Brown, Erdely help UAB beat Charlotte 28-7

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- A.J. Erdely passed for a score and ran for another and Spencer Brown had two rushing touchdowns to help UAB beat Charlotte 28-7 on Saturday night. Erdely was 13-of-16 passing for 214 yards with no interceptions and Brown finished with 18 carries for 68 yards. The Blazers (3-1, 1-0 Conference USA), who lost the first-ever meeting between the teams last season, have won a program-record nine consecutive home games. Erdely hit Andre Wilson for a 35-yard touchdown to cap the opening seven-play, 73-yard drive and Brown scored on a 2-yard run to make it 14-0 late in the first quarter. Erdely hit Collin Lisa for an 18-yard gain and connected with Austin Watkins for 8 yards on -- both on third-and-6 -- before his 4-yard TD run with 4:28 left in the first half gave UAB a 21-0 lead.
