BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) A.J. Erdely threw his only touchdown pass of the day with just over two minutes to play, finding Logan Scott for the winning score and UAB Blazers beat Tulane Green Wave 31-24 on Saturday afternoon.

Late in the first half, UAB defensive lineman Garrett Marino recovered a Banks fumble near midfield - following a sack by Kristopher Moll - and ran 48 yards for a score, giving the Blazers a 21-7 lead at halftime.

Erdely threw for 180 yards and ran for a touchdown. Spencer Brown ran for 101 yards and a score.

Banks finished with 180 yards and two touchdowns for the Green Wave (1-2).
