  "account": "In a thrilling showdown at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the Memphis Tigers emerged victorious against the UAB Blazers, reclaiming the Battle of the Bones trophy. Under interim coach Alex Mortensen, the Tigers utilized a dominant second-half performance to secure a 38-13 win. The Blazers, led by first-year coordinator Todd Grantham, had held Memphis in check until halftime, scoring on the opening drive and holding a 13-10 lead with field goals from Jonah Delange. Memphis, however, turned the tide with a five-possession, four-touchdown run in the second half. Jaylin Carter led the way with 132 rushing yards, while Marcus Stokes connected on two crucial plays, including a deep 45-yard pass to Tychaun Chapman. The Tigers' defense shone, allowing only two touchdowns in two conference matchups this season. UAB, struggling with three turnovers, including one interception and two fumbles, will now face East Carolina in their first conference game of the season. Meanwhile, Memphis (5-1, 2-0 American) remains on the cusp of bowl eligibility for the 13th consecutive season, extending their longest active streak in the American.",
