Birmingham Stallions vs. Philadelphia Stars

Setting the stage

A new era of professional football was born when the USFL kicked off in April, and after 10 weeks of regular-season action and one round of playoffs, things come to a close with the title game.

FIRST QUARTER

The Stars went three-and-out on their opening drive, while the Stallions used their first possession to take a three-point lead after a big gain from Bobby Holly set them up for an early field goal. 

Philadelphia was quick to fire back with a field goal of its own, tying the score at 3-3.

Things didn’t stay tied for long, however, as Birmingham found the end zone as the first quarter came to a close, thanks to the fancy footwork of Stallions running back Bo Scarbrough.

Bo Scarbrough’s 36-yard touchdown helped the Birmingham Stallions score the first touchdown in Sunday’s USFL championship game against Philadelphia.

With the score, the Stallions took a 10-3 lead headed into the second quarter.

SECOND QUARTER

Stars QB Case Cookus dropped a dime of a back-shoulder toss to wideout Jordan Suell to bring Philly within one point early in the second frame, 10-9.

On the ensuing drive, Stallions QB J’Mar Smith got in on the action, connecting with Marlon Williams on a 41-yard bomb to give Birmingham a healthy lead once again, 17-9.
