The Philadelphia Stars won the first of two Saturday games of USFL Week 2, defeating the Pittsburgh Maulers 30-23.
Quarterback Bryan Scott was involved in all four touchdowns for the Stars, throwing for three and running for a fourth. At the other end, Josh Love threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions, the latter of which was a game-winning pick by Stars defenseman Channing Stribling. The Maulers completed 14 more games than the Stars, but their lack of red-zone efficiency came back to haunt them, as they netted in just one of two red-zone trips while the Stars netted all three when they penetrated deep into Pittsburgh territory.
The Birmingham Stallions take on the Houston Gamblers in the nightcap. The Stallions defeated the New Jersey Generals 28-24 last week while the Gamblers defeated the Michigan Panthers 17-12. Both want to be the first 2-0 team in the league this season.
On Friday night, the New Jersey Generals scored their first win of the season, beating the Michigan Panthers 10-6. All 16 points were scored in the first half and both teams missed field goals as they struggled to get things going offensively.
