BREAKING AJ McCarron named Stallions Head Coach

Con said:
I am pretty sure it was the kickoff to their regular season. The team the Stallions played was a new team.

The UFL moved three teams from last season: Columbus (OH) Aviators, Louisville Kings, and Orlando Storm. The teams from DC, Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, and Birmingham stayed the same.
This was the season opening game: Birmingham vs Louisville. Louisville pretty much outplayed Birmingham, but Louisville also committed three turnovers, and that was the difference.
Good to see McCarron on a sideline.

The UFL has made a few rule changes for this year:
  • FGs from 60+ are worth four points.
  • A receiver only needs to get one foot in bounds (basically the college rule).
  • No punting beyond the 50 yard line except in the last two minutes of the half. The offensive team must go for it on 4th down or try to kick a FG.
Players earn $6,400 per game, so your players are not up to NFL standard.
Still, it is the best football you can get in the spring.

Ok guys, I’m watching the halftime performance with Ludacrice and he either has an Alabama national championship ring on or an Atlanta Braves ring on. Anyone know which it is?

Edit: I feel pretty sure it is a Braves ring.
 
Birmingham's defense just could not get a stop in the last two minutes last night.
Houston kicked a walk-off FG on the last play of the game 22-20.

In the DC game Saturday night, the opposing QB got sacked, a DC d-lineman recovered the fumble, there was some question as to whether the d-linemen had been down by contact (some players stopped running as if the play was dead). The recovering lineman gets up and starts running toward the end zone (good) and holding the ball out for all to see ("Hey, ma, look! I recovered a fumble!"), not so good. An offensive player comes up behind the d-lineman, knocks the ball loose and recovers the fumble.

On the assumption that most UFL players are hoping to play well enough to earn an invite from an NFL team, this kind of sloppy showboating will probably not impress an NFL scout. Making a good play (recovering a fumble) is good. Then turning around and engaging in a low-rent showboating maneuver kind of negates the good play.

Yeah, they Stallions gave up a 4th and 6, AJ challenged a holding call that didn't get called. He won the challenge so it backed the ball up to 4th and 16 and they couldn't stop the pass. Then the Gamblers hit on another 4th down play. They had their chances for sure, just couldn't get off the field. Kind of sounds a little like the college team we pull for.

Yeah, sometimes you just need to dig down into your gut and do your job well. If all 11 players on do that, it is difficult for the offensive team to get a 1st down. If all 11 players on offense do that, they are hard to stop. It just boils down to who wants it more.
Which is the beautiful thing about sports.

Stallions look a bit middle of the road currently. They have had some success in red zone defense but the first two QB's they have faced roasted them on long passes and Matt Corral doesn't look like the answer at QB, not unless he can find some consistency. It's early but I believe there are way better teams in the UFL than the two they just played
