  "account": "Ja Vin Simkins scored twice in the fourth quarter, while Rod Robinson II amassed 101 rushing yards, leading UAB to a 23-12 victory over Charlotte on Saturday night. The Blazers, who had not won a home game since October, now boast a perfect record of 5-0 at Lamade Stadium. They are also in contention for a potential bowl appearance for the first time since 2022. UAB trailed by three points at halftime after Jonah Delange's 42-yard field goal tied the score. The teams traded field goals in the third quarter, with Delange adding a third from 42 yards in the fourth. Ja Vin Simkins sealed the win with a one-yard touchdown run at eight minutes left and a five-yard run with about two minutes remaining. The 49ers limited Charlotte to just 234 total yards.",
