BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Ryder Burton threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Rod Robinson II in overtime and Delvon Gulley followed with an 80-yard interception return to wrap up UAB’s come-from-behind 30-17 victory over East Carolina on Thursday night.
East Carolina (3-3, 1-1 American Conference) used 14 plays to march 75 yards on the game’s opening drive, scoring on Emory Williams’ 3-yard touchdown toss to Ray Ray Joseph Jr. for a 7-0 lead that held through the first quarter.
Dawson Quarterman recovered a fumble by receiver Ismael Smith Flores in the end zone after a 16-yard pass from Willliams and the Pirates took a 14-0 lead 47 seconds into the second quarter.
UAB (4-3, 2-1) cut it to 14-3 with six minutes left on Jonah Delange’s 41-yard field goal and the score stood at halftime.
UAB got a 26-yarder from Delange with 6:44 left in the third quarter and a 50-yarder with 1:26 remaining to get the Blazers within five points heading to the fourth.
Noah Perez kicked a career-long 43-yard field goal to stretch East Carolina’s advantage to 23-15 with 9:24 remaining.
Burton drove the Blazers 93 yards in 10 plays without a timeout, connecting with Bam McReynolds for a 17-yard touchdown with 35 seconds left. Burton ran it in for two points to tie it 17-all and force OT.
Burton completed 18 of 36 passes for 256 yards. CJ Smith had eight receptions for 119 yards.
Williams totaled 126 yards on 18-for-27 passing with two touchdowns and the late pick-6. TJ Engleman Jr. had 104 yards on 26 carries.
