South Florida staged a thrilling comeback to defeat UAB 35-25 after trailing 19-7 midway through the third quarter. Despite UAB's dominant early performance, including a 15-yard touchdown from Jalen Kitna to Amare Thomas, USF turned the game with 28 points in the second half. Jhalyn Shuler's pivotal third-quarter interception was a turning point, allowing Bryce Archie and Kelley Joiner to capitalize with crucial scores. UAB's offense, powered by Kitna's 384 passing yards, was thwarted by key defensive stops and a lack of successful conversions late in the game.
Kelley Joiner's outstanding fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a decisive 33-yard dash, underscored USF's triumph despite UAB's higher total yardage and possession advantage. Jonah Delange was perfect in field goals for UAB, but the Bulls' late surge proved too overwhelming as they passed and ran their way to victory in front of a home crowd at Raymond James Stadium.
