UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 10:14 AM
What is the longest single scoring "PLAY" in UAB's football history?
What was the game, the play, & the yardage?
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - LairDweller - 02-03-2013 12:24 PM
i would guess that it came when we were up 5 with 0:01 left in the 4th quarter and UAB's opponent scored a 109 yard kickoff return...
or maybe thats just how a lot of games feel...
probably not what you meant, i guess
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:28 PM
Nope.
Specifically a scoring play by UAB.
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - BAMANBLAZERFAN - 02-03-2013 12:30 PM
Was it Hackney to Coon against Baylor?

Since you put "play" in quotations I'm going to guess it isn't from the offense. INT return, maybe?
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:35 PM
No, & looking at the records, Chris Williams had a longer passing completion for a td.

Maybe. Does any interception stick out to you?

Marquis Coleman pick-6 at UTEP?
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:45 PM

The only INT I can relive in my head is the one by Hiram Atwater against USM.
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:53 PM
That one was for 40 yards.
I didn't recall that Rodregis' interception against ECU was 91 yards.
I knew it was a good return, but not 91 yards.
That was one hell of a return though.
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - Smaug - 02-03-2013 12:53 PM
Didn't Jackie Williams return a punt 70+ yards for a TD this last year? Maybe Tulsa?
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:55 PM
Maybe. I forgot to consider records for this year. I'm looking at the media guide for prior to the season.
& of course we had a long pass completion against Tulsa to start the game.
I can't remember the yardage in that one.
Let me browse uabsports.com for some info.
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-03-2013 12:58 PM
Jamarcus Nelson had a 75 yard td from Austin against Tulsa.
Not showing a punt return for a td.

Jackie had a 79 yarder against Marshall, so that would be the 2nd longest punt return for a td.
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - LairDweller - 02-03-2013 03:06 PM
i was thinking about the 2002 fumble return against troy...i was thinking it was more like 97 yards
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - blazerwkr - 02-04-2013 05:47 PM
Didn't Reggie Lindsay have a long PR/KR as when I read the question I was thinking that might be the answer?

That was as beautiful as seeing a thought extinct bird, winning the lottery when you forgot you had even played, or getting a real face for a change from someone in our two-faced world, etc.
Thanks for the memory!
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - the_blazerman - 02-04-2013 05:57 PM
That was for 89 yards. (pass to Lindsey)
RE: UAB Football Trivia Question - - ATTALLABLAZE - 02-04-2013 05:58 PM
The Rodregis Brooks INT against ECU was the most impressive one I have ever seen in person.
