Louisiana Tech Bulldogs @ UAB Blazers
UAB beat La Tech 20-14 for 18th straight home victory
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Dylan Hopkins passed for 185 yards and rushed for 35, the UAB defense forced a late four-and-out and the Blazers beat Louisiana Tech 20-14 on Saturday for their 18th straight win at home.
UAB (8-3, 5-2 Conference USA) helped its chances at returning to the conference championship game by topping front-runner La. Tech (8-3, 5-2). The Blazers also got help from Western Kentucky, who beat Southern Mississippi (7-4, 5-2).
UAB has won every home game the past three seasons, the fourth-longest active streak.
Louisiana Tech forced a punt and took over at its 16 with 2:28 left and one timeout. On first down, Israel Tucker dropped a long pass down the middle with lots of space around him that might have gone the distance. And on fourth down, A.J. Brooks batted down a pass to the outside.
Aaron Allen was 16-of-34 passing with two touchdowns for La. Tech.
