BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- In his second collegiate start, Austin
Brown bolstered Alabama-Birmingham to a 28-point halftime lead
as the Blazers earned their first win of the season - a 52-3
trouncing of Southeastern Louisiana Saturday.



A week after amassing 337 yards and three scores through the air
in a loss to Tulsa, Brown helped beat the Lions (2-4) by
completing 16 of 22 passes for 266 yards and a touchdown, all
before the half.



UAB (1-4) went on scoring drives of 68, 78, 59 and 56 yards in
the first half, and also scored on Marvin Burdette's 36-yard
interception return for a touchdown.



The Blazers' defense held Southeastern Louisiana to 125 yards of
offense, including just 47 yards on the ground.



Nathan Stanley was 10-of-23 passing for 78 yards for the Lions,
tossing one interception as the team totaled just nine first
downs.
