Football Coverage from AFC East to NCAA FCS
The second rendition of the United States Football League kicked off with four Week 1 contests and a number of NCAA Football Championship Subdivision products took the field in Birmingham, Alabama. Here are five former FCS players who caught my eye during the first round of USFL games.
It started with a bang on Saturday and fizzled out over the course of Easter Sunday. The United States Football League is back nearly 40 years after it originated and Saturday's prime time opening affair between the New Jersey Generals and Birmingham Stallions registered solid viewership ratings across two major television networks.
The original USFL was much more than a springtime developmental league. Accounting for the NFL's closest competitor of the Super Bowl Era, the USFL featured highly-regarded talent.
With the relaunched spring league’s first games set to kick off in fewer than four weeks, the USFL 2.0 revealed Wednesday the rules that will be used.
