Rod Robinson II romps for 202 yards, 3 TDs and UAB topples Temple 36-10
Philadelphia (AP) — Rod Robinson II shattered collegiate records with a stellar performance, rushing for 202 yards and scoring three touchdowns, as UAB edged out Temple 36-10 in a Saturday showdown. This marked UAB's first bowl-eligible season since 2022, as the Blazers compiled a formidable 366 yards on the ground. Robinson’s touchdown runs of 9, 33, and 54 yards showcased his dominance on the ground.
UAB's defense, which allows a paltry 306 yards per contest, stifled Temple's aerial assault, holding the Owls to a measly 244 total yards and just two successful third-down conversions in 12 attempts. Temple's quarterback, Ajani Shepherd, struggled mightily, completing just 11 of 30 passes for 85 yards. In contrast, Ryder Burton connected on 11 of his 19 passes for a reliable 133 yards for the Blazers.
UAB's reliable kicker, Jonah Delange, added two field goals, including the clutch 50-yarder. By halftime, UAB led 13-10, and the advantage was never relinquished as the Blazers solidified their 36-10 triumph. Curly Ordonez, Temple's stalwart defensive player, registered 12 solo tackles and a team-high 15 total tackles.
