The Black Knights scored touchdowns in the third quarter after the Blazers missed a field goal and Gavin Shields picked off Jalen Kitna, with a 21-yard return putting the ball at the UAB 12.
Hellums capped the first drive, which covered 80 yards, with a 5-yard run, and the second with a 1-yard plunge. He scored on another 5-yard run with 4:10 to play, capping a 20-yard drive after UAB failed to convert on third down again.
Hayden Reed had a 3-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to cap an 18-play, 74-yard drive that took 10 1/2 minutes. The Black Knights (2-3, 1-2 American Athletic Conference) added a field goal with two seconds to go in the second quarter to lead 10-7 at halftime.
The Blazers (2-3, 0-2) had a 90-yard drive in the second quarter to tie the game, and a 79-yard drive to get a touchdown in the last minute. Kitna had a 1-yard toss to Xavier Daisy to tie the game at 7 and Ryder Burton scored on a 1-yard run.
Army had 247 yards rushing, 81 from Hellums and 54 from Reed, and just 48 on 2-of-5 passing.
