UAB’s Webb accounts for 6 TDs in rout of Fla. Atlantic
BIRMINGHAM (AP) — Joe Webb threw four touchdowns and rushed for two scores to lead Alabama-Birmingham to a 56-29 rout over Florida Atlantic on Saturday. Webb was 14-for-19 passing for 292 yards for the Blazers (4-5), while the quarterback also ran for 120 yards on 15 carries. He scored on runs of 36, 22, 24 and 17 yards. He also had rushing scores of 65 and 2 yards. Rashaud Slaughter rushed for 104 yards on four carries, including a 31-yard rushing score to give UAB a 35-14 lead in the first half. The Owls (3-5) cut the lead to 35-21 just before halftime on Jeff Van Camp’s 22-yard touchdown pass to Jamari Grant. But Florida Atlantic would get no closer as the Blazers answered with three straight touchdowns in the third quarter. Prairie View 33, Alabama A&M 27: KJ Black threw for three touchdowns and Prairie View survived a late rally by Alabama A&M. The Bulldogs’ only first-half score was a 42-yard rushing TD by Ulysses Banks. They trailed 24-7 at halftime. Jacksonville State 24, Southeast Missouri 3: Ryan Perrilloux threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns to lead Jacksonville State over Southeast Missouri. Perrilloux was 13 of 26 for the Gamecocks (6-3, 4-1 Ohio Valley). Alan Bonner caught a 54-yard touchdown pass. Troy 40, Western Kentucky 20: Shawn Southward ran for 140 yards and four touchdowns in Troy’s victory over Western Kentucky. The Trojans (7-2, 6-0 Sun Belt Conference) and the Hilltoppers (0-9, 0-5) traded scores until halftime. Jackson State 19, Alabama State 7: Bloi-Dei Dorzon rushed for a touchdown and had a 49-yard run to set up another score in Jackson State’s win. The Tigers (4-5, 1-5 Southwestern Athletic Conference) totaled 212 yards of offense in their first home win of the season, and fourth consecutive against the Hornets (3-5, 3-3). After a 46-yard field goal by Eric Perri, Jackson State’s Ryan Rich blocked a punt to give the Tigers the ball at the Hornets’ 2-yard line. Dorzon scored from 3 yards out for a 9-0 lead with 5:11 left in the first quarter. Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
