Overall: @
PCN02WPS: Good article. However, I feel as if there needs to be a citation at the sentence "It will be the second Bahamas Bowl appearance for the Blazers after losing the 2017 edition to Ohio by a score of 41–6; the Blazers will join Middle Tennessee and Toledo as the only teans to play in multiple Bahamas Bowls. In addition, this bowl will be UAB's final game as a member of Conference USA before moving to the American Athletic Conference in 2023".

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the
Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
1. Well-written The article complies with the manual of style guidelines.
Some prose corrections:
"UAB scored a touchdown on their ensuing drive and Miami was unable to respond..." There should be a comma before the word "and"
"UAB fell to Liberty in their first road game, but returned..." No comma is needed before the word "but"
"...began conference play with a road trip to Rice, but fell by four points." Again, no comma is needed before the word "but"
"A road loss at Western Kentucky by a field goal followed, and UAB dropped their next contest at Florida Atlantic by a field goal." This sentence, particularly the first part, feels clunky. It could be changed to something like "UAB then lost consecutive road games against Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic by a field goal."
"They earned a second conference win at Akron to finish October, but dropped their sixth game..." No comma is needed before the word "but"
"...Miami won 18–17 in a 4th quarter comeback to achieve bowl eligibility and the Bahamas Bowl bid." This sentence already mentions that the winner of the game would receive the Bahamas Bowl bid, so it feels redundant to repeat it in the same sentence.
"They opted to go for it, but were unsuccessful..." No comma is needed before the word "but"
"...; they entered the red zone on the next play with a 4-yard pass to the Miami 18-yard-line." This clause should be its own separate sentence
"...the first few plays of the second quarter, and faced 2nd & 7 from the Miami 28-yard-line after the next play, but turned the ball over on downs after three consecutive incomplete passes from Hopkins." There shouldn't be a comma both before "and" and "but," but this sentence should be rewritten and split up to not be as long.
"...after a sack on second down, and punted on 4th & 6;..." No comma is needed before "and"
"The ensuing kickoff resulted in a touchback and UAB took over on the 25-yard-line; two rushes by Brown earned the Blazers a first down and they gained another three plays later with a pass from Hopkins to Fred Farrier II." There need to be commas before both of "and"s, and I would take out the semicolon and make two sentences.
"...a half minutes to play and Matt Quinn's extra point bumped..." "...Miami into the red zone and Smith passed to Kenny Tracy..." A comma is needed before "and" in both sentences
"..., this put UAB in the lead by four points with 91 seconds on the clock." This part should be a separate sentence
"They earned a second conference win at Akron to finish October, but dropped their sixth game at home to Ohio following a bye week." This statement is not sourced
"Played at Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas, the game's weather at kickoff was sunny with a temperature of 81 °F (27 °C)." What is the source for the weather?
FN 4: "2022 Bahamas Bowl Final Stats". The weather is the last line printed on p.2: "Temperature: 81 • Wind: 12 north • Weather: sunny"
"The game ended at 2:54 p.m., after a total duration of three hours and 18 minutes, with UAB having won 24–20." Source for the time? I believe I saw it in ref. 4, so add that citation here.
