TULSA, Okla. (AP) --- Jevon Jackson rushed for two touchdowns, including the
game-winning score, and Jalen Kitna threw two touchdown passes in UAB's 31-24
win over Tulsa on Saturday, in the season finale for both teams.
Jackson put UAB ahead on a 3-yard touchdown run with 3:40 remaining, capping a
10-play, 90-yard drive. It was UAB's first lead since the 7:51 mark of the
second quarter.
The win is UAB's first road win since 2022 and comes after UAB player Daniel
Mincey was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and attempted murder
against two teammates in a stabbing incident prior to last week's game against
South Florida. UAB listed 39 players as out on Saturday, with many opting out
of playing after the incident.
Kitna found Iverson Hooks for an 18-yard touchdown midway through the first
quarter to put the Blazers (4-8, 2-6 American Athletic) up 7-0.
Hooks caught five passes for 46 yards and a touchdown. He finished the season
with 72 receptions, passing Roddy White for the third-most receptions in a
single season for UAB. He also finished sixth in program history with 927
receiving yards on the season.
Kitna found his second score to Brandon Hawkins Jr., tying the game at 17 in
the early third quarter. Kitna was 14-of-17 passing for 166 yards.
Baylor Hayes gave the Golden Hurricane a 10-7 lead on a 1-yard pass to Jewlyen
Roberts. He was 11 of 22 for 159 yards and an interception. Ajay Allen rushed
for 129 yards and a touchdown. Braylin Presley also rushed for a score and had
46 yards rushing.
