Old School Meets New School
The Philadelphia Stars have overcome the injury to their starting quarterback early in the year with a strong finish and playoff win. Head coach Bart Andrus was hired for being a strong offensive mind. And Andrus delivered by putting his team in the USFL championship game with a backup quarterback. The Stars have won five of their last six games. The Birmingham Stallions proved to be the best team in the USFL to this point. The Stallions won their first eight games en route to the South Division...
Playoff time has arrived in the USFL, with the four best teams matching up at a new venue.

After eight weeks of play, there is only one question left in the USFL regular season. Will the New Orleans Breakers or the Tampa Bay Bandits be the last playoff team? The New Jersey Generals lead the North Division by two games, with two games to play. The Birmingham Stallions remain undefeated and the champions of the South Division.

Heading into Week-8, the New Jersey Generals and Birmingham Stallions are playoff-bound as the two division leaders and the class of the league. But the New Orleans Breakers should not be overlooked as a top wild card contender. And then the Philadelphia Stars have flashed enough offense to hold the final wild card position, with the Michigan Panthers, Pittsburgh Maulers, and Houston Gamblers right behind. Now let’s dive into the Week-8 matchups!...
Following a week one heartbreaking loss to the Birmingham Stallions in the final seconds, the New Jersey Generals have ripped off five consecutive wins to take the lead in the North Division of the USFL. Meanwhile, the Stallions are the undefeated leaders in the South Division. The New Orleans Breakers, Philadelphia Stars, and Tampa Bay Bandits are the top wild card contender. In comparison, the Michigan Panthers, Pittsburgh Maulers, and Houston Gamblers are wallowing in the misery of 1-5 starts...
The United States Football League has reached the halfway point of the season, and the Birmingham Stallions remain the class of the league. This week the undefeated Stallions host the Michigan Panthers, the most disappointing team thus far. The Tampa Bay Bandits are in wild card playoff position and will take on the Philadelphia Stars, who are 2-3 with little margin for error. The Pittsburgh Maulers are coming off their first win and will face a New Orleans Breakers team also in wild card positi...
The Birmingham Stallions have established themselves as the best team in the USFL. The Stallions are undefeated, but they play a tough brand of football that delivers in the clutch. Birmingham faces the Philadelphia Stars in an early Sunday game. Philadelphia has been good enough to stay in the playoff race but bad enough not to take full advantage of available opportunities to win games. Head coaches Todd Haley of the Tampa Bay Bandits, and Kevin Sumlin of the Houston Gamblers have to be frustr...
After three weeks of play, the Birmingham Stallions have proven to be the best team in the circuit thus far. Following their 22-13 win over the New Orleans Breakers, the Stallions have taken the point in the USFL standings. Birmingham has shown a complete look with toughness and resiliency in the first month of play. By contrast, the Pittsburgh Maulers are an unfortunate lot after three straight losses to start the year. Pittsburgh often looks like an outclassed, overmatched, and hopeless team. ...
After two weeks of action, the USFL quarterbacking play has been quite erratic. Bryan Scott of the Philadelphia Stars, Kyle Sloter of the New Orleans Breakers, and J’Mar Smith of the Birmingham Stallions have stood out. On the other hand, Shea Patterson of the Michigan Panthers, Jordan Ta’amu of the Tampa Bay Bandits, and Clayton Thorson of the Houston Gamblers have been abysmal. Last week the New Orleans Breakers stood out with a powerful 34-3 win over the Tampa Bay Bandits. New Orleans has taken the point as the most impressive team in the USFL. ...
