The New USFL

[AngeloV]

Todays USFLs game in Birmingham between Pittsburgh and Michigan featured a 24-0 shutout for the Michiganders. While not able to see the the game itself, the boxscore showed the 2 Ex CFL QBs for Michigan average 2.9 yards per attempt. Pittsburghs QBs were not much better at 4 yards.
A trend I am seeing is that RBs have a higher yards per carry than that.
So is it great defensive play or horrible offensive play?

The league should look into going to 5 downs, or outlaw the forward pass.

Seriously though, I will give the league credit for this. Prior to the Stallions/Breakers game last night, Fox had a 30 minute show which really hi-lighted players (hey, there was no hockey last night). The CFL and TSN should be taking notes on that show. CFL needs to have their players hi-lighted like that.

I caught some of the first episode of that documentary series and thought it was quite good. Mike Riley's wife appears to be suffering from dementia and he mentioned to his players that she would be hanging around the team a lot as he needed to be close to her.
