UAB Football Trivia Question -
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 -
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

Since you put "play" in quotations I'm going to guess it isn't from the offense. INT return, maybe?

No, & looking at the records, Chris Williams had a longer passing completion for a td.

Maybe. Does any interception stick out to you?

The only INT I can relive in my head is the one by Hiram Atwater against USM.

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.

Didn't Jackie Williams return a punt 70+ yards for a TD this last year? Maybe Tulsa?

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.

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.

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!
