. The opening quarter set the tone for what would be a competitive matchup between two evenly matched teams.

Ajay Allen also contributed significantly on the ground, rushing for one of his touchdowns during this period and helping TU take a temporary lead.


Third Quarter


However, momentum shifted back to UAB in the third quarter as they scored another touchdown while keeping Tulsa scoreless. Despite efforts from players like Devin Robinson who recorded an interception return of 14 yards and Joe Hjelle who added pressure with his sack on defense, TU struggled to contain UAB’s offensive drives.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw both teams exchanging blows but ultimately it was UAB that capitalized on key opportunities to seal their victory. Braylin Presley’s rushing touchdown kept hopes alive for TU fans but wasn’t enough against UAB’s relentless attack which added two more touchdowns before time expired.
