The first ever USFL championship game took place between the Michigan Panthers and the Philadelphia Stars at Mile High Stadium in Denver on Sunday, July 17, 1983.
Philadelphia was coached by Jim Mora, who would later go on to success the NFL with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.
The stars featured a dominating defense that only gave up an average of 11 points per game.
The core of their offense was the running game of Calvin Bryant, who finished second to Herschel Walker with over 1,400 yards on the season.
Michigan was coached by Jim Stanley. The Panthers started the season with a 1-4 record, but then went on an 11-2 tear with the most powerful offense in the league, scoring over 25 points per game.
Their star player was local hero Anthony Carter, who finished with over 1,100 yards and an average of 20 yards per catch.
This audio recording is from the radio broadcast featuring announcers Dan Lovett and Paul Hornan.
It's title time in Denver. Hello again everyone. Dan Lovett speaking this Sunday night from Mile High Stadium, Denver, Colorado.
Fred Manfred calling the game tonight between the Michigan Panthers and the Philadelphia Stars.
Paul Horning here with us for the first USFL championship game.
Sunshine in Denver this evening as we approach the 6 o'clock hour. A threat of rain was here earlier this afternoon about an hour ago.
It's a warm day, but the dark clouds have moved to the northeast. We're going to have a perfect football night.
A crowd which could surpass 45,000 will watch here at Mile High Stadium tonight. The first championship game in the United States football league.
The Philadelphia Stars, the Michigan Panthers, they have reached the payoff game. The Stars advancing to this championship game with one of the miracle finishers in pro football history.
Last weekend, 44-38 win over the Chicago Blitz and overtime. Jim Morris Stars scoring big to capture the initial playoff game in this league after trailing 38-17 with 12-04 remaining in regulation time.
Philadelphia, scoring a 16-3 record this day, which is the high-water mark of all teams in this league. Michigan's road to the Rockies.
It came on that 37-21 win over the Oakland Invaders as the Panthers turned away the Pacific Division champions with a solid air game and a ground attack before the United States football league record crowd of 60,000 plus in the Pontiac Silver Dome.
Well, they tell us some 3-4,000 Panthers. Their fans have made their way here to Denver to support Jim Stanley's team that enters this game with a 13-6 record.
So here we are after an 18-game regular season plus a playoff weekend. The United States football league is ready to produce a champion.
For the most part, it has been a successful first season. No checks found. All pay roads were met. No franchises folded. Commissioner, check them out.
I think we have an awful lot to work to do. There's no question that this league is going to take several years more to prove what we all believe we can do is be successful playing football in the spring and summer.
But I think our accomplishments today have been chronicled and I think we've done the kind of job that we hope to do and maybe even better.
I think we're all looking ahead to 1984 and then maybe 1994, Dan, also.
Check them in, Commissioner, the United States Football League is the fifth in the sunshine waiting for the kickoff here tonight between Michigan and Philadelphia.
Yes, they have awarded another franchise, another team for 1984. They have done it here in Denver this evening.
The 18th franchise will be located in Memphis, Tennessee. The Liberty Bowl, seating 50,000.
Memphis becomes the sixth expansion franchise to be awarded by the USFL for the 1984 season. Franchises previously announced Pittsburgh, Houston, Calc, Jacksonville and San Antonio.
Well, we have brought to many of the league's coaches who are here in Denver this week, quizzing them for their thoughts, their predictions on tonight's game.
First though, an observation from the player who in the years to come is going to be a short trivia question.
Boston breakers kicker Tim LaZetti, who scores the first ever points in the USFL.
Who do you like in the game tonight here at Mile High Stadium? Tim LaZetti, Michigan or Philadelphia?
Why? Okay, if you take your hand out of my pocket, Dan, I'm going to give you a free game tip. I like Michigan.
And the reason being, they have been the team to beat over the last, I'd say about 10 weeks. And not taking anything away from Philadelphia, Michigan's Bobby Ebert is, I think, is right now the hardest quarterback in the league.
And he's got a beautiful touch on the ball. And I'm going to go with Michigan.
Now here's Raleigh Dodge, head coach, Birmingham Stallions. Raleigh, who do you like in the game tonight at Mile High and why?
Dan, I think, first of all, I think the cream of the crop is here. I think the two best teams in our league are playing tonight.
And I think that many times that doesn't happen in playoff competition. I like Michigan. Michigan has an edge in offense.
I think they have a big playoff offense. They have Anthony Carter, Bobby Ebert, I think is probably the hottest quarterback in the league right now.
They have a very fine offensive line. The running backs are strong and they're capable of a big play.
When you put the court in, Dan, I have to go with Michigan. I think that they will outscore Philadelphia.
Now here's Dick Curry, head coach, Boston Breakers. Ready for the big game tonight at Mile High Stadium. Who do you like, Dick, and why?
I think it's going to be an awfully good football game. I really believe those are the two best teams in our league.
And I think that both are very well coached with some good players. I look for Philadelphia, maybe, to win in a real close game.
That was Dick Curry, head coach of the year from the Boston Breakers in the USFL.
Now here's Steve Spurrier, the Tampa Bay Bandits with a look at tonight's game between Michigan Panthers and the Philadelphia Stars.
Who do you like and why, Steve?
I think it's a pick-up game. The way the gamblers have said it's supposed to be. Michigan's own paper, I think, looks a little bigger and stronger.
Up front, they're slamming a little larger than Philadelphia's maybe, but you can't sell Philadelphia short. They find a way to win the football game.
They've got a lot of crutch players who just believe they're supposed to win. Sometimes that's half a battle.
Now with this, one of the newer coaches coming into the league in 1984, the expansion franchise, the Houston Gamblers, is Jack Pardee.
I see again, Jack, who do you like tonight and why?
Well, I'm not really great at picking teams that have proven that in the past, but I'd kind of like Michigan as a better team.
I felt they played the best football in the last two months.
With us now here in Mile High Stadium, Denver tonight for the first championship game, United States Football League, head coach of the Denver Gold, Craig Morton.
Old friend of ours was with us on many broadcasts on ABC throughout the season, talked a lot about football.
Let's see if he can give us the outcome of the winner tonight here between the Michigan Panthers and the Philadelphia Stars.
Maybe I shouldn't pick a team, but to say that I think what's happened is that the credibility and the two teams are the best teams that should be in the championship game.
And I think it's going to be a great game.
I would have thought before the outcome of the Chicago Philadelphia game that probably Michigan was the best team.
But after Philadelphia's outstanding comeback, I don't get anything's possible.
Craig Morton, head coach, Denver Gold, here in attendance tonight at Mile High Stadium.
Show you've heard how some of the coaches feel about this one.
We're now going to take a break down the line here on the free game show this Sunday evening in Denver and we'll be back to continue.
This is the ABC Radio Network.
Here at Mile High Stadium now, playing the national anthem, his Al Hurt.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO K health, but we can also say that he's expected us to put on some good cha dessert.
We had it with a lot of good news, of course, he has.
There you go.
It was played our national anthem at a couple of Super Bowls down in the middle of the
game.
Paul Horning, of course, good friends with Al Hurt and he's going to be aboard with us
here at Halftime tonight on our broadcast from Mile High Stadium.
As I said with us here tonight for the first USFL championship game, the real disciple
of discipline, Paul Horning, certainly no stranger to championship games.
Paul was there, wasn't he, for the first ever Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Coliseum,
January 1967, those Packers in Kansas City, T. Paul, great to have you with us.
It's been a super season.
There were 61,000 plus in attendance.
That's Sunday in 1967 when the Packs up the field, you were dressed out.
It was not a sellout.
It was not a sellout, Dan.
It was an exciting game for the Packers.
Of course, we were playing the AFL for the first time.
They didn't expect a sellout in the Coliseum in Los Angeles and we went on to beat Kansas
City's coach by Hank Stram.
They did it kind of easily in the second half, but it wasn't a sellout.
Of course, look what has grown out of that first game.
The Super Bowl is probably the biggest extravaganza.
I think this week here in Denver, you've got to take your hat off and credit the USFL.
They have done just a fantastic job in getting around this city, getting the people behind it.
There are about 50,000 seats sold.
Denver is not in this championship game and I think it's a credit to the league that we have 50,000 people here today.
Well, Paul are calling it a pick-up game.
That's exactly what it is.
What does that mean, Dan?
Does that mean it's even?
It is a pick-up game, folks.
It's a dead, straight, flat, even game, as they say.
Everybody, then, that you've interviewed so far, seems to like Michigan.
Everybody seems to like the Michigan Panthers.
Usually when that happens, sometimes the other team sneaks up.
Now, look, the Philadelphia Stars have the best record in the USFL.
They were 15-3 during the regular year.
They've got the biggest offensive line in professional football.
They haven't been playing up to their potential in the last four or five weeks, but they could.
Now, folks, you're hearing from people in the background.
We have some paratroopers just skydiving right into the middle of the 50-yard line,
and they are absolutely fantastic.
But anyway, getting back to the Philadelphia team, they are one of the best teams in the league,
and as some of the coaches on Dan's interviews said, the best two teams are here.
The best two teams are here.
They're ready to play, and I think it's going to be a close-up football game.
Who do you like?
I like, I like, I'm going to have to go along with everybody else.
I like Bobby A. Berry.
Boys, do you remember back to the third or fourth game I got on his fan wagon right away?
I think he's a plan young quarterback.
He can throw it long.
You've seen, of course, one of the great quarterbacks out of Penn State.
He was 29-3 at Penn State.
He has the best record in the USFL.
You can't count him short.
He can't throw it as good long as Bobby A. Berry.
But I'll tell you one thing.
It could be a pretty good football game, but I think Michigan might be coming into this game a little bit better.
Okay, Qual, well, these two clubs had a heated three-season scrimmage, then played at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia on June 5th.
Stars won at 29-20, the last time Michigan lost in fact.
Panther linebacker John Corker.
They've been a good ballclub all year long.
They've done a lot of things offensively and decently.
They feature a lot of good athletes.
In Kelvin Bryant, offensively, I'm speaking of, Siskietta Wild receiver, a sustainer, a quarterback.
And 22 there, other running back.
And these guys, they can hurt a ballclub in a lot of ways.
They've been playing great football all year long.
So we're really expecting this to be a great football game.
Last time we encountered this ballclub, they did a lot of things to offset what we do best.
And that was good after the passer.
And they were able to get us off in their own drops with our linebackers and capitalize with the way receivers are going underneath on four or five-yard pass patterns.
And it's really hurt our ballclub in a lot of parts of football games.
Linebacker John Corker, Michigan Panther.
Here on the free game, we pause down the line 10 seconds for State Tonight Edification.
This is the ABC Radio Network.
Here's Jim Laura, head coach, the Philadelphia Stars, with Paul Horning and I here tonight as we get ready to watch him hook him up in the big one.
He's going to play the big game in the USFL, Horning.
Well, I'd just like to ask Jim, first of all, congratulations.
You've had a great year.
And you got one more to go.
Is your team a little uptight or are they loose?
Because I think this team could possibly be kind of loose.
Well, thanks for the congratulations, Paul. It's great to be here.
If I had a class bar team right now, loose or tight, I'd say we're more on the loose side.
I hope it's not a false reading, but I've been around him two or three times this year and they have been a little uptight and we haven't played good.
So I hope we are a little bit loose.
I think it's important to go into this game with that feeling.
Well, Kelvin Bracken pressed me all year long.
He seems to be just a pretty minute running back of the league.
He's at the best here.
And I guess we're going to see a lot of Kelvin Bracken tonight.
Kelvin will play it down to.
We might give him the ball once or twice.
He's a great back and he's a great kid.
That's the best thing about him.
He's a tremendous team guy.
I'm very unselfish player and got a world of talent.
Paul, you know, Jim Moore, the Philadelphia Stars open the season, right?
You're in Denver and they're closing.
That's right. We opened here on March 6th.
It seems like about 10 years ago, but it's been fun.
It'd be nice to close out and say one-e-note tonight.
Jim, it's been a great year for you.
The credibility of the league, Paul, as he brings in the best record.
You know, we've said that all along.
I think the league has got some unjust publicity throughout the whole year.
And I think this week is proven.
I want to ask you one question about Michigan's defense.
What are you going to do with the Brits with Parker?
With Parker?
Well, you know, we're going to try to keep him off balance.
You know, you can't just change everything because of one guy,
but we're going to try to keep him off balance.
And, you know, I'm sure they're looking at some tendencies we've had.
We're going to try to break some of our tendencies and run when we're supposed to be throwing.
We're going to try to run when we're supposed to be running.
And hopefully we'll block him once or twice, too.
Well, either he's anxious to play the game, we're ready to do it.
So congratulations to Jim Moore and the Philadelphia Stars.
Now, Paul, here's the head coach of the Michigan Panthers.
They favor him in this one, the first United States Football League championship game.
Jim Stanley, head coach and have a go at those stars.
A lot of folks like his chances here.
Well, I do too. I think he's got the best team going in.
I don't think Philadelphia's really played up to this for such a last few or four weeks.
It means that you've got your team right, chewing at the bit.
We've been pretty lucky. I think that, you know, overall our team has progressed at about this stage.
You'd like to have a go.
I think our chemistry of our team has been good all year.
We started out with probably more rookies than anybody in the league.
We were able to cross some people with some youth that helped us along.
Our Don Brooke, McGrift, Penny, all down the line that gave us some leadership that we had to have.
Jim, you lost to this club.
Was your last loss, 29-20? It's a different field. It's a whole different situation.
I know you're looking at it that way.
I think we've probably improved a great deal since then.
In many ways, defensively, we've got two people with us that wasn't there at that time.
I think that, you know, we've probably made more progress than most people up until now.
I know for that, regularly, but more because of me, but because of the players and the system.
I think overall, Philadelphia's improved a great deal too.
We had the momentum going and I think it's slid back a little bit.
Certainly, if you have your relish, you'd rather have it come along a little better each week.
We've had some of it.
There's an accident for football. It's speed kills.
If that's so, it seems as if Michigan has got a little bit more speed as the skilled positions.
You feel that way?
Well, I do. I look at our team and look at theirs and of course, they size it up.
That's the car we can run like a deer.
Of course, Bobby Aver has the arm to go deep.
Another quarterback is the winner. He's a good person.
I don't think he has a great arm to go deep.
They have pretty good speed on the flanks, but not quite as much as we do.
He may come out today and bomb us, no rest there, but I look at that going into it.
What they heard us on the floor was the short drag across going three wide receivers.
We dropped off and played the long run. We didn't catch too many underneath.
I really don't think you can do that every time. You've got to play sound, but I don't think you can do it every time.
We've got to go over the man and man and get up and press him and invite him to go deep and see if we can take care of that.
I've got the best two teams in the USFL in this game, and I think that's good for the fans.
I think it's good for the country. We just want to wish you a lot of luck.
It should be a good one. I appreciate that, Paul.
There he is. Jim Stanley, head coach of the Michigan Panthers, along with Jim Moore here tonight.
Paul Horning and I visited prior to the game, getting ready now for this kickoff between the Scars and the Panthers.
We're trying to get a feel for this crowd as to who they're leading towards.
I guess we're going to have to stay Michigan at this point, although the Philadelphia Scars did get a very fine reception here.
We're waiting now for another skydiver to come in here to Mile High Stadium.
He's bringing the game ball with him this time.
Brett Manfred standing by to get ready to make the call of tonight's championship event.
Each member of the winning team, by the way, will receive a minimum of $6,000 tonight,
while each losing team member will net a minimum of $3,000.
Of course, both clubs earned $3,000 each for winning last week's semifinal playoff game.
So the fans here at Mile High Stadium, we're guessing in the neighborhood of $45,000 or better tonight this Sunday evening,
here near the Colorado Rockies, waiting for this skydiver to hit around the 50-yard line they've got at Mark.
Waiting for the game ball to get here. If he doesn't get here, we'll be held up for a while.
Now let's get ready for the play-by-play.
And Brett Manfred has got a little bit about the points last tonight, and Paul Horning's waiting to go.
Great season, great way to cap it off, Brett.
Thank you very much, Dan. Love it.
Well, follow back on March 6th.
This whole thing began and we're expected that the crowd here would be about $45,000.
A new venture, a lot of people speculating that the league wouldn't even last that long.
That's right. They didn't even know where they were going to play this USFL first championship game.
And I think they picked a good site.
The Denver fans deserved it. They showed up this year and supported the Denver goal.
And they said this would be a good spot for it. The weather's been just absolutely sensational.
And we're waiting for a member of the High Freedom Parachute Club.
They've been sensational here, Brett.
He's going to parachute into the 50-yard line and bring the game ball.
Now, Paul, back a couple of weeks ago, there's the two teams that we have here tonight.
Some of them have been Michigan, met back at the vet. Artificial surface back there.
The Michigan Panthers were red hot.
As you mentioned a little earlier, the Philadelphia Stars have been playing so-so for Paul.
Just enough to get by and, so and behold, the Stars win 29-20.
Well, of course, that is completely forgotten if you're a member of the Michigan Passers.
And I'm sure that the head coach is fellowed out.
He has been saying that to his players.
Look, forget what happened before, boys.
All that proves is we know we can win.
It's all up for grabs. Anything can happen.
We're going to have to play our best to beat Michigan today.
And of course, Stanley on the other side of the coin is saying,
look, let's don't get too cocky.
We're coming in at this game's fifth.
We've been playing well lately. Let's just keep it up.
Of course, my high stadium used to be a triple-A baseball.
Then we're playing here.
And there's a skin part of the infield normally.
But last week, that infield skin was spotted in,
and we can see the outline of the infield to our left.
What part do you think that might play,
considering the majority of the left part of the field is...
I think they've done a sensational job with the field.
The baseball field is covered up. It's been started.
But it looks beautifully. It's green.
And this is the way the game should be played on that.
So this is the way I think
physical, professional football people would like it.
Now, we mentioned earlier,
both teams play on artificial turf.
Of course, Michigan and Pennsylvania don't fill it up yet.
But that will not have any bearing on the play tonight
if they're playing on natural field.
I think the seed in the skill position
maybe Michigan has that edge.
We're going to have the edge on this natural turf too.
The seed is still king.
So to speak, Fred, in professional football,
all professional sports.
The seed is really what I think coaches are more feared about.
They're feared of a guy like Anthony Carter,
who'd wake up on,
break a kickoff.
We might see him on a kickoff tonight.
So now we're going to have the coin toss
in the middle of the field.
A new U.S. Olympic commemorative coin
is being used for the official coin toss.
For this U.S. F.L. Championship game,
the referee is Bill Parkinson.
This is the head.
This is Phil.
Phil.
All the coins are going to go to the top.
He calls Phil.
This is a calling to Phil.
He's going to say,
help, help, help.
Go it off.
Go to the top.
So what about you?
When's the calling for us?
The cars over there,
they think that that's an omen for things to come.
Well, I think they like to get that football
as quickly as they can into the hands
with a gentleman that put 44 on his back.
The jerseys belong to Calvin Bryant.
What a year Calvin Bryant has had running the football.
1,400 yards.
Every 4.5 a carry.
He's also caught 53 passes for 410 yards.
He's just been sent there.
Now Paul, we saw a new wrinkle in that
Philadelphia backfield last week in the overtime.
They agree a young fellow, Alan Harvin,
playing in the backfield for the first time
simultaneously with Calvin Bryant.
In fact, he had 681 yards rushing on the year.
So that gave the running back position,
the same running back position over 2,000 yards rushing
from Philadelphia.
But Harvin was here so successful in last week
with Calvin Bryant.
They're going to start them both today.
And why not?
This is the last game of the season.
He's got the best two running backs.
He's got in there with each other to compliment each other.
What is it about just you see that?
Despite the fact he lacks a lot of physical tools,
he still wins football games.
Absolutely.
And a pro-paternal rethex of the best county
to go to America says he's a great quarterback.
All he does for you is win.
That's good enough for me.
He was 29-3 at Penn State.
He's 15-3 during the season.
And what a game he had in the second half.
He brought Philadelphia back from to a 44-
What was it?
44-38 win in overtime last week with Penn Station.
And they were completely out of it down by 21 points.
And you see, it was just spent that.
You know, in their fourth quarter,
the stars did not allow the Chicago Blitz to first down.
Well, defense played a big part in.
There was no question about it.
Even though it was 82 points, Philadelphia had to come through
on defense to get the ball back.
And they got to ball five times in the fourth quarter,
and they put points on the board every time.
Michigan kicking off from right,
the left across the radio to aisle.
Suckers foul, no-boy-boy-over.
The pappers wearing the white uniforms for visitors
by designation.
Back to standing at the one-yard line.
Harvard had one kickoff return against the Congo last week
for 23 yards.
He's had it instead of a 23-yard return.
Get coming to the new side,
bounding on a bound with about the five.
Flag down will have the kickover five yards back.
Of course, it's still like to start it off that way.
It'll be a five-yard penalty,
you'll put it back at the 30-yard line and re-kick.
That's what this is for.
But your defense did not want to kick it down in Harvard,
who was the deep man right back at the five to four-yard line.
Now they'll move up five more yards
on the five-yard penalty.
Looks like he's trying to kick it away.
Well, Harvard's Harvard's fourth-best kicker
of the USFL during the regular season,
averaging 23.3 yards of return as long as this year,
67 yards.
He went to the University of Cincinnati.
The illegal procedure is called being made
against the Michigan pappers.
So the ball will be brought back to the 30-yard line
down below us.
And no-boy-over who wears a white shoe on his left foot
and a black shoe with a white strength on his kicking right foot
has the ball feet up and he will approach it again
and try to really muscle it this side.
Saving back at the four-yard line is Harbin the C-turn.
He can fly.
Boy-over, fixes.
High coming to Harbin backing up at B2.
Harbin straight up over the five.
Standout, side-right at the 15 to the 40 to the 25.
Harbin jumps over to the attacker at the 30-yard line
out of arms of Harbin.
He's side at the 32-yard line.
A 30-yard return for Allen Harbin.
The USFL Playbook Game No. 1 is underway.
Don Ackles making his tackle for the Michigan pappers.
Start it off, I think, without a mention.
Fred, there is a little bad blood between them.
Oh, I mean, why the bad blood?
They had a scrimmage that resulted in a lot of fisticuffs.
And Coach Jim Morris said that the Michigan Coach Jim Stanley
allowed his players to go out of control.
And they have had a lot of talking back and forth between each other.
So it's pretty intense.
So someone help you.
That's a good shot, though.
Three-four defense right away.
Philadelphia goes into the shot, son.
Three wide receivers in motion to the left side.
It's Tom Donovan.
He's back back to Cicina.
Cicina blocking the 41.
Locked it up inside the...
Elvin Bryant flying over the 30.
Tackled at the 30.
Cicina playing the play up to the 35.
Making his tackle for the Michigan pappers.
Down there, John Corker.
Corker misses that.
Getting Elvin Bryant down around the ankle.
Tackled by John Corker.
John Corker, of course, leads the league
as the landbangers and backs.
He's got 28 backs on the year.
And he's prevented Calvin Rappers
from thinking up a big first down on the screen
to the left side.
Corker.
And on the other side of the corner, Sam Mills.
Two landbangers.
Two off-roads.
Going against each other today.
Second and sixth to Philadelphia.
From there on 35.
Cipolle, Wigis, Cicina, Gromps, Cicina.
He's seen a one-to-one commitment.
Another shot on the fly.
38 yard line.
That's it.
Tackled after 38 by Robert Pennywell from Bramley.
Pennywell, an experienced linebacker.
The number-six graphic of Sam Mills
is going 76.
But he played.
He was going just standing in his letter
from 1976 to 80.
That little pressure on Cicina, that concept,
up inside the rush, got it to his back.
Number 44, Calvin Bryant, a little safety belt.
That's third, about two.
Little over two for the first down.
Rollback behind Cicina is Calvin Bryant.
Double wide-receive.
That's single wide-receive.
A right on the third and two.
Cicina just opened the third plate.
Five, Cops lost the fast-on.
Hays to three.
Intended for Scott, this year, the 25-yard line.
50.
Depended by Clarence.
Scott then extended himself.
Planned to get them all over the goal.
Philadelphia star, gambling here in the first series.
Third and two all year long.
They've got the biggest offensive line in the USFL.
They've got one of the best rushers.
The number-two rusher in the USFL.
He's back in a double wing, and they throw the ball on first two.
It's Sean Lanzetta, who did not come last week in the playoffs.
He gets this first opportunity.
He has a better than 41-yard.
The six-to-two lead to Anthony Carter at the 20-yard.
Lanzetta from outlays.
He powers the ball.
Going back to the five-yard line and watching the ball hit it for goal-wise.
And into the end zone, we have the defense for the Michigan passes.
Jerome Selly and Anthony Carter of the ball.
The center of the end zone, it will come out to the 20-yard line.
61-yards front.
He kicked that football 71-yards in the air.
Sean Lanzetta has a 4,000-state in Maryland.
And we have a timeout.
So they've got timeout in our USFL game.
Just underway here.
No score.
We'll be back to the USFL final game after this.
13-04 to play in the first quarter.
The United States Football League championship game, Michigan, with the ball first and 10th.
What are their first offensive positions?
Michigan's going to have to go against the same type of a defense.
They'll probably have a three-man front with four linebackers.
Sandmills, the linebacker on the inside for Philadelphia, is an off ball.
He leads his team in tackle.
John Carter for Michigan does the same thing Nils does for Philadelphia.
There are two outstanding young linebackers that probably will see both off ball.
John Williams not starting tonight for the Michigan batters.
And then the backfield Miller at running back. Also in the backfield, Ken Leasey.
He's hundreds with wide right, right, right.
Connolly, wide left.
The refs are probably going to be there to find looking for the back.
Out of Louisiana.
Head off, late-time of Miller.
Miller's cutting off over the 24th.
Still in the sleep.
Being caught back to the 20-yard line, the field giving progress for a four-yard game.
I've talked to George Dixon.
He's the offensive coordinator for Michigan with Jim Sandley's coaching staff.
He said, Paul, no question about it.
He's got a great Tom Dornbrook and Ray Penny.
Three former Pittsburgh Steelers.
He's turned our offensive line around and it's made a young A-bred.
That's what it is.
So Miller is four yards away.
I'm going to make that the second and sixth for Michigan.
From the batters, 24-eight.
There was Carter, wide right.
Connolly, wide left.
And off left side, Leasey.
Leasey, a five-yard left.
He's about to go to the 25.
That's the first down of the 31-yard line.
I go down there at the 31.
By Mike Lux, the three-safety.
Leasey's great at running the football.
He's averaged over five yards.
He picked up 1180 yards during his season.
What a hole on the left side.
Just a little bone blocking on the left side.
That Michigan line really came off the football and gave a huge hole for Leasey just running off the left tackle.
Paul tried to believe that Ken Leasey was not a starter at the beginning of his season for the Michigan fans.
Well, he scored six touchdowns on the way.
He didn't score a lot of touchdowns, but he is just one good running back.
Carter, wide to the right side.
Doubling on the way, splitty left.
Double-side and on the first two stands from the 32 for Michigan.
What a back-eight there with a long step back behind him.
Leasey gets the handoff.
Leasey charges up to the 33-yard line, and then he is tackled by a gang of the Philadelphia Stars.
Pick them up.
Leasey tackle are there.
Frank Cays, the left defensive end from Fence State.
You're not going to tell her to fill it up.
You're a defense chart either.
Frank Cays from Fence State.
Dave Ofer from Fence State.
There's an injury down on the field about the 35-yard line.
And that's Hala, picked up one, I think it's Kyrone McGriff.
And that would make it ill afford to lose him because he's been an integral part of that offensive line for Michigan.
Well, there's a timeout down on the field, and there's a break in the action with the score.
Michigan nothing, don't help you nothing.
This is the ABC Radio Network.
Kyrone McGriff is up under his own power, walking to the fireside to the Michigan faster.
Beck taking his place will be Greg Fairchild, a four-year pro from the University of Tulsa.
If McGriff does not come back in, that's going to be a tough loss for the Papers of Walla.
This year is the Coso Free Men's Game with the Pittsburgh Cures.
They really have meant the difference with that Michigan offensive line.
They get the test.
Abair so well.
He's only been passed 20 times all year long.
Bobby Abair is thrown 27 touchdown passes in regular season play.
That's the best of the U.S. at Bell.
Bobby Abair born and cut off Louisiana.
That population is 10,000 in that Louisiana town.
Going for better than 3,568 yards during the regular season.
Irving him, the record stage of the things, the number one quarterback in the USFL as they're looking.
Number two, the five quarterback out of Oakland, Prince-Rissau.
He can play for anybody.
He's got the good quick speed.
He's got the strong arm and of course he's got a lot of speed on the flank.
The cornerback, you've got to be careful in the game like this for Holloway and Anthony Carter.
Two guys that can completely play this.
I would see that they're going to have to roll up and go on both sides for these guys.
And there's a double zone on the second and nine.
Rockway to Lacey outside left, Lacey up over the 35.
And out of bounds along the various sides of the 40 a couple yards shy of the first down.
Pumped out of bounds along the various sides by Jonathan Sutton, the five-year pro from New Mexico.
So it'll be a third and two for Michigan from their own 40-yard line.
Well, they had a passing situation.
They crossed that star defense up, went to the run, got it to third and two.
The flip back in the ball game, their child out.
So for Patrick Bannon to do.
Holloway will now fly to the far right side, coming to the other side.
Left is Anthony Carter, calm and eckles in, book ending the line inside out.
Third and two for Bobby A. there at his own 40.
Michigan's Bannon's looking for the ball.
A-Bare's bumping to throw, looking downfield on the curl over the middle of the pass.
It's simply indebted to the 48-yard line of Philadelphia for Holloway.
Double coverage on there, Holloway the pass overthrown.
That's the throw.
That's the throw that turned in to Holloway. He was trying to come back for the football.
And A-Bare's two at wide, he is left.
He was open there for a moment.
But I think he might have had some inside help from the linebacker there.
So that caused the incompletion.
A-Bare Greenwood will be hunting the ball away from Michigan.
Greenwood, during the year, average better than 41 yards a kick.
Back deep, Scott wanted to accept the punt back at the 16.
All punters loved the kick here and get in the air.
So thin were Mal-R, Stadium, Bowden and all the hits.
The kick and paradise. Greenwood from Wisconsin boots.
A towering spiral coming to the other side by Waterstakes to the B-18.
Up over the 20 to the 21.
Hasn't Waze knocked out the wonder into the 23-yard line.
Waze. It looks like Robert Pennywell in on the tackle for the Michigan Fappers.
And it will be first to stand for the Philadelphia side.
And the sides will have to put ball at their own 24-yard line.
Don't score the football game.
Set 47 to play in the first quarter.
Chuck Eucida, the band's electing. The Philadelphia side is attacked.
With 32 of 33 at versus Chicago last week.
With 274 yards, three touchdowns and four big hitter sections of the route early.
Gather in the offense they liked.
They're out of the aisle with Kelvin Brown at the deep back.
They liked the full picture string and let him cut against the grain.
Arvin, the up back of the aisle in the first.
There's the energy ball this fall.
Watch for Arvin.
5 of 25 to the 30.
And out of bounds at the 31-yard line.
Kelvin Bryant being pushed out by Waze.
Mentally the fine line backer for the Michigan Fappers.
They had big number 75 in the front.
Even Herve Eatsman, the up front of all American out of UCLA.
And he is in big.
What is he? 285, 6 foot...
6 foot 6, 280 pounds.
And off to the left of the Fennel Delphi.
Havings is right there at 280.
So Kelvin Bryant who had 142 yards on the ground last week against Chicago.
Fakes a 6 second and four.
Four from the Delphi. They're all 30.
Hands up against the block. First down to Kelvin to the 34.
Havings into a man at the 34.
Then up to the 35.
First down for the Philadelphia.
Sides at the wrong 35 yard line.
And the first two he decides what's a lot of short passes to Kelvin Bryant.
How do we get him the ball and let him run with it?
They go back to what they can do with that.
Give the ball to Bryant and let him break it.
I'll tell you, he's got such great tendency running the football.
Fred, who knows exactly where his blockers are.
He seems to sense where the hole is going to open up.
He doesn't have to see it.
He senses the flow of these blockers in front of him.
It's a very intelligent running.
From the 35 to Philadelphia. First to the 10 for the Stars.
He's here with George Johnson.
He's got in both the full-time and the full-time of the 35.
Siting has the first down.
And the 42, 46 yard line of the Philadelphia Stars.
These both will make it to the second short passes.
The passes to Craig.
They're going to get Philadelphia the first time coming back to Hoffa Passers again.
That's just trying to nickel him down with the little pass off.
That went to the big side.
And Colson, as you can see, doesn't have much speed at all.
He looked a little cumminsome with the football.
But he got the first down. That's what Cicina does.
All of a sudden you look up and you've got 10 points on the board again.
High behind Cicina.
Fifth to the right side.
Harvard, Harvard, with a flag down inside.
Michigan territory at the 49 yard with a flag back at the 46.
David Greenwood, the strong safety for Michigan.
Running it out of bounds.
They had a double team on the nose track of Dave Kiptum.
And they got a foul against the Philadelphia Stars.
David Greenwood made some waves here in Denver earlier.
They asked him, would you consider going to the NFL?
He said sure.
No, I would. In fact, he wants to go.
That's right. It didn't Savitoff, the general manager of the Michigan Savits.
As soon as I heard that.
What's the hurry up, man?
Well, the whole there against 5-0.
Savitoff, as soon as I heard that, I got on the phone with Reward.
They did check out to make sure that our contract was still good.
And it is. Three more years with the pappers for David Greenwood.
He said he'd like to go to the NFL, of course.
So, USFL 7, a lot of the NFL players.
First is 48 hours with some of our differentals, 36.
Head on to the back there, 40.
Hitcher recovered by Cicina at the 32.
Cicina fell on the fumble.
Now, you know, we saw that last week.
Philadelphia fumbled about four snaps from center on the exchange
from the center of the quarterback.
Now, that wasn't a fumble between the quarterback and the center.
But there again, Cicina and the running back.
Having a little trouble on the exchange.
That shouldn't happen.
Well, Harbin got the ball and then it looked like Alan Hughes just nailed Harbin
having the ball cough off at the time.
But now we're going to have a timeout call by Philadelphia's Cicina.
The second is 23 for the guys.
They're all 33 yards behind Cicina.
But he was stated as he comes over to your side.
So, there's a break of the action with the score.
Philadelphia nothing, Michigan nothing.
We'll be back to the United States Football League championship game in Denver after this.
Second is 23 for Philadelphia.
They're all 33 yard line.
This is the United States Football League title game.
Mile high stadium Denver.
Dan Lovett, Paul Horning and yours truly put man for it with the action on the ABC Radio Network.
Simple wide receivers.
One will fly to the left side, two to the near side right.
Harbin behind Cicina.
All the second is 23.
It passed you down in most of the lower side.
Goins off the center.
Cicina, back fiddling just low.
Setting up for 24.
Now, it's close to the near side line.
It's complete.
Diving at the 44 yard line with Cicina.
Cicina had the ball momentarily.
But when he hit the 30, he dropped the football.
Clarence Chappen from up corner back from Eastern Michigan a seven year throw.
Defending on the play.
Harbin with the new Alan St.
Played the corner pretty good that time.
Played that square off pattern.
Pretty good pitch back to Cicina.
Made him come back for the football.
They just couldn't hold on right by the sideline.
Good coverage.
Big play upcoming hopefully for the Philadelphia Stars.
In their mind, it's a third and 23 from their own 33 yard line.
Back flip.
What a throw.
Bryant behind Cicina.
Simple wide receivers.
Two right, one left.
Cicina to throw.
Back fiddling.
Clash it.
Left the ball.
Back fiddling.
The blast was intended for Collier at the 40.
Back there defending it.
The ball was under thrown with John Arnaud in the blitz.
And the reason it was under thrown is it was exactly right.
It was the blitz.
They got a hold of Cicina's jersey.
He couldn't get the pass down deep to the post.
He was under thrown and incomplete.
It looked like that big number 57.
The fact man, John Corker in with the question.
They love to stroke John Corker in on the blitz.
He leaves his team with the blitz.
28 and a half shots he had set it in with coming in.
Anthony Gretters standing back at the 23 yard line.
As you can see John Landetta who just booted one before.
A rocket.
Waiting to stop on the fourth at 23 and 33.
As we have to look up.
Landetta gets it.
It's a low spiral this time.
Carter on the run at the 20.
It's a 25.
Up to the 30.
Set it up there.
Upside at the 35 and out of bounds here.
At the 38 yard line.
It will be first to jump for the Michigan pass.
Low spiraling kick.
Anthony Carter one of their most dangerous men in college football history at the University of Michigan.
Now returns the punt.
And gives the passers good field position almost here at the 40 yard line.
Well this is United States football league championship football.
And there's a break in the action with 751 to play in the first quarter with low score.
This is the ABC radio network.
Now the sun is beginning to set here in the mile high city of Denver.
Beautiful city.
No score in the football game.
The Michigan passers with the football.
First and second to all 38 and so far he's seen like a couple of boxes in the ring.
Saving each other up.
I think we're going to see Bobby Abert.
They're starting to air it out a little bit more now.
Carter wide wide.
Holloway wide left.
Back foot behind Abert in the backfield.
They call him the Cajun Shannon Bobby Abert.
He gets the snap.
Takes the hand off to another driving to corner.
So he does feel.
Carter off the fingertips of the 48 yard line.
And someone else has any Carter leaping when he really didn't have to.
Now Antonio Gibson was there on the defense.
He's trying to catch it.
He's with a beautiful pitch play action.
Just roll out right with Bobby Abert.
And he had Carter Carter had been in.
Antonio Gibson the defensive left cornerback for Philadelphia.
Of course Gibson.
You must give him a lot of room.
You've got to give Carter a lot of room over there because he runs by his sixth point.
They were playing him deep and Carter just did a little turnout was wide open for about 17 yards.
And he dropped it.
Second and San for him.
It begins in the round 38 Miller and Lacey split in the backfield.
Holloway near side Carter wide sideways.
744 to plan the first quarter no score.
Bobby Abert again to start dropping to the 30.
Setting up.
Lots of pass over the middle to the middle.
Miller Miller.
He's the man.
He threw up over the 45.
And a 55 by click down.
Four of the basic attackers.
Sam Mills the five linebacker out of Fox Claire State of New Jersey making the tackle four.
They've come up your side.
Well four quick keep reiterating this almost every game.
But you've seen it so much the last 12 years in professional football.
Just these little delayed tactics.
The quarterback use a just drop it off to their back because of that zone defense in professional football.
You've got to go to your backs underneath and that time clear Miller made a fine move on the linebacker and got the first down.
Follow the 49 of Michigan a bucket.
Carter wide wide.
Holloway wide left again.
Miller and Lacey split.
They came off to Lacey dropping your fours.
A very quick.
He's off the ball.
Whoa.
He's thinking forward diving.
Holloway at the 20 yard lineup.
Coming up your depth over the wall.
Holloway quick running.
Holloway thought that Bobby Abear had flipped that thing and just slowed up for that just that instant.
Bobby Abear just playing the strong arm.
He's got he he got his balance back and just threw a bomb down the left sidelines and I think it could have been the fault of the receiver that time.
Fred if he would have kept running directly down the left sidelines that would have been perfect.
Bobby Abear believe it or not.
Paul had a threat made against the players this week.
Second and 10 from Michigan from the wrong 49.
Holloway again left.
Carter wide right back.
Split behind Abear on the backfield.
Abear facing out of dropping to the 40.
20 to five.
Clears it off.
Lacey makes you on the run over the 50 to the 45.
Have the first down.
It's back to the left.
Your territory at the 38.
Got my slide down.
At the 37.
Scott Warner making the tackle of Kenny Lacey.
The running back from Toph and it looks like the penalty will go against the Michigan passers.
Bobby A. clip.
I had to screen set up on the left side.
Ken Lacey did a fine job getting the first down.
There it is.
Pushing against Michigan.
Now it's off from the first down.
And this is something that the passers have not been doing recently making the mistake in this crucial time.
And there's the first down taken away by a miscue on the part of the Michigan passers.
Ooh what a turnaround.
Instead of a first down at Philadelphia 37 yard line they're going to bring them all the way back to their own 40 yard line.
The whole way who stopped running on the last pass committed to foul that time.
And it's a loss of down penalty also.
So it's going to bring up third down.
And they need to leave 20.
So we'll have Carter going wide to the right side.
All the way left.
And then right on the right side is Whitecock.
And they put behind A-Bear in the backfield on the third and 20 from the Michigan 39.
That's the first Philadelphia taking the blitz for a C-Fix up.
Passed quarterback A-Bear has Lacey step up right behind him.
Now A-Bear is wrapping the throw setting up to 32.
Garns with a pitch long.
The pace of Carter.
Two of the first down at the 43 yard line without a bounce.
They bucket it to 44.
But it's going to be short of the first down at Philadelphia territory.
Very important pick up here because depending on where this punt goes out of bounds or if it's returned.
They caught about 17-16 yards back.
So it's going to give the punters a little bit of a much better chance spread of kicking their football.
And putting Philadelphia back deep in their own territory.
So David Greenwood did not have a punt block during the regular season.
And had himself a 41 yards to kick.
We'll be looking to the batter who's waiting to return the punt.
Scott Warner back at the 10.
It's fourth and three from the Philadelphia 44 for the Michigan passes.
Pretty good athletes back there.
They're better rested.
They're going to get a kick back.
Six of a meter sideline.
The ball will go out of bounds.
They bucket it to six-yard line.
What a kick.
Out of bounds.
That's a six.
Now going back.
This is what I was talking about Fred.
That 17 yard pick up on the catch enabled David Greenwood.
Like what I was talking about to get that opportunity to kick it out.
So that very, very important 17 yard pick up pass to Anthony Carter has enabled Michigan now to have very fine defensive field positions.
While we understand a kickoff the temperature was 85 degrees, but it feels rather humid here.
It's a beautiful day.
I'll tell you, it's so clear out here.
My man, David O. Sweet, Kentucky Bay.
They told me to play golf today down in a place called Perry Park.
Might have been the best golf course I've ever seen in my life around here.
Well, it's a timeout down in the field.
Now we can talk about your golf game.
I understand you would like to play in this altitude here every day.
You talk about pitchers like it is.
The golfers like it out here.
You can get a ball of mile around here.
But anyway, this is a gorgeous area and we've had a wonderful time.
The USFL, the Denver people, Craig Martin and Denver Gold has shown everybody around this week.
We've had a real fun time.
There is a group of ABC radio just been wonderful to me and my wife.
We want to thank everybody for taking a shot at that.
Well, we have six minutes, 30, 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
So far no score.
Everybody expected one of these high scores, playing the ball all over the place kind of all again.
That's why we got six 30s ago still in the first quarter.
But you know, that's sometimes we see that.
They're playing back and forth for the first quarter.
All of a sudden both these teams have come out of the children and start putting some points on the board.
So Chuck Eustina, now a lot of late versus 10 from the zone six yard mile.
I gotta be very careful not to turn it over down here.
And of course, that's exactly what Michigan would love to see.
All right, back behind you.
It looks like Corbin and Bryant.
Bryant gets the fifth white spot following the block.
Here, up to the 15 and out of bounds at the 12 yard line, 16 yard line.
Corbin Bryant, the big guy out of North Carolina with a run has the first down.
40, full of your stars, John Arnaud making the push out after 16.
Well, they just got good blocking on the right side.
As I said, I think I might have been a little bit hot.
I think I said that our best line average is 280.
They average 270, but that's awful, fake folks.
They average about six foot five.
And one of the good reasons, Irv is in the right tackle.
They run a lot to the right.
Calvin Brand loves to run off that right side with Irv even down front.
Ball mark to the 17, first to 10 for Philadelphia.
And off, goes to the running back, Alan Harvin.
Harvin stutter steps over the 20.
Harvin to about the 21 yard line and he is stopped there by the Michigan Panthers.
Making the tackle, Alan Hughes, the right offensive end.
Hughes, who has a great offseason job.
He's the bodyguard for Tommy Hearn, the boxer.
And this is dad's play four years of a Harlem Globetrotter.
Good turn, can fight.
I don't think he needs a bodyguard.
Anybody for average six.
Well, Hughes, 6-3-2-6, but you wouldn't have met with him.
I'd rather met with him.
Second and seventh following the three yard gain on the 20 for Philadelphia.
5-5-2-1 to play on the first quarter.
That emotion left side.
And off to Calvin Brand.
Brian's up running as he gets to the 22 and that is about it.
David Sipton, the known tackle there for the Michigan Panthers.
David Sipton, who was signed by the Michigan Panthers after he worked as an iron worker in North Dakota.
I think I trade playing football for being an iron worker.
This is having fun.
They're having fun down there.
This is a young league.
This is a young team.
The Michigan Panthers have 28 rookies on their roster.
Philadelphia has 23.
So what I call a rookie is coming right out of College of Rookie R is one year in the league.
A lot of that one year veterans are not much.
35 for the Philadelphia Dives, they're all 22.
Cusita with a quick pass incomplete.
Intended for Willie Collier over the middle of his overthrow.
So they have fourth down on Landetta.
We'll kick for the third time this afternoon.
The first time he kicked a sky rock.
At the second time a lowline drive that Anthony Carter was able to return.
And one of the most exciting plays of course in football is the punt return.
That's his executed right.
They've got the right man for it, Anthony Carter.
And Landetta gets the ball away.
Powering ball this time.
Carter retreating calling for the fair catch at the 23.
Bumble the ball.
The basic catch at the 23.
That ball was just sky rocketed by Sean Landetta and Anthony Carter called wisely for the fair catch at the 23.
That little 55 yard punt.
From Milan at Scrimmage.
Take it any time for his good punter.
You know he went to that mention earlier in town. It's a pretty big school.
But you find some of your best pickers, your class only players, from small schools.
Look at the Novo Boyogas for the Michigan Santhers.
He played his college football at Central Michigan.
Started out as a soccer player.
Wide to the right side on the first and then for the Santhers and the Longs 24 is gone away.
Carter wide to the near side.
Back to the left behind A-Bear on the back.
The most score in the ball game.
And off to Miller. Coming to the near side left.
Miller at the 20.
Skipped away from the tackle.
They're up over the 25 to the 26 yard line.
Scott Warner had him back at the 20.
But Cleo Miller brought away from the tackle to get up to the 26.
Finally, John Brooks collided.
Cleo Miller, the veteran running back, who attended Arkansas time block.
Well, he turned to three-year loss in his two-yard game.
Scott Warner playing the strong safety in that Philadelphia start defense.
The former All-American at University of Georgia.
He's got eight interceptors on the year.
And he is a fine strong safety.
Holloway right. Carter.
Flip left. Back, flip. Miller.
And Lacey in the backfield behind A-Bear on the second and eighth.
Bobby A-Weir awaiting the staff from Wayne Radloff.
Hands off right side to Lacey. Miller slows the block.
Lacey clear to the 30. Up to the 35 to the 36 yard line.
First down for the Michigan passes. Good block.
Come back to the homely.
As you see him put his head down and run right over.
Antonio Gibson in the left cornerback.
Lacey real good hard running.
He knew exactly how many yards he needed for the first half.
Oh, that's what you like to see in a running back, Fred.
Well, he just turned it on. He saw those first down markers and he wanted it.
One of the highlights for Ken Lacey this year. May 16 versus New Jersey.
156 yards on 22 carries.
70 yards better on the night than Herschel Walker.
He really treasures that night.
A legend.
First in Shands from Michigan.
They're all 35.
Holloway and Carter. Flip left is fine.
Hands in right right side. A-Bear fakes the hand off to Lacey.
Blomby to blow for 26.
Oh, almost in his 75 water at the 15.
Off the finger, dipped to Carter after the 6th.
He could have had it.
He had it right in his hands. What a bomb.
Bobby A-Bear showing that good, strong arm.
Play action first down and he just let it happen down the left sideline.
Anthony Carter had his man beaten back there.
They had inside-out battle. He had children covered.
Jonathan Sutton got his fingertips on the ball possibly as Carter could not control it.
He had 15 of Philadelphia incomplete.
It's the first big bomb of the night.
At least a try for the bomb.
And it was there. Carter could have had that.
It would have been a good catch. It was right there.
So Jonathan Sutton, who is the best man-to-man coverage man in the backfield
for Philadelphia, had the assignment of Anthony Carter.
He pulled it off.
That's a square knot. He got beat.
What he got, just wasn't right on target.
He had him for about two steps. He just keeps it going.
Second attack.
For Michigan's Mirol 35. Back left side is Fletcher with coming to A-Bear
and is lacing off the ball with a 30.
But he was tackled immediately by Don Pelling the veteran.
Illinois, Carolina.
11-year veteran played with some Philadelphia Eagles.
He read the screen beautifully.
Third down at 15. Now following the five-yard loss.
For all the Michigan Panthers.
And the Panthers really have not been able to generate much of an offense this season.
We have 256 to play in the first quarter.
No score in the football game.
They're going to have to come inside a little bit.
I think they're trying to go down in the sidelines in the passing game.
And when you've got two guys like this, you've got to try to break that goal with a post.
Or a deep turn in.
And you've got Carter and Holloway on the outside.
It'll open up.
Carter wide, right Holloway wide left.
A-Bear dropping the throw on the third and fifth.
He has some time. Comes up in the pocket.
All the way to the 30.
The 35. Back down.
Up over the 40.
Sliding down to the midfield.
Slapper's Bobby Avery has the first down.
But there's a flag back at the 36-yard line of Michigan.
Check it out.
It's in a vicinity of holding.
I don't think so.
Bobby Avery's going towards Philadelphia.
He needed 15. He's got 20.
He's going to have a first down and a big first down.
Holding will be the call against the Philadelphia star.
So Bobby Avery, who during the course of the year only ran for 35 yards, comes up with 20 this time.
They got half of it almost right there.
They did the end of big one.
Signing down to the end of the first.
23.
No, it's a tie.
And Antonio Gibson with comfort.
So as you heard a first down for the Michigan Panthers, the ball knows inside the 50.
The Philadelphia side of the 50 for the Michigan Panthers.
227 to play for his corner.
Carter will put wide right.
A lot of space to it from the universe of Michigan.
Backflip, Miller, along with Lacing in the backfield behind.
Avery in the quarterback awaiting the snap from George's Lane Radlop.
He gets it, takes the hand off the Miller.
Avery is dropping the throw down the middle of the basket.
The 25, 25 of the reception.
And the 25, the 40, it's tied.
15 and a 14, I like it.
A first down for Michigan.
Oh, what a good throw.
Bobby Avery, he just threw it like a bullet.
He said, 65, 255 pounds.
It was right about, they showed him as in a good 10.
Warner was right there, but that was just a bullet.
And Bobby Avery had a few incompletions, but he put it right there.
Bobby Avery, 37 yards on that pitch.
So Bobby Avery now will have his feet first and stand from the 14-yard line of Philadelphia.
145 to play in the first quarter.
No story yet in the ball game.
Michigan women's first and stands from the 14 of a start.
Avery there as they throw it out to the defense shift.
Dropping the throw, setting up for 20, 20 a time.
Now he's going to be hit.
He throws the ball in, complete and tended for a diving field, Miller, at the 11 of the I-Line.
He's going to get credited with his back.
I think Sam Mills, if it's number 54.
But he was under the grasp of one of the onrushing defensive linemen.
It was Dave O'Farr, number 94, the nose guard.
And he's going to lose about five yards there.
Miller playing for Penn State, of course.
National champions last year.
Here he has another championship try tonight.
Two and seven months.
Six four, 250 pound nose guard.
Second at 15 now, four.
The Michigan batters from the 18-yard line of the Philadelphia Stars.
Partner wide left, all the way wide right.
Two backs from the back field behind Avery.
Who walks the throw again.
Avery blitz.
Avery throws, complete the number at the 16.
He goes immediately, fireside at the 16, the I-Line.
Coming up with a tackle immediately, Mike Lush, the free safety.
And he better because they blitz.
And Lush had to receive a man to man on the outside.
He misses the tackle, could have been sick.
So it's just a short gain on that pass.
It'll be a third and 13 for the Michigan batters.
They mark the ball at about the 16, the I-Line.
Jeff Gabriel from coming in strong, with five pressure on quarterback Bobby Avery that time.
Third and 13 from the 16.
Partner wide right, all the way wide left.
Miller and Lacey splitting in the back field behind Bobby Avery.
21 seconds to play on the first four.
Avery awaiting the snap.
The 16 on the clock.
Get this, dropping the throw.
Setting up with a 25.
Running a time now.
Goes to the end zone.
The pass, it is incomplete.
It's tended for Anthony Carter in the free.
Lacey has the ball, right over his arm,
welts it and tried to dive.
They kept it before it.
It was just good defensive coverage.
Bobby tried to drill it in there.
He tried to force it in there.
He was doing a turn in corner on the right side.
Coming up to the post on the turn in.
And Avery was just trying to wait a little bit.
And it was just real good defensive coverage.
Mike Lush was right there again.
Also, got Warner back there.
So here comes Novo Boyovic.
The man who puts garlic in the stock on his kicking foot.
Good luck.
Yes, I'm serious.
Okay, 18 and a half to 29 on the year.
I don't care about the garlic.
Okay.
He's trying a 33 yarder this time
to put Michigan in the lead.
They kick high.
They kick long.
They kick it good.
All right, Michigan leads it.
The three seconds left to go here in the first quarter.
Michigan draws first blood.
Well, how important is we have the time
on the team's down head to the sideline
to get ready to kick off?
How important is it to draw first blood
in a championship game?
Well, it always is.
Unless everybody wants to get on that board first.
Even though it was three points.
Michigan had to take play with Mike Cobb,
a 37 yard pit.
They got it right down there.
They wanted to go for seven.
They just couldn't get it in.
But he just drilled it from 37 yards down.
He kicked that foot ball.
It could have been good from 50.
Novo came to the United States in 1975,
born in Tito grad, Yugoslavia.
And in fact, when it spoke right back there
to the old country,
the folks back there thinking he's playing rugby.
Well, the only thing about football is
that he's the kick they catch down.
That's right.
Now that drives.
10 plays.
Four minutes, 37 seconds.
Two down on the 33 yard field goal
by Novo Boyovic.
And Novo will see the ball up below us
at the 35 yard line.
Back deep, fourth without the Allen Carbons.
We just have three seconds to go
on this first quarter here at
Mile High Stadium.
Lead it up, I think, Michigan ladies.
Boyovic.
We'll have his passes funneled back to the 30.
Novo and his broken English gives the...
What do you think he did?
Yeah.
Okay, men, we go down and tackle the guy with the ball.
Novo probably hoped he doesn't have to tackle
the guy with the ball.
Boyovic with the ball at the 35.
Harvon standing back at the three yard line to our left.
Boyovic, he's a good kicker.
18-29 on the years.
Of course he's the ball.
Good high kick.
Harvon's gone back into the end zone
about three yards,
and he is waiting to see if he's going
to come on.
He won't.
He goes down on one knee.
It'll be a touchback first and ten for Philadelphia.
They're all on the guideline,
and there's the gun.
To end the first quarter with the score,
Michigan's three Philadelphia.
Loving this to see ABC Radio Network.
Well, we're about ready to start the second quarter here
at Mile High Stadium in Denver.
Dan Lovet, Paul Haunig, and yours, Julie Fletmanse
with the United States Football League.
Very first title game three at our bank.
The Michigan Fathers currently leading the Philadelphia
Tigers for Tigers with the ball.
The start of the quarter, first and ten from their
own 20-yard line.
Paul, we'd like to welcome again
Around the World, the Armed Forces Radio Network.
More than 600 stations strong,
and we welcome them to our broadcast,
and we have been very happy to have them along.
For many games, I think last week they heard
the Philadelphia game, that exciting game
with the Chicago Blitz, and now we're back
with the championship game fellas.
We hope you enjoy it.
Keep listening.
And of course, this ball game is being broadcast
to all 50 states, and here's putting that state
that you love, so dearly, is Hawaii.
I love that Hawaii, I'll say.
There's a lot of talk about Hawaii becoming a franchise.
I think it'd be a very good one.
Oh, that's a good defense, that's it.
First to stand for someone else here.
It's all for the I-Ride.
The state is wide, wide, wide, left, high,
back behind the quarterback, Christina,
and the backfield.
Christina gives off to Bryant.
Bryant hit in the backfield by David Gibson,
pulled off, and then, Bryant is sold under
back at the 18-yard line.
David Gibson in the nose guard, a four-year program
Western Illinois major hit initially on the big guy,
Calvin Bryant, the four endowmen,
the rest of the map, but he made lots of big running back
at the 18s, who had stopped.
I like that little counter-action play.
He takes the steps to the right,
tries to come back to the left.
It took a lot longer than expected,
and was just too good of penetration
on the part of that hands-on.
Now, Bryant now, five carries on the night.
He gains 22 yards.
Wide to the right side is 50, the single-foot left.
Christina's walking to throw,
and he's reaching seven on ice with the air.
Christina with the pressure,
rolls the ball away at the 10-yard line.
No attentional grabbing.
Yes, we get it out.
Nobody allowed the 10 for the full-time.
And help your side, the quick-factor,
from Michigan.
And it's a good call,
because there wasn't a receiver over there at all.
They're trying to save the tight end.
One of the wide receivers, I think,
Rodney Parker, was over there.
But it was, and it's no problem.
The pitch is where we get the end of the career back.
Walk to five,
third back.
Very good call by the rest of the way back to back.
So it'll be a third down.
The ball will be put down at the five-yard line
of the Philadelphia Stars.
The Stars really not generating much of an offensive position.
Well, it's good to defense the field position here, boys.
Wave, third in a lot of yards,
balls inside to five.
Crucial mistake here.
It could almost see the start of something big
as far as Michigan is concerned.
They've got to be very careful here.
They come out of here with a little bit better field position
for a park or they could get lucky to get the first down.
Third in a long yard is for Philadelphia,
from their own five, third and 25,
with the Stars.
It's a couple of wide receivers.
And as you see the retreat to the end zone,
he has the pressure running out of the end zone
out of the five.
You see us coming to the near side out of bounds
at the seven-yard line.
Just you see us moving the rush
of the Michigan Panthers,
decided to run the ball,
foot-pitch to the near side line,
out of the seven,
overglaze the right corner back,
and run him out.
I don't think he had any intention of throwing the football.
As soon as he got back three yards deep in the end zone,
he was looking to run right away.
He didn't want to set up.
I think he was a little bit afraid of being
getting the first safety right there.
So he ran right out of the end zone and out about.
So, John Landetta,
standing at the restraining line of the end zone,
will be kicking to dangerous Anthony Carter,
Carter standing at the 48-yard line
of the Philadelphia Stars.
Landetta really wants to boot it this time.
Very little breeze here in the mile-high city.
Landetta gets the ball.
He sticks it high.
Carter coming to the near side,
calls for the fair catch,
and it's 49.
It'll be first and 10 for the Michigan Panthers
from their own 49-and-a-half yard line.
Set a 43-yard puck.
We have 14 minutes to go in the first half.
Michigan leading Philadelphia 3-0.
Nothing there's a part from the action.
With that score, the Panthers three of the Stars,
nothing there's a BBC radio network.
Back at mile-high, Sadie Mendenbra,
the Michigan Panthers will leave the football game 3-0.
They have the football,
first and 10 for their own 49-and-a-half yard line.
The ball is very hot up here in the broadcast booth.
So you imagine it's got to be pretty warm down on the play.
This half of this football first of the day
is no question about it.
It's starting to go into the evening.
It's still bright in the sunshine here in Denver.
The field is covered with shade now,
but the first and clean conditions are safe for the players.
They've calmed in tight on the right side.
Now we have Echols back off the line,
further wide to the left side.
Echols in motion from right to left.
Back to left.
Williams in the ball game for the first time tonight.
Bothered by a goal, gets the football.
Williams up on the run to the 45-to-42-yard line
of the Philadelphia Stars with a flag back
at the Michigan 47-yard line.
John Williams, who did not side tonight
because of the first goal,
got the ball for the first time this evening,
took it outside left, but we have a flag back.
And he ran pretty good with that turf-claw.
It picked up base, going to be brought back offside.
John Williams, well cut down during the regular season.
You know, the first time he carried the ball
it was constantly, he took it all the way to the end zone
on a 40-yard touchdown run.
Well, these are good ones.
These are 14-round draft picks.
I think, and that was pretty good pick.
Going against the Michigan here.
But you know, this seems to be,
every time we see Philadelphia play, this way they play.
They get behind.
They don't look too good in the first half.
And all of a sudden, in the fourth quarter,
they come to life, put a lot of points on the board,
and they end up to win.
Now, they call their defense, the Yard House defense,
because of the way they play, the canosity
with which they play.
They always seem to be digging themselves into a hole
that they have to get out of.
Well, this is a good field position for Michigan.
They should set, put something on the board right here.
But it's just 15-foot of a batter, and they're on 45.
Farther wide left, farther way, wide right.
Today, there's lots of flow.
Set up the 36, flop it over the left.
And the left of the play to Williams at the 46-yard line.
Williams at the ball, off his fingertips at the 46-yard.
Maybe that's why they don't throw the ball out there.
Williams.
During the course of the regular season,
eight perceptions for Williams for 80 yards,
while he had carried the ball 153 times for 624 yards.
They didn't look too swift.
They kind of kept the football, didn't they?
Bobby A. Bear, 5-of-12 today.
That's it.
Not a great day for Bobby A. Bear,
but he seems to get hot, leading the ball again.
His straight in has been open.
I think you might see him go to his straight in,
like Carl against second at 50,
so they're hitting the ball 45.
He's dropping the ball again.
He's there with pressure.
Throw the ball, the win to make Carl at the 45-yard line.
Now they will end completion.
Carl was hit immediately by Scott Warner.
The ball messled around Carl's belt buckle,
but then, went it through.
He's looking for Carl all the way to big straight in.
He's looking for Carl's.
He's getting a little double coverage on the inside
with the linebacker to safety.
So, Mike Cobb, they respect him.
He was a leading fast receiver for Michigan during the regular season.
He caught three last week in the playoff game.
He should have caught that pass.
That was right there. It was an easy catch.
They're in 15th for Michigan now, from their long 45 ball.
They need a big play.
They had to ball first down at the 50-yard line,
and the series is false and offensively.
Righted wide to the left side.
Backs put behind, eight-bears dropping to floor again.
Bobby wants the pass.
The play-time level is over.
The ball goes to the number four first-down,
Tigers turning to the 34-yard line.
That's a little bit of a high-mike luck.
Well, they needed 15, they got 20.
Seems to hit Bobby eight-bears.
So far here in the first half,
they've been able to come up with a couple of big plays.
One to Mike Cobb for 37,
and now one to Anthony Carter for 21 yards.
The ball at the 34-yard line
is a little bit of a foul.
So without your first and ten for the batters
who lead in the football game,
three to nothing with 30-07 to play
in the first half here at Bio-High Stadium.
This is the United States Football League title game.
Wide to the right side, a single receiver,
Frank McClain, Doc Sleetie,
and Miller is put behind, eight-bears,
and in tight right and left.
Eight-bears now will call a call-up.
As he saw something on that defense,
but he did not like it.
Or couldn't solve, or couldn't solve,
or not on the play field of this United States Football League championship game.
With his score in Michigan-3, Philadelphia-0,
they will be back to the USFL title play after this.
Three to nothing here at Bio-High,
Michigan-over-Phillipa.
We've lost 10 seconds for station identification.
This is the ABC Radio Network.
We've seen Michigan leading on the scoreboard,
and in total yards, 138 to 46 for the stars.
Well, that's good and bad.
Michigan's got the early battle won easily here so far.
This was half.
They've only got three points up on that score.
I think it was the U-Haul that put seven points on the board now.
No doubt the Hoses team, their field goal in this draft,
defense will have done a good job.
You're looking at, you know, almost 200 yards in offense, only six points.
Again, we have the double tight ends,
and Mike Koff, that echoes long wide receiver in McLean.
We have Miller and Lacey, split in the backfield.
In motion to the near side is Eccles.
And off to...
Miller, Miller, come up to the 35.
Miller to the 30, to the 25, and living on a ball.
At the 24-yard line,
Mike Lacey got a flying the hit on Cleo Miller,
and there's roughly close to another first down from Michigan.
Well, I'll tell you why. There goes a flag.
There goes a flag now.
The temperatures we talked about, the flare between these two teams.
I'd say one thing I do like about these Michigan running backs,
or they get around the corner, they put their head down,
they don't go out of bounds, they take picks on those cornerbacks.
This is going to go against Michigan for a join.
A very stupid penalty here for them, the Michigan passers.
They had a second two at the 25-yard line,
and he sent some to the referee.
And now they go on legal pursuit.
Miller to the 70, to the 70, and the little line,
he's got the report.
Legal formation.
Well, legal formation.
Well, you know, there was a lot of talk here about a...
a surprise that that is due to...
Who cares that is due to the Bonson USFL title game in Denver?
Well, they sold all of the souvenirs.
Well, they see what's up on the title game already.
Well, it's going to be, you know, looking back years to come, you know,
I was going to say, I was at the first USFL, and here's the T-shirt.
You never know what it may be with.
First and fifth seed for Michigan,
from the Philadelphia 39-yard line.
Harder, the long line receiver.
He's putting left double-priced ends again.
Backs put behind A-bear in the backfield.
Bobby just rolls, setting up at the 47.
Hunch, he's got the hit, and he's dropped.
That's a hit, a hit, and a foul.
The linebacker, the lap of A-bear from behind and dropping.
Got a stuttered offense to see.
You know, they go backwards for a while,
then they get third-fifteen, they pick up the first half.
It's going to be second and 19 now for Michigan,
from the 43-yard line of the Philadelphia side.
And the...
The halfters have been employing the double-priced end offense,
rather than having Holloway and Carter in at the same time.
Well, they threw a lot of long patterns to Holloway and Carter
and that first quarter, they're probably a little bit tired.
Now, we have a...
Carter going wide left, Holloway wide right.
Again, Miller and Lacey, the backs in the backfield behind.
Put a back-A-bear who wants to throw again.
A-bear in his own territory at the 49.
Set the fouls afield!
It's the big second drop of the night for Anthony Carter.
Carter has a ball, but the 33-yard Philadelphia.
This is the one that turned to Ronnie.
Drops the ball, Roger Jackson defending.
He heard a little footsteps over there.
Carter wanted to run before he caught it.
He had a good hit.
Soon as the ball was delivered perfectly on target.
Good timing.
Good move by Carter to the outside.
In fact, Bobby A-bear read the defense beautifully.
They had the Holloway double-covered on the other side.
So he went with that.
Really uncharacteristic for Anthony Carter
to drop two passes in a single inning in the center tonight.
Carter wide to the left side.
Holloway wide right.
Lacey and Miller putting in the backfield behind.
A-bear on the third and 19 from Michigan
from the 43 of Philadelphia.
One of them up into the line.
The backfield is for Flint Philadelphia.
The Flint is on. A-bear rolling right.
A-bear on the third pass.
It's blown down.
See the passes.
Intercepted by Mike Lusher.
Up over the 40.
45.
This is the second territory.
Lusher's down.
And the 44-yard line of the Michigan passes.
Mike Lusher picked off the ball
and probably intended to see where the tight end.
Lusher put it along.
The near-side line.
It'll be first to 10 for the Philadelphia stars
in the 44 of Michigan.
The passes are then it will echo.
There's a flag down.
It's going to be a personal foul.
A-bear on John Brooks number 53.
He's for Hemons down there.
It's going to go against Philadelphia.
Mike Lusher.
Big interception.
And I'll tell you, they threw everything with the kitchen sink
at Bobby A. there.
Our full blast was gone.
Forcing Bobby A. there out of the pocket.
And he made a mistake.
He should never have thrown that football downfield up the grass.
Mike Lusher.
Six interceptions during the regular season.
Is that another flag?
Or are they just throwing it back to the official foul?
Maybe they're just giving it back to the official
because we saw a flag fly.
Oh, they're hot.
And I'll tell you, there's one thing, one criticism that actually
has in the U.S. right now.
I think there's too many flags.
I know there may be a lot of penalties.
But I'll take that to you when we see it.
He haven't run it.
What's up?
Well, the penalty, I think, is to be roughing the passer here.
Roughing the passers ball against Philadelphia.
I don't believe this.
I'll tell you.
The first time he ran against Philadelphia,
maybe a little hot.
Nothing to pass.
After he delivered the football, he was roughed out of bounds.
Jeff Gabrielson, the man they signed with roughing the passers.
And Gabrielson was hot after the flag went down.
So it's the first and second.
It's the second.
And then the 28 of it over there.
And it gets very quickly.
Hey, there, when he released the football,
he threw an interception.
When he went down on the ground,
Jeff Gabrielson lost him up.
That's where we have it.
Michigan football at the 28.
First and then 100 wide.
Left, hallway, wide, wide.
He sent you out of run one.
And a right side.
Bumped the middle here, but with a 25.
And the 24, the 6th ball, the 6th ball.
The 15, the 20, the 20, the 20, the 23, I'd like.
And then Wich is banged by Tom Doinbuck out of bounds.
The play goes.
And it could be.
Doinbuck's very stupid penalty against...
Doinbuck on a stupid penalty.
The monster guy down is going to be 15 against Michigan.
So Doinbuck was banged.
Wich out of bounds will be penalized here.
And this is how the overlock talks about the ball going on down there.
These two teams, as we said, have better words between them.
Clio Miller had to push down.
Couldn't hold on.
He has had a history of bumping the football.
Clio Miller didn't hold on.
He had about a nine in the arcane.
Now the ball will be marked up field.
Over the 30.
And the ACI line of the Philadelphia Stars for the Stars.
What about 100%?
What's that?
Actually it was on the offense who went on the defense following the Bumble recovery.
And it was Tom Doinbuck who had a good word for that week with the general manager, Carl Peterson,
of the Philadelphia Stars.
So it's first and chance for the Philadelphia Stars for all 30 ACI lines.
You see them walking the ball.
Something out right side behind them.
100% of the 40.
Then the 45.
What about the 45?
The 45 line of the Philadelphia Stars.
David Greenwood pushing them out there.
Guy had the first down by Yard.
Now Michigan had an excellent opportunity to push the points on the board.
They cut it back on a huge penalty to the quarterback out of bounds after he's shown intercepted.
Right up with the fumble and now Michigan got it and a big quick.
Right now for Michigan, he got an extra steal from the Michigan.
Right up to 47 yards left, second to about one and a half.
And it's the star of thrilling in the football game.
I think with 11.34 to play that half, you see that gets it up the board.
Fly to the Michigan Lions, to the 45.
It's a good thing to get to the 44 of the Patners.
Calvin Bryant and Bryant is hopping as he gets up.
He is pounding his hands first down for the Philadelphia Stars.
Ray Bentley, the fine linebacker for the Michigan Patners making the stop.
Bentley from Central Michigan.
There's a mid-America conference clear of the year last year.
You know it seems to me that Michigan is playing a lot more out of control.
Philadelphia is in control there often.
Boda back to senior, gives the ball off, straight up goes Calvin Bryant,
lands down to about the 41 yard line and he is shot.
Tell us a report from the sidelines.
We were talking about the double tight end set up for the Michigan Patners.
There's a report that Taylor Collaway, the wide receiver,
suffering from an upset stomach and he's having trouble when he gets in the football game.
John Vanadag making the stop all four for the Michigan Patners that time.
If that's upset stomach, you better get it up in a game like this and go ahead and play.
Second and seventh for Philadelphia.
What's an upset stomach in a game?
I don't understand that.
From the 41 yard line of Michigan, you see the ball again.
From five, throws over the middle, the king of Harvard at the 35.
Golden football for the football at the 30, rolling out of bounds.
It'll be thrown off the ball.
At the 29 yard line, David Greenwood applied the hit causing the fumble.
Rolls out of bounds for Philadelphia at the 39.
John Parker was right there also.
You see it was in trouble.
He had nobody to go to.
Took a step a little over to his left and up and Alan Harvin broke free coming underneath on a little delay.
I'll tell you this, it's become a wild football game.
I feel thankful about it.
A little bit more control.
Michigan plays a little more health-less character.
They're coughing up the football making and filling the space.
While the I've gained at first and 10,
I'll give him a 29 of it.
He's again 10-13 to play in the first half.
Michigan leading the striers through the nothing.
You see them with the backs put behind dropping the ball.
You see them one-time some pressure.
Go over the edge of the little arm.
In 50.
Go and stop and may have picked the ball away from Scott Fitsky and the end zone.
In complete.
Otto takes the shot.
Clint Steppin didn't see the ball.
Scott Fitsky was just a little bit overthrown.
He had one hand on the football and Captain back there was just had his back turned.
He had the coverage right there.
I'd say he went for the home run.
He went for the bomb and they say that Yucina cannot throw deep.
He did that time.
He had the ball out there on the line.
It'll be at the 29 yard line.
Second and 10 for Philadelphia in Michigan territory.
50 wide right.
We have Rodney Parcher's foot left.
Back foot behind Yucina and the backfield on the second and 10.
Yucina dropping the throw.
Yucina setting up with a 37.
And the left corner of the end zone is five.
Complete for Rodney Parcher for a 20.
Now he got the foot ball.
Paul Carter.
Rodney Parcher had the foot ball for a minute.
I don't think he's...
They ruled he did not have possession of it inbound.
He really touched down right away.
Throwed his arms and he says,
now they're going to bring it back.
Mitchell out of scrimmage of the 29 yard line and this in.
Complete.
Out of the tough ones for Rodney Parcher, the five year pro from Tennessee.
State he had picked in his hands.
And then they ruled in completion.
Parcher, on that play, had beaten Oliver Davis.
The right corner back.
Parcher had the ball and then he dropped it.
I'll tell you what they...
I think they needed that.
They gave the ball to Kelvin Brown a little bit before running the football.
They said they'd have some successor.
They get it down here and they start going on first down.
What a bad idea to give it to Kelvin Brown.
A book of Ruffles and Allen Harbour in the backfield.
Kelvin Bryant not end the game.
We have double wide with the free was left on the third and 10.
Yucina the throw is picked by Parcher but gets the ball away.
The pass is complete and a fly down at the 23 yard line.
The reception made under heavy attack by Scott Pitsky,
the favorite receiver of Yucina.
But that time John Corker, the sack man, got his arm on the shoulder pads
of Yucina as he threw the football.
Well there again, this game play a little out of control on defense.
And they come up with a defensive penalty.
I think we'll check it out.
You know, one of the things that don't like the defensive play is
there's so many penalties in this league.
You know, there's no lad aging the special football.
If you really want to call, you can call it.
You can throw the flag on every play.
And this league has just seen so many penalties.
And it is number 21 on defense.
First down.
Oliver Davis.
Start holding that time for the first and 10 for Philadelphia
from the 23 yard line of Michigan.
Well both these teams have had ample breaks now.
It is a Philadelphia to take break.
And that's not killing Brian back in.
I don't see why you don't give it, give the football this young man.
Let him run with it on first down.
Well, so lands wide in the backfield.
Let's get most into the right side goes 50 wide receiver left.
They hand off the blind bootleg left.
If you see it up, you've seen it going the ball.
It's complete.
And tended for the diving receiver, Wolfram at the 10 line.
Ryan Wolfram could not hang on.
It is. It was a perfect play.
A good call that time because Wolfram was wide open.
Just a four pass throw by Chuck McChuck.
He was very wide open.
If he threw a system, any kind of a pass,
Wolfram just gets to the ball and walks into the hook.
He had to touch down it.
The second time, just a few plays ago,
they had Rodney Parker in the end zone with a pass.
Parker dropped.
Well, I think you took Calvin Brown on the fleece to the right side.
I could have come up with six then because you're going to have to say it's a good call.
Just four pass that's lost.
You've seen it in this fight there.
Colliers and 50 putting wide right to the left side left as Tom Donovan
is behind. You see the arm of the second attack.
And off to Harvon. Harvon at the 25.
Moves out of the 20 to the 15th.
Harvon written out of bounds at about the 14 line by John Arnaud.
Good draw play that time inside of John Parker,
who was on a blitz from the defensive right track,
and he ran right back.
Parker, the ball marked at the 14 and a half yard line.
It's a third and one for Philadelphia.
The sirens trailing in the football game, pretty annoying.
937 to play in the first half here at Mile High Stadium and Denver.
Van Leavitt, ball holding footman for bringing the football game your way.
Guess who's going to get it now?
With a C, Kelvin Bryant, Constable.
They read it, I give it to him.
Ring on the right side and then drive left.
High, back behind Christina. Guess who has it?
Bryant, Bryant, late silver line for the first down.
Down to the 11, the I-line.
First down, four, they silvered out the stars.
The ball will be marked at about the 11 and a half,
maybe the 12 yard line of Michigan.
Michigan defense, gone a lot.
They're talking a lot to the offensive,
line in the offensive back.
Looks like that's it.
I'm David Simpson and Kelvin Bryant had a few
unpleasant words for each other.
I tell you, Kelvin Bryant liked the tough.
He's won, good running back, I'll tell you.
Ball sitting at the 12 yard line of Michigan,
fourth for Philadelphia.
He snows in there, he likes combat it looks like.
Doesn't shy away from it.
Parker running back.
Parker in 50, flipping left, end in right, right.
High, back behind Christina.
Now in most of right side is 50, 50.
Stop behind the quarterback, continues to lead in.
What a ball!
Ball by quarterback Christina.
We saw that a lot last week.
I don't understand, David.
About 21 games into the year now.
They should get the quarterback snap from Turner.
Looks like Christina may have recovered his own
fumble as he did several times last week
against the card when the playoff.
Oh, that was an important recovery by Chuck Christina.
I'm glad to get it.
Got it.
They had three white jerseys all over Chuck Christina that time.
Christina came up with the football.
Loss of one, second at 11 for Philadelphia
from the 13 of the Sanford.
Collier and 50 splitting wide right,
coming to the other side left.
We have a lot of new parts.
That's flip behind Christina in the backfield.
Second at 11 for Philadelphia from the 13 of Michigan.
Christina, long count, waiting for the snap
the most.
Guys, it's a full timeout.
What's your inside?
Once you put your hands inside the center,
you can't pull them off.
I don't think he's going to get away with it.
He's going to call the timeout.
Well, there's a break in the action here in Denver
with a score missing a three.
Philadelphia nothing this is an easy to see.
Radio that way.
Well, here back at Myle High Stadium,
815 to play in the first half of the United States
football championship game.
And no go boy over to field goal has given the Michigan
passers a three to nothing lead over the Philadelphia stars.
The size of the football second and 11.
The ball at the Michigan 30 yard line.
And again, the stars played by the exchange from
center Bartos two quarterbacks.
Just two feet away.
That's happened all year long.
We thought half a last week for it's past
against the bliss of the ball.
Back with the backfield behind.
Two feet on the second and 11.
We had a long and private.
The ball to the left side to receive a good way.
Back to you see that dropping the flow setting up to 22.
Some pressure on the end zone for 50.
50.
They come down with a football in the far right corner
of the end zone.
They're trying to work on players.
I think when you play every time they try to throw
an important pass or big play pass,
they're going right after clear step.
So we serve an 11 for Philadelphia.
Well, it's Japan there.
He knows he's being kicked on as he goes to our defensive
huddles.
He's shaking his head a little bit.
He's saying Bartos, don't they call his own over there
so he can get them inside hell.
Third and 11 for the stars in the third seed of Michigan.
Double wide receivers left.
The single wide receivers left.
Back to the left.
And blind in the backfield behind.
You see it dropping the flow.
The pass incomplete.
The federing back there was Clarence Chapman once again.
The pass intended down there for Willie Collier.
Chapman, as you said, being kicked on.
So David Trout, the diminutive David Trout,
five, six, 155 pounds is looking forward to returning to
Peru to Bolivia to become a bliss pilot once again.
We'll be into a tempfield a lot of fours now.
Both these teams are so young.
They're so pen up.
They're so strong.
They're playing out of control.
They can just get together and cool down a little bit.
I think we see some good football.
Trout, who is assembling a 30-yard field goal, gets the ball
back, kicks it up to the upright.
So we have a five-football game, three-three,
with seven-eighteen to play in the first half.
So they said, try not to miss USFL title game.
What's the score?
So, well, get three.
Michigan, three, this is the ABC Radio Network.
They knew what it would give them.
Goodbye.
Use the left club and play forward,
just so they could practice an upper every game.
And the shaft strailders guarantee that it's going to
谁 have the ball right to the left by the left.
So I think it's a good starting point.
To the top, here, here…
Maybe we did get this early on…
In baseball basketball,amas hehe
He should put him down the end zone.
LaNalle's feed of an airside right.
Jerome Selly left to our left,
standing at the goal line to await the kickoff
for the Michigan Panthers.
7-18 to play in the first half.
Tromp approaches the ball.
He kicked the knuckleball,
taking the football.
No dropping the ball.
Jerome Selly rolling back into the end zone.
Selly better come up with a football and come out.
He better come out with a football and make chance.
No under down in the end zone.
Selly cuts that ball.
He was trying to run it out there.
It is a safe.
All he had to do was kick the ball on the football
and they would have blown it then
and they brought it back to the 20.
And again, I've seen this happen so many times
at professional football.
These kids don't know the rules that well.
They don't go over the rules that much.
This kid did not know the position
that he was in with that football.
So it'll be up at the 20 eyeline where the...
I thought they were going to call it safety here
and I think that's what it was called.
He was trying to get up and run with the football.
He was down with it and he tried to get up and run
and they were going to call it a touch pass.
So they got lucky there.
Very well, isn't it?
We sure have.
So it'll be a person's dad from us.
They're getting there on 20 eyeline.
Wide to the right-side right corner.
All the way wide left.
Back foot again.
Behind Bobby Abert.
Abert, a long jump.
And all going in motion quickly
and the flag going down 3 old Miller.
He made a lot of mistakes.
He missed a couple, he fumbled.
And he just goes offside.
So what they're ruling is a muff on that kick
and no possession given through safety.
I'm not...
I wasn't ruling.
First down, off setting penalty.
What I was objecting to, it was a muff.
There was no question about that.
But it went into the end zone
and the young man who went back and got the foot ball
I'd do it.
But he was trying to pick it up.
They could all up there and run it out of the end zone.
That's what I'm objecting to, see.
Cutter wide right, all the way wide left.
Tom in tight right side.
Back foot, Miller and Lacey in the back field.
Handoff on the draw to Lacey.
And Lacey goes nowhere.
It's a ball with a 15 yard line when they started.
It's saved for 15 yard line, second and 15.
Tom's fielder making a tackle for the foot off your side.
It's a right defense event.
One year pro from the University of Kentucky.
Good.
6'3", 240 pounds.
It's a good one, too.
It's a good, it's a tall pressure.
They quarter back the backs over the year for the fielder.
Wide to the right side, Holloway.
Wide left side, Anthony Cutter.
Back flip, Miller and Lacey in the back field behind Averon.
Averon, the second and 15 from the Michigan 15.
Averon, short drop.
And there's a whistle.
Too much time.
Looking down at that 30 seconds clock.
It's down to 0.
Oh, Averon.
That's a lot of little off-heats.
What's that?
That's what it was.
Looking around at defense, hoping to auto-blies.
Filled up your star defense.
Jumping around.
Got Bobby Averon that time.
You know, ball, they're doing the season.
Having won 12 of the last 14 ball games.
I think it's after it looks like a well-oiled football team here tonight.
They're making up too many mistakes.
They really are.
This is a set of mistakes.
A play for a tackle team have not looked good.
They've actually looked a little bit sloppy.
I just think that they're too anxious to do well.
And they're trying to force things.
They've got to calm down.
Michigan and Philadelphia too.
Quarterback Averon, the second and 20 from his own fans.
Dropping the throw, lobbed the ball out here and oh, it's completed.
The sideline, Ciel Miller, the closest receiver, with the 25 along the near sideline.
Jeff Gabrielson applying pressure and a hit to Bobby Averon.
So Averon, the rookie quarterback, and that could be a key here, Paul.
The nerves coming into the ball game.
You don't think so?
No, heaven's no.
27 touchdown passes on the year.
He's had a sensational year.
He comes into this game and they're just all together.
This whole game is not to play execution.
It's not been good.
We thought we'd have a much better football game than three to three, right?
Right.
Both teams are the best teams in the league, but they haven't played well at all.
6-14 to play first half.
It's all meant to the three-three sides.
Michigan with a third and 20 from their own stand.
They're funny at times.
He's going along the cutter.
Cutter makes a reception as he went around a ball.
They move, one move in, one move out.
The ball at the 37 yard line, it would be for a first down.
Now, the pencil, what's official, will have the rolling.
One guy ruled it, good net, one guy ruled it.
Incomplete, they're going to rule it.
Completed to 35.
What a break.
What a break for the Michigan batters that get the first down.
On a 37 yard strike from Bobby A. Bear to Anthony Carter.
27 yards on the pitch to the left side to Anthony Carter.
For that time, a lot is going to be ruled a catch.
It was a sensational catch by Anthony Carter.
After two drops, he comes up with a big one.
Well, he's got the good bomb arm out there.
He can whip it.
Back split, Lacey and Miller in the backfield.
Double tight end.
Carter's put wide right on the first intent in the 37 of Michigan.
Hey, Bear, get it off the Lacey.
Lacey up over the 40.
Look at him.
He's going forward to the 43.
Maybe the 44 yard line.
Can Lacey create effort?
Look down, but he's attacking.
Looks like he was going to pick up three for 80, pick up seven.
Now, Lacey has a lot of hard, a lot of drive.
The number six drop toy to the USFL draft by the Michigan Panthers.
Password touchdown this year, a 38 yard touchdown fast.
The Derek Holloway in the final game of regular batters.
That's something we haven't seen yet.
And I thought we were going to see one before this game.
Go away.
We haven't seen any fleece-leakers at all.
We haven't seen a reverse turning the flankers.
And you know, you've got a guy like Anthony Carter.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to give it to him on a reverse.
Second and third, Lacey, give him the 44.
Hand off to Miller.
Miller ducking inside over the 45 to the 46 yard line.
Maybe the 47 for the veteran Cleo Miller.
Sam Mills making a tackle.
What do they like to put?
First down.
Lacey with a carry that time.
Kenny Lacey, seven rushes, 36 yards for better than a five yard average.
And that's what he had during the course of the year,
better than five yards to carry.
The only 1,000 yard rush are in the U.S. that fell to average better than five yards to carry.
Carter wide right, engine tight right and left.
Back with Miller and Lacey in the backfield behind A-Bear on the first attempt in the Michigan 48.
A-Bear, long shot, takes the hand off the Miller, dropping to Cleo with some pressure.
Rolling to the right side, he's going to be hit.
He throws the ball to Cleo to Anthony Carter.
First down of the 41 yard line.
Carter scooping low to make the reception.
He made a nice catch and he may be hobbled.
His left leg, it looks like he has a Carly horse,
but his left thigh, Glenn Howard there for Philadelphia.
George Cooper put the pressure on.
Got Bobby A-Bear behind the linebacker,
looked out of the Michigan State.
Putting a little heat on A-Bear, but he found Anthony Carter in time for the first down 12 yard pickup.
Carter out of the football game, his left thigh looked like it tightened up as he limped off the field to the far side.
First and 10, the ball to the Michigan passes.
The ball at the 41 yard line of Philadelphia.
Frank McLean replacing Carter, puts Wife to the left thigh, double tight ends again.
We have Williams along with Lacey in the backfield, put behind A-Bear.
A-Bear takes the hand off to Williams,
he's long to throw, long to pass out and then it's a car.
He had an opportunity to catch the ball.
Pass and a fair to lead the call against Philadelphia at the 27 yard line.
Jonathan Sutton, the man who was a little over anxious.
Good call Fred, right on the money.
Jonathan Sutton came up, put the hit on top, but the ball was not there yet.
That's a timing.
You know, that's just a guess of a timing.
He's going after that receiver.
Looks like he's going to make the catch.
Sutton got there, just a fraction before the ball, interference.
And now in the USL, the USFL, there's a little bit different.
They go back to the line of scrimmage, a 15 yard penalty.
And so that will mark the ball at the 26 yard line of Philadelphia.
He's made it to the pass in the series, and the 26th first down.
That's how Michigan got down there, Cleo Miller coughed up the football.
First in 10 for Michigan, he was 26th of Philadelphia.
355 to play in the first half, a deadlock, 3-3.
There were over 200 yards in offense, Michigan only got three points.
McLean lied to the left side, all the way wide right.
Eight there, gives off right side.
Lacey on the ramble to the 20-eyed line.
Again, a six by 10 Lacey.
It'll be a second and four Glenn Howard, the linebacker from Minnesota, making the stop.
339 to play in this first half.
Michigan working down closer to the Philadelphia goal line.
McLean out on the ball, gave up, and Carter back in.
It looked like he had a Charlie horse when he went off.
They apparently had massaged it.
Carter, five catches, 77 yards, and he's a big man in that offense, of course, for Michigan.
Carter wide left, on the way wide to the right side.
Williams and Lacey put in the backfield behind Bobby Abert.
Abert gets the ball, gives off right side.
Lacey and Lacey is tackled in his own backfield, coming up for the big tackle to veteran John Bunny.
Nobody blocked him, he was splitting on the left side.
Bunny, the veteran down in North Carolina, 11 years.
Nobody blocked him at all, Fred.
He just nice right through and got the running back.
So it'll be a third and nine now for the Michigan Panthers,
and quarterback Bobby Abert has had the knack to see him come up with the big third downplay every once in a while.
You know, one good thing about an offensive line, when you give your quarterback a lot of time,
especially in a situation like this, you give him a lot of time,
and everybody's covered, he's got time to take off and run and get the first down when he got that good pass.
Third and nine for Michigan, with 24 of Philadelphia.
Carter going wide to the left, the fast ball, that's one of Abert, and Carter at the club.
Carter to his head, Carter's wide into the end zone, goes out of bounds.
That's a one and a half yard line, first and goal of the Michigan Panthers.
He was sent in heavy traffic, Anthony Carter.
As he goes for the end zone, he only weighs 165 pounds.
But outside, they're really, you step back out of the, they're marking out the 12 yard line.
He may have stepped out of bounds.
Anthony Carter, what a move, his sixth catch on a little square off.
So they will last, but he went out of the 12 yard line and he made the reception.
But it's a big first down for Michigan.
Roger Jackson, the man, B.B.
And a good kick by Bobby Abert, a square off pattern.
No question, Philadelphia at half time.
We got 2.20 to go here in the first half.
I'll tell you, Philadelphia at half time is going to have to come up with something tough for us.
We have a time out called out by the Michigan Panthers, Bobby Abert.
We'll have an opportunity to go over to talk to the coach, Jim Stanley, of the Michigan Panthers.
Bobby Abert, Northwestern Louisiana State, his school.
And of course, he played there with a great running back, Joe Delaney.
And during the course of one year, Delaney had over a thousand yards on the ground.
But Bobby Abert threw for over 1,800 yards in the air.
So they must have been quite a 1-2 combination these years.
He's got a good arm, he's got a good feet.
I'll tell you, so three guys coming over from the field,
and he's got the good offensive line in front of him now.
He's using that fine protection.
And the gentleman you seek out, Tyrone McGriff, Tom Gornbrook, and Ray Finney.
We talked a little earlier about the feud between Gornbrook and Carl Peterson,
the general manager of the Philadelphia Stars.
Gornbrook was questioned about why he signed with the Michigan Panthers.
He said, I really wanted to play for the Philadelphia Stars.
And Carl Peterson didn't want to sign me.
Carl Peterson said he wanted too much money,
and then they developed into a little bit of a game-calling match.
And the temper squared again between the Philadelphia Stars and the Michigan Panthers.
Philadelphia Stars is pretty happy with their right guard, Chuck Commissy.
He's a little bit bigger, and he can run, and he's going to be a fine guard in this league.
For Tom Gornbrook, playing in Super Bowl 13 with Pittsburgh, Ray Finney,
the right tackle for the Michigan Panthers, playing in two big ones, two Super Bowls.
Commissy, 6'4", 280 pounds, is looking for Mississippi.
Where's Ben Cairn from Michigan?
From the 12-yard line of Philadelphia.
Holloway wide right, receivers put wide to the left side is Carter.
He's in motion to the right side now as AC.
Put him back in there, rolling right, has protection.
Look down field, nobody open.
Now he loves it in the air, so wide open making the text for it.
Oh, it's all the way to the touchdown!
Did he show you a little poise?
Did he show you a little poise that time when they rolled out? Bobby A. there?
Beautiful, he rolled out to the right, and it's most of the time not the dangerous pass.
He threw back against the green, but Jerry Holloway had slipped free right in the middle of the end zone.
And he just lobbed a perfect strike for 6.
9-3, the Michigan Panthers now lead to Philadelphia.
He has scythe with 2-11 to play in the first half.
And it's just typical of Philadelphia, they always let the other team, you know, fool around a little bit,
get 7 points, 10 points up, 2 touchdowns, and then they start playing a little bit better football in the second half.
Novo Boy over to Mississippi, AC try last week, as this one flew, and with 2 minutes, 11 seconds to play in the first half here at Mile High Stadium,
Michigan, jumping on in front of Philadelphia by 7-10-2-3.
Football, that was the excitement we've been anticipating earlier in the football game.
That was a good drive, the last time Michigan got down there, Cleo Miller coughed it up on a fumble.
This drive, just 5 minutes off the clock, 85 yards and 11 plays.
And Michigan is on the board, and a couple of beautiful catches by Anthony Carter set up that touchdown pass to Jerry Holloway.
Then the Parade of the Shore, of course, coming into the football game,
the Philadelphia Stars having the best record of the United States Football League.
During regular season play, 15-3, of course, with the playoff victory last week, 16-3.
The Michigan passes, who started out at 1 win and 4 losses, came in here having won 13 games, losing just 6.
I'll tell you, Bobby Abert likes to go to Holloway, doesn't he?
That's his 12 touchdown catch of the year.
And Bobby Abert, who threw 27 regular season touchdown passes,
the cool of the cucumber that time, as he coughed it into the end zone to the wide open Holloway.
Backseat Alan Harvin standing for Philadelphia at the 3-yard line, Noble Boyovic.
He'll be kicking into a bit of a breeze here at mile high.
Hey, there was 5 out of 6 in that drive, read for 64 yards in the touchdown.
So he's now 11 out of 20 for 148 yards.
Not bad.
Boyovic, 6 at high, coming to the near side, Harvin, angling, goes into the end zone of yard deep.
Up over the 5, 10 to the 15.
Harvin on the seat of the 20-yard knockdown at the 22-yard line.
Alan Harvin, and we should have a 2-minute warning upcoming as Jerome Selly,
a special team player for Michigan, makes the hit on Alan Harvin.
Now, Philadelphia will have the opportunity to tie the football game or get some more points on the board.
2 minutes to play in the first half.
Philadelphia drilling, 10-3.
You know, a lot of knocks against Chuck Fusina this year.
As Fusina, they say, can't throw long, he can't do this, he can't do that.
But when you look at his wickets, at that state, he let the busy line.
The 49 victory is just three losses.
He mentioned to start at 16-3, losing six football games in a touch-spent of time.
It's too bad for a court-backer, can't play the game.
He's the winner, he can play too.
And he can play in this league, and I just like it.
I see how Mike Butler, the 6-foot-7, 250-pound offensive tackle for the scurril team,
the Green Bay Packers, has signed with the United States Football League,
with the Tampa Bay Bandits, and Butler will not play this fall for the pack,
but he'll have a little bit of a vacation in ways that will make spring the play
of the United States Football League.
You have a good one in here at Mile High Stadium.
Of course, last week, the Philadelphia Stars beat the Chicago Blitz in overtime,
and I'm sure George Allen, the coach of the Blitz, sees that scoreboard emblazoned in his dream.
44-38, the Stars gave him a 38-17 fourth-terrier deficit
to up-end the Blitz, and Michigan beat the Oakland Invaders,
37-21 to four-ball, more than 60,000 in the Pontiac Silver Dome last weekend.
For the Philadelphia Stars, the sixth-view scene of the 6-1, 195-pound four-year goal
played in the NFL at Tampa Bay, back up behind Doug Williams there, 79, 80, and 1981.
We see Doug Williams, so I just like his contract with Tampa Bay this year.
That's the yardage. Michigan, 145 Philadelphia, just 40.
We're going to be reading about this, hearing about this.
As long as there's two leagues, you're really going to see the salaries escalate.
And there's a lot of people who believe that five years from now,
there'll be a possibly, you know, we could have a common draft,
where both these leagues just get together.
I don't think there's going to be any merger from these teams back to the NFL.
The NFL is, you know, a solid game.
There's no question about it.
First extension to it, August and August 22.
Receivers wide to the right, wide to the left, lots of the right side.
Put it back to the finish, it gives off Kelvin Bryant around the right.
Bryant shoots at the 21, up over the 25, to the 26,
right line, humble down at the 27, by Alan Hughes, the right defensive end.
He gets up quick and back in the huddle. He likes to play.
Well, they're working on a two-minute plan. They're running the sweet there.
Kelvin Bryant, of course, with that great speed and cutback ability,
he's broken a play there. He got six.
134 to play in the first half, thought of his railing.
You see the dropping control.
Wants the pass out right side, off the hands, incomplete,
intended for Alan Harvin, the 5'9", 200 pound rookie from the University of Cincinnati.
What was Kelvin Bryant open on the delay over the middle?
Kelvin Bryant, nobody was around him.
The linebacker really had a deep drop.
128, clock stopped with the incompletion there. 10 to 3.
Michigan leading the Philadelphia side, the sides of the ball,
3rd and 5, from their own 27-yard line.
Coming to the near side, left, Rodney Parker, 50,
splitting line to the right side, Donald and also right,
back split behind, Tucina on the 3rd and 5, from the Philadelphia 27.
Four-man rest now for the watch, Parker, 57.
He misses almost every time, Fred. Look here.
Tucina dropping the ball as Quarka is coming.
Quarka, having up the 15-yard line.
That's that man, John Quarka.
I'll tell you, he just tips it off as a flag down also.
Back there. Let's check it out.
Well, they marked the ball with a 17 on his back
and the flag was dropped back at the 12-yard line.
Interversion in a second. Just a yellow towel.
The yellow pants of the Philadelphia star.
They have a little yellow towel for the quarterback to keep his hands up.
John Landetta will be kicking from the 3-yard line,
double-faceted back for the Michigan passes.
Landetta, skies and other ones.
Anthony Carter awaits the ball.
He's bumping it into 30, rolling backwards.
He picks it up into 24, left side into 25, into the 30,
into the 40, Carter offended.
At the 36-yard line.
He's so ill.
Okay, he's quick.
Flagback catch.
Flag down at the 27-yard line of Philadelphia.
Landetta came in to that point.
I would think 50 one-yards a kick.
Holding.
And the receding team.
Oh, possession foul. Oh, possession foul.
So with 109 to play in the first half
and a 10-3 Michigan lead,
the passes will have that penalty tacked on
to where they have the football.
Post-possession foul.
Holding against Michigan after Carter had received the puck.
So that's our Elf South Philadelphia.
Because they have plenty of time on the clock.
They've got a couple of timeouts left.
And the ball is all the way up to the 37-yard line.
So it's going to put it back about 20.
Now, we wait for the official to march it off.
Ball coming back.
Dan has ball called it.
It's going to be back 22.
And there's 20.
Let's see where they're going.
He still hasn't put the ball down yet.
Now he goes to the 18-yard line.
Oh, possession foul.
Post-possession foul.
So the foul called against 74.
That was a great inning to tackle.
So it's a first-and-tenth for the Michigan Santers.
The ball is their only 18-yard line.
109 to play in this first half here in my high stadium,
the United States Football League title game.
That's probably going to give us a late season.
Let's see if we can get about eight or nine
before they go in there two minutes more.
Ukraine wide-right, all the way wide-left.
Eight minutes low.
Bobby sets up with a nine.
Pitches down to the other.
Leaping McLean, he has it at the 35.
First half of Michigan at the 36-yard line.
In the USFL, one of the changes is the rules.
When they have it first down inside of two minutes,
they stop the clock until they move the six up.
So Antonio Gibson defending that time.
But a first half of the Michigan Poppers at the 36-yard line.
They're holding 36.
What are your friends coming up here at half-time?
I hope my man Al Hurd will be up here with Dan.
Dan Leavitt at half-time.
He played the National Lappin.
He's played that in since Dill's up about my five.
He can play, I'd say, every time I go to North,
we go down to the club when he's out there.
It's just a thrill just to listen to him play that horn.
He is one of a kind.
Dan, it's time out down on the field
following the 18-yard pass completion.
It's McLean who played his college ball at North Texas State.
Well, to the play in this first half.
It's been a very long first half here at my own high.
Kind of lasts on our clock, almost an hour and 49th, so.
Well, we had a lot of time out.
We had a lot of penalties, a lot of flags that rose up the time.
And most of the games now professional football
is causing the penalties and the cars that are over three and a half hours.
You know, they're almost going over three and a half hours every time
and football has become half an hour longer.
And also in the United States football,
like as you mentioned a little earlier,
balls when they moved the chains here inside the two minutes.
The clock stopped, clock stopped.
But I think they just got out there.
Yes, they did. They did that.
Then the three, the Michigan Panthers leading on a noble boy over to field goal.
And then, there, the Holloway touchdown pass.
A field goal, the only part to the board obviously for something else.
Now, Michigan should try to save their time out.
Just as the scoreboard is correct, they have one time out left.
Holloway wide, left-cutter wide, right back,
split behind, eight there on the first and ten from the Michigan 37.
Eight there with Lacy and Miller in the backfield,
dropping the throw, backcuttles just a 28.
Eight there, pitches to complete the Holloway at the midfield.
Sleip and Holloway with the first down there at the 50,
is driven back deep into Michigan territory by Jonathan Sutton,
but the ball will go at the 50.
Two little turn-in patterns to Derek Holloway.
First, he was lined up on the right side, went down there to deep turn in,
then they landed him up on the left side, down into the turn-in.
All he's going to do is see the outside face.
He's filled up, he's courted in a nickel-deep thing.
Slowly up offense with under 54 seconds to play.
Quarterback, eight there, pitches, down, failed, complete again.
The corner, the corner, time to elude a tackler.
That's a 36-yard line he can't do it,
hanging on for dear life, Mike Lutz, and he's lost out of AC.
And again, everybody's open now.
That offensive line from Michigan is just giving Bobby Abert
all the time in the world to throw the football.
He's over 200 yards throwing here in the first half.
First and 10 for Michigan, from the 35.
Abert flares it out left side,
and completes two-roll for the outstretched hand of Ken Lacy
at the 40-yard line.
And the fourth half, very close.
Stopping the clock with 40 seconds to play in the first half.
Michigan will have the ball second and 10.
That's a 35-yard line out Philadelphia.
10-3, the score of Michigan with the lead.
Carter going out of the football game for the Michigan batters.
Mike McClain in his wide receiver.
McClain can fly as well.
Not quite as fast as Anthony, but it's a pretty good receiver.
I'll tell you, as a Carter's first half performance here,
he's got seven catches close to 100 yards,
and he adds to that the second half.
He's going to put some kind of record up there
to be looked at for a long time.
All the way wide left, McClain wide right,
second and 10 for Michigan,
the 35 of Philadelphia, 40 seconds to play in the first half.
Abert retreating the flow, setting up.
Close the ball near the sideline.
Almost intercepted at the 29-yard line.
Diving in front of the intended receiver.
Mike McClain with Jonathan Suggins.
He almost came up with a very, very big intercession.
He timed it perfectly.
Jeff couldn't quite hold on as he dived,
met the seat, was crawled out in the air,
and just couldn't hold on.
He just covered Frank from McClain like a draw on that square out pattern.
Out of the game, McClain in number one, Anthony Carter,
full of the Michigan batters.
Carter will put wide lights coming to the other side.
Left is Culloway.
We have Williams and Lacey splitting in the backfield behind him there.
And it's third and ten, and they've been successful on turn-in,
so why go away from it?
So, see what he does.
He should go to Carter because everybody's double covered the other side.
Abert dropping the flow, setting up at the 43.
Pressure hit, and wow, coming in quickly.
George Cooper, the outside, lying back at the nail.
Bobby Abert back at the 41.
Carter had man-to-man coverage on the left side.
If he only picked it up from the safety man,
they could have had anything going over there.
32 seconds to play in the first half, and we have a timeout call by Michigan.
He's got a long field goal here.
Well, Novo Boyovitch in the first game, the very first game Dan Lovitt and I did.
In fact, Craig Morton was doing color that game down in Birmingham, Alabama.
Novo kicked two 49-yard field goals and a 48-yarder.
I think he's checking the wind there.
He's checking the wind a little bit.
I think it's against me.
The ball be placed at the 48-yard line.
It's a 58-yard field goal.
He practiced this week, and I know it's only practice. He kicked one from 65.
All right.
But he had a 55-mile-long wind in his hands.
No, seriously, he did kick several and practice from over 60 yards.
So maybe that's why Jim Sam is going to try here with 32 seconds to play out to the left.
4th and 16th.
See, that big sack was a big sack.
Instead of Bobby Abert lost 11 yards on the sack, a lot of gimmicks would have been about the 30-yard line on the incomplete pass.
And ironically, the man of back-to-quarter back, George Cooper, wants a Michigan space,
so I'm sure he's got a lot of people looking around something Michigan on this ball.
I guess so.
But Anthony Carter has really put on a show here in the first half.
So, Novo Boyovitch thinking about this field goal that he's going to have to kick of 58 yards.
He's standing at the 49-yard line of Philadelphia.
Whit Taylor, a quarterback, holds for him.
This is a pretty good position for a kicker.
He kicked it, he's a complete hero.
He misses, so they say, so what? It's 58 yards.
Okay, the snap will be back momentarily to Taylor.
It is back.
The kick is off. The kick is off!
Tell me, how long did the block? It's a ball rolling, Lord.
Hips up by the Philadelphia Stars.
Now the Stars have got to turn around here.
26 seconds left, but they've got no time out on the clock now.
Philadelphia with no time out for a meeting.
Now they've got to try to go down and put three on the board.
So Paul, do you feel that that was pretty good then?
Pretty good play.
Well, they really felt he had a chance to make that field goal. I think they should have.
Well, what's the pause 10 seconds for station identification?
You missed the ABC radio network.
First and gentle for Philadelphia.
No, it's only 47 of Mexicans.
You've seen a throw with 23 seconds.
You've seen a throw, it's outfield to 50-50 and completed the 35-yard line of Michigan office fingertip.
And the plays open for them too.
It's a turning pattern, because he just couldn't get control of it.
David Green was back there depending, but since he had his hands on the football.
19 seconds, 7 seconds off the clock.
That again.
Now we looked and see as we recall on that play,
Scott Warner was coming in, but there was like 20 more may have gotten his hand on the football to block it.
The 58-yard field goal attempt.
The 19 seconds of play down the first half ball.
We have second and 10 for Philadelphia from the 47 of Mexicans.
You can see that wide right, wide left, back foot in the backfield, behind quarterback, Cusina.
Cusina dropping the throw at his own 45, 20 a try, lobbed down field, long for five,
and with a leaping cry at the 15, incomplete.
Pretty good pitch, that time.
Going full speed down the left sideline.
Cusina had to put a little more, more touch on the ball than it was incomplete.
He should have angled a little bit higher.
He threw it too much on the line.
Talked about that block field, that was the first block tick of the year for Philadelphia.
Couldn't come in a better time.
You know, it was on on that play.
John Corker was back there defending, and the big guy, Cork,
he went pretty good.
Yes he does.
Scott's a start with Calvin Bryant.
12 seconds to play in the first half now.
Michigan leading 10-3 over Philadelphia.
The start of the football third and 10, from the 47 of Mexicans.
Cusina back, sending the throw.
Back at the 41-yard line of Philadelphia.
Coming in, John Benezac.
The pool who has seen plenty of action from Eastern Michigan in eight years,
seven years with Pittsburgh.
He has three Super Bowl rings, as Mr. Benezac.
The ball will be marked at the 43-yard line of the Philadelphia stars.
It'll be fourth down, and 20 for the stars with 5-4.
And I think they're going to let the clock one out as they head to the right corner here,
to the locker room, and there's the end of the first half.
With that score, Michigan 10, Philadelphia 3.
The opening period, three seconds from the finish of the first.
Michigan got three on a field goal worth 33.
Philadelphia got the three points back on a 30-yard field goal by David Trout,
with 7-18 left in the half.
The Panthers, Bobby Abert, with just over two minutes to play in the first half,
spotted a wide-open receiver in the end zone for a sixth on a wide right.
With Superfoot wide to the left side, he's in motion to the right side now, as they see.
Put it back in there, rolling right.
Has protection. Hook down field.
Nobody open, now he's off to the end zone.
Wide-over making the catch for a total right for the hook down.
And the point after, puts us right here where we are now.
10-3, Michigan Panthers leading Philadelphia, both clubs are back out here.
Mile-high stadiums, but man for back to make the call, and here we go.
Well, thank you very much, Dan. Love it.
10-3 score, Michigan in front of Philadelphia.
And we had hoped that the humidity that seemed to plague us this evening would dissipate,
but still it's a pretty warm evening here in the Mile-high city.
It sure is. It's a little hot, muggy, but that'll take you out of these football players there.
At a half-time, the one thing that's saying,
if we got one more half to go in the season's over, let's give it 110%.
Now David Trump starts the second half of the kick.
Coming to the leader's sideline to Jerome Selly.
Selly will watch the ball bounce and go through the end zone.
It'll be a touch-back for the Michigan Panthers.
First and 10 from the Panthers, 20-yard line.
And I'll tell you, the most amazing statistic.
Total net yards, Michigan.
251, Philadelphia, 69.
Now for a statistic wise, you might look up on the board,
but Michigan could be leading, what, 24 to 3?
Instead, they're only trailing by 7 points.
And I'll tell you, this is the way Philadelphia happens to Philadelphia.
You see them, Fred, four times an hour in half this year.
I've seen them on three occasions. They always come back in the second half.
They are a second half of the court.
So Bobby A. Bear, with his 7-point lead to protect,
and then to bounce upon with 14-54 to go here in the third quarter,
as he was wide right, wide left, back foot behind him in the backfield.
A. Bear gets the snap, gives off the 10-lacing.
Lacey leaps up over the 23 to the 24 to the 25-yard line,
maybe even to the 26-yard line for 10-lacing.
Good little trap blocking up, Bobby picked up 6.
A. Bear, first half, 13, 25, 13 out of 25,
194 yards throwing the football.
Six of those went to Anthony Carter for 105 yards.
So Lacey, with a 6-yard gain that time, it'll be second and 4,
for Michigan from the Panthers, 26-yard line.
Carter, wide to the right side,
Holloway splitting left as Michigan and the White jerseys move from right to left
across the radio dial.
Back overloaded left side in the backfield.
Quarterback A. Bear, gives off again to Lacey.
Kind of a sneak-hand off that time as Lacey got up to the 28-yard line.
Cut about two, is going to bring up third and two,
and Michigan comes right outside the Dominique Alonso streaming.
Second right down to the Philadelphia soot.
Get that first down, Ruffin.
To gain a little superiority edge in that offensive line,
and usually in the second half, the offensive line will tell the tale.
Mike will turn it around, or Miss Kim will control it.
Mike Lutz making the tackle one yard shy of the first down yard,
it's four, from the Philadelphia side,
and the Michigan Panthers now will have a double-played end
with offensive tackle, way 20, lined up as the end on the left side.
Backs, wait for 90, Bear on the third and one from the 29.
Hand off to Cleo Miller, he has the first down over the 30s of the 31-yard line.
He has both hands on the football, and he's talking about the fumble, right?
Right, and don't ever think that running back to Cleo Miller is not thinking about fumbling.
Once you fumble in a football game, or running back,
it's always in your mind,
well I'm not going to fumble with a cologne in this football.
You just always think of it, you don't want to do it again.
Now we feel a bit of a cool breeze blowing here at Marahide Stadium.
With a first and 10 from Michigan in the 31, wide right cutters,
all the way wide left, backs against, with Bobby A. Bear on the backfield.
A. Bear with a 10-3 lead over Philadelphia, his Panthers have it.
They hand off to Miller, A. Bear dropping to throw 20-a-time.
Going long for Carter, Carter,
a switch between the receivers, but the ball is over-thrown.
Back to Fendi, we have Scott Warner along with Antonio Gibson,
an A-C switch between the receivers,
but the ball was just laid out a little too far for action central.
He cut it, gone on, they do that ball about 65 yards.
Fendi Carter was looking at a double team, he was looking at help from the inside
over the face, he was Scott Warner, and is that our friend out there, Clarence Chapman?
No, that Chapman is on the other side with Michigan,
but anyway, he was looking for a little bump there, maybe a flag being thrown,
and he was kind of pegging for it and he didn't get it.
So on the first down, the Panthers go for the bomb,
they now have a second intent, they're all 31,
McLean wide left side, Holloway wide right, as Carter gets the rest,
Fax was behind Bobby A-Bear on the second and ten.
A-Bear, long count, dropping to flow, setting up at the 24th time,
players are on right side, making a reception,
oh that's a 34-yard line, Cleo Miller, Miller did a good job of testing the ballers,
it was very low, and Antonio Gibson's falling upon Cleo Miller immediately.
Miller had to dig that one out of the dirt, he sure did,
and he might have caught it on the ground too,
he picked up four on the completion, he's going to bring up third and sixth now.
Anthony Carter at six catches, 105 yards long,
27 yards catch in the first half,
but I'd say he is a dangerous, dangerous football player.
Carter of course with a big 10-witted, 37 cut-down receptions in his college days,
will go wide to the right side, Holloway's foot's left on the third and sixth,
from the 35, follow the Michigan Panthers.
A-Bear, deep drop, over the middle, complete the cut-out of the first down,
cut-out of the first down at the 45, moves on to the 47.
I'd say he can't do anything about it, since they changed the rules about bumping around
a few years ago on professional football,
he can only hit that five receiver once.
Both wide receivers that time, Fred, were double-covered,
they rolled up the zone, double-grown on the outside, Carter just left the guy right,
right in his tracks, cut across the middle for the first down.
And Jonathan Sutton tackled I.C. Carter, after a 13-yard game,
they placed the ball at the 48 of Michigan where it's first and 10.
So he'd up a little time in his spot, good to same drive here, 11-20, almost four minutes gone
on this opening drive of the second half, they'll run in now,
he'll start to eat up a little more time.
Double-tied in, action in the Michigan line,
offside, left side, hand off the lacy, he goes nowhere.
Action on the left side of the line, like a car,
the tight end fired out just a bit prematurely,
and the flag was blown.
So the outside call will go against the Michigan passers.
They don't need to take style here.
Now the officials are conversing now with the Philadelphia Stars,
and with Sam Mills, there's an option they won't take.
Mills looking over to his vent,
and Morris says no, don't take the penalty.
As Coach Jim Morris, the head coach of the Philadelphia Stars,
weighs down like an up-line, it's a win safe.
So, they're over in the off-hand, over the decline, second down.
So it'll be second at 10 for Michigan,
from their own 48 yard line.
Now they have the ball, did they move that ball a yard closer,
or is that just my imagination?
Well, it looks like it's on the 49.
It is, it's on the 49 yard line.
So it's second at 10, the ball was on the 48 before,
but now it's on the 49.
I guess he gained a yard on the play.
Quarterback A-Bair dropping the throw,
plenty of time, looking down, now he's going to be hit.
He rolls out of a tackle, but as he rolls off,
the official blows the play dead.
Applying the pressure that time,
for the Philadelphia Stars,
looks like big Don Sielder, the likes offensive end.
Sielder had the guy A-Bair around the ankle,
Bobby did a pure wet trying to escape,
and as he did the official blew the play down.
Let's see, that's the new rule of the defensive football.
Once you get a hand on the quarterback,
and almost anywhere they're going to blow the whistle,
it should not have been blown here.
He really was, didn't have control of him.
He got him around the ankle and he yanked free.
A third years ago, that was not a benefit.
Now there's a third and 17th from Michigan,
from their own 41 yard line,
10-46 to play in the third quarter,
10-3 Michigan leading on with a football,
Carter wide right, on the way wide left,
that's split, behind A-Bair.
A-Bair to throw on the long yardage,
and third, lost it on a clean right side to Lacey.
Lacey to the 40, to the 45,
on the sideline to the 50,
and to the 45, to the 40,
to the 45, for Michigan, and Lacey gets down to the football,
up to 30 yard line.
What a beautiful call, what a big play,
what a big pick up from Michigan.
They caught him in a full blitz,
a clean pass to the right side,
Lacey had one man to beat,
it was a good block going down the left side,
I think it was Lush over there, got cut down,
and then Lacey got the first down,
all the way down to the 31 yard line.
Down of his second, making the saving tackle on,
10 Lacey, a 28 yard game,
and he got back on that screen right.
So the clock, with 9.54 to play in the third quarter,
and the Michigan Panthers get that spark,
to ignite what they hope will be a rally here,
as they still lead in the football game, 10-3.
Holloway left, pressure wide right,
backs against the behind, A-Bair,
the ball at the 31, up to the deltia.
A-Bair gets it off right side to Miller,
he cuts up at the 30, inside the 30,
now out of the 26, shine line,
the veteran Cleo Miller,
tackled on the play by a bunch of those red jerseys,
the Clemson jerseys of the Philadelphia Stars.
All beautiful series in the opening of the second half,
put on by the Michigan Panthers.
They took it in the end zone,
ball at the 20 yard line,
and they moved about 4 first downs here in this drive.
They still had it 9 minutes to go,
that 6 minutes off that clock in this drive already.
Ball at the 27th of Philadelphia,
4 yard game by Miller, puts it second and 6th.
A-Bair with Carter left,
Holloway wide right, backs with A-Bair to throw,
looking to Holloway, lost it to the sideline over the long,
it's a 15 yard line,
intended for Derek Holloway and far across the field,
that's up to 50.
He's over through, they knew it right away.
So Bobby A-Bair,
a little bit long for the little guy, Derek Holloway,
Holloway only 5'7",
165 pounds, but I think he would have been
Karim Abdul-Jabbar if he wanted to catch that one.
That's true, it was just about
10 foot over there.
Third down at 6th,
4 Michigan,
the ball still at the 27th of Philadelphia,
Holloway to the near side, left, Carter,
wide right, backs again,
put behind Bobby A-Bair.
Double cover, both the outside man,
that means that A-Bair dropping to throw,
looking for Carter.
Fires the ball, completes the Anthony at the 15 yard line,
first down for the Michigan trappers,
Carter falls 4 to the 14,
Jonathan's second defending.
That turn in pattern is one of the best of all time.
You've got the perfect execution
at that time, Carter.
No forecover is also about filling out,
they haven't covered the turn in all night long,
and a lot of times they have a double roll-up zone
on the outside,
kind of double cover both guys,
Carter just makes a fool of it.
First and 10 for the
Michigan trappers from the 14
of Philadelphia,
McLean replacing Carter, wide to the left side,
Slotting left to Holloway,
wide right side, backs against,
with behind A-Bair.
The lucky quarterback
takes a handoff to another rose,
right side, looks into the end zone,
lost out there, the pass incomplete,
intended to the tight end,
Mike Cobb, but overthrown by a mile.
Mike Cobb, hanging into the right side,
down the center of the field,
the ball was overthrown.
Carter, about 200,
not Carter, excuse that,
A-Bair, 250 yards
Bobby A-Bair, the flying rookie,
the number one quarterback
in the United States Football League
in their leading system,
has a second and 10
for the trappers from the 14
of Philadelphia, Carter, wide left,
Holloway, wide right, now you've got your
T-Fest second pass right now,
for it to take up something to the outside
of Mike Blakeon on the run.
A-Bair long shot, the throw, looking right,
looking for Holloway, but he swears it out
the ball with a 10 right in his hand.
Cleo Miller has the bad hand,
those spaces.
He was just kind of running before he got him.
I don't think Cleo Miller's hands is the best part
of his game.
Well, he had a little trouble hanging
onto the football when they gave it to him
in the gut here in the first half.
I stopped a few others, so,
now Cleo Miller of course,
played the NFL ball for the Cleveland Browns
one year rushing for over 700 yards in Cleveland.
So, then send now
for the Panthers, the ball resting
at the Philadelphia 14, Holloway to the
near side, let's Carter, wide right.
A-Bair on the third, and then
they come up with a series of third downplays,
A-Bair dropping, looks left side,
complete the Holloway, Holloway, into the end
corner of the touch, we're hanging on for a touchdown.
I'll tell you, Bobby A-Bair still down,
he's banged up after 22
yard line, he's going to be a touchdown
for Michigan, but it may be a costly one.
Bobby A-Bair
really picked up the blitz
in the honey, Philadelphia was in a blitz,
he went back, he sent, he had the automatic
call on the outside, Holloway on the full
pattern, he got rid of it beautifully
for the touchdown, but A-Bair's hurt.
And that's the second A-Bair
to Holloway pass for the night, and it's
now at 16 to 3, for the touchdown,
16 to 3
lead for the Michigan Panthers, and Bobby A-Bair
is flat on his back at the 20 yard line,
four members of the Michigan
Panther training staff, tending
to the rookie quarterback Bobby A-Bair, and as
Paul mentioned, he got stuck.
Yep, I really wasn't following
Bobby A-Bair's progress after he
threw the football, because I was watching
Holloway, cut over the middle on the full
pattern. A-Bair tonight, 18
of 32 for 265
yards and two touchdown passes, both to
the smooth, Derek Holloway, and A-Bair
still flat on his back.
Now,
we'll wait the extra point.
So Bobby A-Bair
is down, so there's a break in the
corner of the score, Michigan 16
for the VELTA 3, we'll be back to the
USFL title game after this.
Now, Mobile Boy over, it's the
uprights to add to 17 points for Michigan
17 to 3, the fastest lead for the
VELTA in this title game with 749
to play in the third corner, there's a
top out of this USFL game with that score,
Michigan 17 for the VELTA 3, this is the
ABC Radio Network.
746 to play in the third corner
and Mobile Boy over, it's
VELTA 1, high and long beyond the
end line, Alan Harvin, the man
back from Philadelphia can only watch
his fly through and only a
touchdown, first and 10 for Philadelphia
from the start, 20-yard line
and Chuck Ducita, the man who's been
a magician all year and rallying his team,
better pull the rabbit out of the hat
pretty soon. Let's see if he can do it
again, I'll tell you this is the first
time Philadelphia's had the ball in the
third corner, 743 to go
and Michigan controlled the ball like that.
So Chuck Ducita will send Alan
Harvin out of the ball game with Taylor
the reserve cornerback for the Michigan
Panthers is warming up and
Paul and I thought that Bobby Abert
had lost consciousness for a while
when he was struck because he was
waiting flat on his back, not moving,
they had four trainers around him, but
then when we booked for our commercial
Bobby Abert lift up and run off the field
and that family is okay. Well
there's a part of the action again with
the score, Michigan 17-fold, obviously
this is the ABC Radio Network.
Philadelphia from the side is 20, pitch out
right side, Kelvin Bryant coming around
with a block and full and reverse to the
save of the 12, Bryant out front
the tackle in the 10, left side to the
15-20, to the 25-40, first off for
the venture, Bryant couple bound
and the 41-yard line, excellent
by Kelvin Bryant and Oliver Davis
Davis, what's up from Michigan?
I thought he was a B3
field in 5 minutes, Kelvin Bryant
he's not even breathing down there
Kelvin Bryant picked up 22 yards
from that reverse that Philadelphia
first time they got a hold of the
football over the first play in the
second half, exposed for 22
John Corker should have had
Kelvin Bryant in the backfield but
Bryant outlanded the tackle. He's
going to be Corker in the footway
and fuller outfield from the long
42-yard line, you see them with an
eye stock behind them, down with a man in
motion right side, you see them take the
hand off the blind, rolls right foot
down field, close, from pitch to 15
to 45, up into the 50 down to the 40
and stops at the 59, fly down
and David Greenwood, they have
seen coming on a late hit, right hit
and that's going to be 15 more and
like lightning, throw it out, you
fight back, they trail by 14
and you play and they are striking
20-yard gain on that fast
and they are in the first penalty
ball that's going to be hard
off from the 39 yard line
and 15 should be about to 24
5 hours, 64 yards left
football, out of the line
with a 41 out of the season
push down
David Greenwood as we call it, late with a hit
late with a hit and there was a good call
by the referee because
50 had gotten the first down
about 24 yards on that fast
so at first intense
it's in the 23
off, missing and following the completion
and penalty, receiving wide right, wide
left, pull from the tight end, lose some muscle
right, hand off, in the back field
a harvon, harvon is getting the tackle
up over the 20, harvon down to the 16
yard line and that little guy can
run with gusto, if you just look
if Philadelphia comes
if they were sleeping
in the first half, they are not sleeping
in the second half, they look like they are a lot away
and they do this constantly
they just play much better football
in the second half, all of a sudden
the best of team seems to be
lollygagging around on the offense
when the star's harvester starts
and now here they come again
they gotta put them on the board though
they sail about towards the second and
four, over Philadelphia from the
17 of Michigan, receiving
wide right, wide left, this right side
don't have it again, harvon
missed, inadvertently by David Greenwood
back at the 20
line and cumbled on, Greenwood
was trying to send off a blocker
and he inadvertently got his body
underneath the legs of Harvon, just played back
Greenwood to strong safety, he's got two
strong safeties in his game, David Greenwood
from Michigan, Scott Warner
for Philadelphia
the ballers place
at the 19 line, how would he do
you go for upstairs, take the field goal
if it's incomplete, or you run it twice
try to get the first foul, is there a
flag down at the 9 line,
right, there's a flag down at the 9
line, I guess it's a flag
I don't think it's
he's seen a personal foul, I guess
fill it out, oh, cool
there's a blocker
now, Chuck you've seen
a unbuckled skin strap, puts his helmet
back on his head, it was a bit disgusted
by that one, it was a tough call
so the ball will be drawn back
to the 34 line
this is how
we're in 7 on the offense
second down
Tom Donovan
the blocker was called to personal foul
so it's going to be a second
and 21 now
for Philadelphia
from the 34 line of
the Michigan passers, receives a wide
right, two of them wide to the left side
back, put behind Cicina in the back field
on the second and 21, Cicina over
the left side, looking at the center
line, blocking Cicina, stopping the throw
setting up at the 43, Cicina down field
with a fast complete to 50
in the 20-50 style forward
to the 17 line of the Michigan passers
this game on that pass is
completion as Cicina
brings the ball to the 17 line
good timing on that turn of pass
whenever you see a quarterback go back
and go on rhythm, they drop back
five or six yards, set up and he releases
the ball quickly, you know the receiver
is going to be complete, but that quarterback
is going for the timing pass, there was a turn
in, beautifully completed, they got it
right back, third and five
from the 17 of Michigan
Florence Chapman, the man beaten that time
as Cicina, with the back
put in the back field behind him, Wally
and a carbon, wide receiver to the right
side, Cicina dropping the throw, Cicina
with some pressure, lost the pass
incomplete, intended down
at the 14 line
for a diving, Lurie Collier, defending
David Greenwood, Cicina
wants to go for it, but it's too early here
in the third quarter, or maybe they will
go for it, and he should go for the field goal
here, here comes Trout, David Trout
their fine field goal kicker, their leading
scorer in the United States football league
for this inaugural season, will be kicking
the football, attempting a field goal
of about 34 yards, kicking out of the
hold of quarterback, reserve quarterback
Jim Cron
so, Trout who already has a field goal
that was set up tonight, gets the ball back
to kick up, to kick wide, no good
no good, Michigan passers
gonna break that tie
he hooked it, David Trout
28 out of 42 on field goals on the
year, just misses it
he hooked it to the left
well, there's a timeout on the playing field
with a score, Michigan 17
Philadelphia 3 will be back to the
United States football league champion
to get after this
444
to play in the third quarter, Michigan 17
Philadelphia 3
the field goal missed by David Trout
sets the ball up at the 20 yard line
of the Michigan passers
so, Bobby Abert 18 completions
34 attempts, 261 yards
two touchdowns this evening
we'll see if Whit Taylor comes in, because Abert
as you may remember on the last series
was stuck pretty good, but Bobby Abert
is in the football game
Whit Taylor will not come in
Whit Taylor is warming up on the side
with Bobby Abert, who's already been
warm all day long
so Abert with a hallway wide
to the right side, Carter to the near side
left and back, puts behind him on the first down
gives off to Cleo Miller, Miller chucking
along to 20 to the 25, Miller
close to a first down, as he lunges
forward to the 30-yard line
hanging all over his leg, whereas the
linebacker Mike Edwards
let's see if they give the
progress for the first down, or whether
they say it's going to be shy by about an inch or two
Anthony Carter limping off
on the left side, looks like he hurt
his left hand on his leg
and he had that same problem
in the first half, maybe a cramp
up there, I think so, McClean
going wide to the right side
will go double plate end here
for the Michigan passers on the second
end one, the passers
they there, bouncing down behind the center
and off right side, Miller with a first
down, Miller with a 35
and a 40, Miller up for the
45-yard line of Michigan, tumbled down
at the 48-yard line
Cleo Miller of the Michigan passers
finally stopped by Jonathan
something but not before a big gain
and a first down, pulled the passers
18 yards off the right side, that offensive
line, which has given
Bobby Abert very very good pass
protection, and they win the football
when they only wanted to
so they're really doing the best job
and I tell you, I have to go back
to what that offensive coach
George Dixon told me, the addition
of Tyrone McGrift, Tom Ford,
Darnbrook and Ray Pinty, that's the
difference that this gives off at the line
Michigan leading 70-3 with a first
and 10 on their long 48
and Cleo Miller with a football
protecting that ball with 12 hands
as he bangs inside, fill it up your territory
at the 47, Mike loves the tackle
oh, that's a two beautiful drive
but on our Michigan passers here in the
80 yards, they took
7.5 minutes off that con, got the
touchdown, now they've got it back
they got it back after Miss Field goal
and they picked up two first down
there's also six, another three or four
minutes off that pass, Cleo Miller out of
the football game now for the Michigan passers
he's running over to the far side line
Lacey will be the long
step back behind Abert, we have
Holloway and McLean splitting to the
right side, both the wide receivers
and left side, now Holloway coming in most
of the way to the right side, eight there on the second
and six, jumping the ball, plays it out
inside, hits by Lacey at the 45
Lacey over the 50 and out of the ball
in fill it up your territory at the 48
you said uh oh, but you thought it was a late hit
Lacey takes so two, he was
really thrown to the ground when he was
about 5 yards out about
Jonathan Sutton the man
committing the action not being seen alive
no more gain on that play but you got to
say an excellent reception by Lacey
you had a reach around behind him to catch
the football and then he brought it up to the
minus permit and maybe a yard 35
from Michigan from
the 47 of Philadelphia
out of the ball game of the
receiver, McDonnell Oden McLean
into the ball game, we have
Holloway and McLean and they will
both split wide to the
no they won't, now Holloway and McLean
will come to the left side
they got a second time out
they didn't know what they were doing
once they went right they came left
and then they looked at Bobby Adrian and said
what are we doing? Bobby Adrian said we're taking a time out
so two 16s of play in the third
quarter, Michigan with a 17 to 3
lead and now on a human
night, uncharacteristic for Denver
we have a time out on the field
and the Michigan batters as well
have pointed out so often in this third
quarter chewing up the clock
and that's what you want to do to win football
unless you've got a 14-point lead
what a steak as much time off that
you can, that offensive line
just spent the first half
Phil Nelkis, well
they had a few lightning bolts when they got
a hold of the football but they got it down to the
20 to Mr. Field's hole, I take a lot of wind
out of your sails
Paul, a question about the expansion of the
United States football league, a lot of people say the league
is expanding too rapidly do you think so?
Well it could cause the problems
for next year although I definitely think
that culture will be a surprise
team in the league
I haven't had so much force there
I'll tell you
you watched a lot of people show up to watch the quick football
again next year, they have decent intent
without Houston
Houston will be a tough market
no doubt about it, Gary Argibus
will have a tough
road to hold down in Houston
a lot of teams already in the league out, they just don't
keep bringing in six or five
surely they're not going to put in six teams
next year after that, you know
it's going fast now I think
but everybody wants to get in the league
you know, and $1,000,000
$1,000,000, that's what
36 million
that is about it, it's a 12 team
so
everybody's talking about
the team losing money, they start cutting up
that 36 million that they can't put everybody in the black
well, Brad Kobe
the owner of the Oakland invaders that
planned on losing over a million and a half this year
he lost a million he said hey
we did pretty well
I'd be like to lose a million dollars and be happy
so I would
I would say you're that right away
so we still have a time off down on the field
Michigan 7C Philadelphia 3
258 to play in the third quarter
and Michigan batter seems to have had the football
post to the third quarter
and we're having a rather long time out here
down here now
and I wonder what the delay is, the batter wondering that too
is they get a little restless in the stands
and putting a car on hand at
the end of the day
and we're running the clock
that's what we're doing folks
it was wrong
then there
it's 234
the stop is 240 and I don't think it's
the official time until on the field
so it goes down
226
225
it's worth to the fifth
225 to go in the third quarter
Bobby A there
that's the last one
they just bring that in
lots of the right side
the receivers with left is Selly
they come on to this time
they don't have that in the third
that's the last they have
McLean and Holloway on the right side
A-Bear rolling right this time
looking down field lost the pass
and incomplete
the pass being tipped by linebacker
Jeff Gabrielson out of the reach of the receivers
full hallway was wide open
5 yards down field
and he didn't put enough height on the ball
one linebacker 5 yards back
cut his hands on it
but David Greenwood
will be in the front
Greenwood will kick the ball away from his
on 39 yard line
he averaged 40 yards to a kick for two in the first half
long safety back
each shot of water for Philadelphia
one or standing at the 10
Greenwood to look even with confidence
get the ball
we'll go into the end zone
first in 10 for Philadelphia
from the start of 20 yard line
of course Greenwood was angling for the near left side
and the ball just sailed into the end zone
but a beautiful spiral by David Greenwood
and the Philadelphia Tigers
who trailed 17-3 with 210 to play
in the third quarter we'll have the football once again
it's definitely an advantage to kick
either a field or a front right to left
I'll tell you the wind's coming out
out of this end
whoever punched it that way
he did about 65 yards in the end
so
17-3 Michigan leading Philadelphia
with 5 seconds for safe and unedification
this is the ABC Radio Network
who's done the play third quarter
Maraheus Stadium, Dan Lovett
all holding clip bands for bringing you this
United States football league first
championship title free
Michigan leading 17-3
on a long human night in the
mile high city
the Pappers is back to
to a man taking their helmet off
during the time out here
and getting a nice
breath of fresh air
the Tigers huddled back at the 10 yard line
as they will take over first in 10
from their own 20 yard line
as you see that as we mentioned before
better start working as magic
and get the ball off and during the course of the season
to lead the Philadelphia Tigers
to a 15-3 regular season
Maraheus the best in the United States football league
well, money's on the table right now
the cut usually comes through under these
circumstances, let's see if we can do it again
wide to the left side of the table
wide right man in motion to the left side
to the right side, Kelvin Bryant gets the block
turn for quarter 25
to the 34 yard line
is that guy a tough runner
Kelvin Bryant finally stopped down there
by David Chipps in the nose tackle
who came all the way across field to make the tackle
I tell you, he hasn't
ran the football for many times
I think in Philadelphia like now they're sharing about 14
takes up a lot of time
he got the first down, picked up 14
he's got about 70 yards rushing already
78
about 11 carries, 78 yards
7 yard
average running the football but
based on the past a little bit too much I think
with
you've seen it done here
first and gentlemen zone 34 he has his
paper to see that's got 50 wide to the left side
Harbin
down to the eye behind him
hits comes to Harbin, who likes to throw
Harbin can throw the ball down field
wide down field to receive a mix of the kits
getting the football watching Parker
he goes right about
reaching the territory at the 22 yard line
Clarence Chipps and hanging all over him
has worked on on a great
catch by watching Parker on the half back pass
for Alan Harbin
Alan Harbin served a wounded duck just as far as he
could, what a catch by Parker
he caught a two yard kit
he caught it between Greenwood
and Chipps and I think they're back on the defense
wasn't the trade-off, I tell you one thing
the defenders were not even looking
we're not even
nowhere near the football and Parker
just got a beautiful catch
and Parker bobbled the football as he went to the
turf but did not allow it to hit
and he kept the cuts in his duck for the reception
he's the first been sent to Philadelphia from the
23 of Michigan's back, put behind
Yucina in the back field to receive a wide right
wide left
Yucina heads off to Harbin
Harbin is, I don't know what you call that
is this a tackle with the 21
yard line as Harbin
tried to get around outside and Kyle
Borland got both of his legs
around the legs of the runner and squeezed him together
to pull him down
picked up about a yard, a yard to shoot
so Borland
went to the University of Wisconsin
and was actually recommended for the Michigan
Panther Ball Club by his
Badger teammate David Greenwood
made the ball seem it's been a fine addition
to the Michigan Panther
second and eighth following the 2 yard
game, it's right side to the big guy
Kelvin Bryant, Bryant
diving inside the 10 out of
about the 8.5 yard line
he has the first down and
Goldberg goes for the Philadelphia
Stars, Clarence Chapman Gold
Kelvin Bryant out of about
he's a great running back, he needed
8, he got about 12 or 13 yards
when that run around the right track
and I'll tell you, the closer he gets
to the goal line the harder he gets
to get run, he is a great great runner
of course Kelvin Bryant scored the top
down and overtime to send the Philadelphia
Stars to Denver for
their title game, 90 yards now
for Kelvin Bryant, he's taking a
breather now, Harbin out of the
eyes and he's back, look at what
he's got, Cusino with
Fiske to the right side and his right left side
fake fit, Cusino lobs it off
over to all in attendance for Alan Harbin
just out of his reach to the 15 yard line
almost could have been a lateral
to the back of him
Fiske was angling into the end zone
but he was covered well and it looked like
that Cusino was
watching Fiske as he cut across with
47 seconds to play in this
third quarter here at Mile Eyes,
Stadium Michigan 17, Philadelphia
with a football second and goal to go
from Cusino
not that big a lead for the amount
of yardies that Michigan has
over this Philadelphia team
it's still almost a little
unique that they only curled up two cuts down
and if they can get in here they're right back
in his football game, Fiske wide right
puncher and call your wide to the left side
and off to Harbin, Harbin
inside the 5 to the 4 and a
half yard line on the draw
Alan Harbin taking the handoff
from quarterback Cusino
they mark the ball at the 5 yard line
where it will be third and goal to go
Ronnie Padgett the defensive end
making the tackle for the Michigan Panthers
he's got to put Kelvin Brown back in
here he comes
say they're not going to leave him out down here are they
well
and that's it there's the end
of the third quarter with the score
Michigan 17, Philadelphia
play this to the EDC
and then
all haunting 15 minutes
of regulations way remaining in this
USFL title game Michigan
leading Philadelphia 17 to 3
but the start is up to football
third and five, third and goal to go
from the Michigan at five and we remember
back to last week and what
Cusino did 12 of
15 passes in the final
12 minutes and 4 seconds of regulations
on for 146 yards
five again and then of course the start
of the split in overtime and they were way behind
starting off the fourth quarter they take the
field goal and then score three touchdowns after
that and score the touchdown
in the overtime so let's see
if Philadelphia can
come up with another of this
patented fourth quarter comeback
Michigan 234 yards
to the air tonight
93 only for Philadelphia
first down Michigan 22
Philadelphia 14
19 for Michigan 115
for Philadelphia
Philadelphia has a football almost 8 minutes
left than Michigan
so Michigan has
controlled it up to now and let's see if that
little momentum starts to swing
third and goal to go for the Philadelphia
start from the five yard line of the Michigan
passers
the only three points on the board tonight
a field goal from David Trout
who's also missed
the field goal tonight
why did the right side go 50
the beneath started left
they lost the goal to that Irving
that's the big right tackle
out of the eye they shift Donovan
back split behind the quarterback
Fusina faked off to Brian
and Fusina will be
fun to the ground by John Corker
back at the 12 yard line
of the play of seven yards
the big guy the back man Corker
getting the quarter pass and an unusual call
they tried to bootleg they tried in the first half
John Corker was not even
and he's always coming on the blitz
the last question that call because they
know that land batter is going to be coming
Corker always blitzes
so they knew he was coming as a very
it's a gambling type of play to take under
those circumstances so David Trout
who kicked the 30 yard field goal in the
second period will be a tempting
one a year of about
28 yards
the ball is back to kick up to kick
high and the kick is good
14 36 the play in the football
game in regulation time it's now
Michigan 17 Philadelphia 6
there's a timeout on the playing field with that
score Michigan 17
Philadelphia 6 will be back to the US
as a championship after this
now Philadelphia
starts the fourth quarter
here in my high stadium in the championship
game as they did last week in the playoff
game with a field goal making
the score Michigan 17 Philadelphia 6
and now we'll
see if last week
a fourth split went into a shell
and you see it happens so many times
in the first quarter
they get to the fourth quarter and they try
the old timeout game 1 2 3 run
and then they run it they don't want to take
a chance on any interceptions and
let's see if Jim Stanley plays a little bit different
I can't but
David Trout booms in my high
silly makes the catch of the goal line
up over the 5 ending what's that in the 10 to the 15
some of them 40 to 40
at the 36
sideline
Jerome Silly from western Illinois
a rookie finally brought down by Sam
Mills the great linebacker
of Philadelphia side for the good
an excellent return
by Silly and good field positions
and it will be interesting
for him to see what Jim
Stanley has in his mind here with the
he will sit on the football or whether attack
no I don't think with Bobby
there you're going to just keep running it
every time I don't think
the Brits do a pass to the fourth quarter last week
well they did keep going fast to the fourth quarter
I'll tell you that
they took out their first clean running back
long and Spencer put in Boatner and
Denison and that kind of
so-do's caught a wider left side
double tight end here back split
Lacey and Miller jumping the throw
is they there let's try to
Lacey he hit it quick steps up to
football with the 35 yard line
and I think that Lacey heard that man coming at him
there it is
so the ball will remain
at the 36 second down and 10
for Michigan 14 20 to play in this
football game
at mile high stadium Denver still
no report on the official attendance for the
night's ball game he had estimated about 45,000
putting a 12 here on this
four shoe shaped football field
an excellent facility here at mile high stadium
but why did it right side
on the way split left
Miller and Lacey split behind Avaire
in the backfield on the second and 10
Avaire looking to throw
looking right now straight over the middle
20 at five
lost the ball back to Obama's rock
intercepted by Luss
the footballer at the 38 yard line
it's just like the Warner
14 to 35 to the 40
stop at the 40 yard line
Mike Luss maybe intercepted
send Lotto back to Warner
it took a long time to get there
over the throne lost the 350
down there just picked it up easily
so this is the time
turn here we'll see
down on the field is Cleo north
and there's a time on at the night's
USFL game with the score of Michigan 17
for the W6 this is the ABC radio network
first exam for Philadelphia
from the wrong 41 the eye line
fits to the right side
for a short one yard game to the tight
MC Folsom
Folsom goes out of bounds with the football
at the 42
the Philadelphia stars who know what it is
to come from behind
start their efforts with 14-01
to play in the football game they play 17-6
they have a second and 9 from the 42
you see them in the backfield on
dropping the throw you see them looking down
over the middle of the 5 to play to Harvan
out of the 45 to the 50 almost the first
down as he gets to its size
the territory at the 49 and a half
and it may be awfully close to that first
down yard
Harvan Harvan making the catch
Alan Hughes attack hole
the official mark the ball
knows into Michigan territory
on the 50 eye line
I can tell you why John Carter gets a lot of flits
I mean he flits it every time
in fact it's a situation
he comes every time he's like a fourth defensive line
has a line back
well got good range he's 6-3
well he flits it every time
you see offensive team not know that
well sure they see the film
straight up for the first down
the Philadelphia stars
it was third in short yard
they had the ball down to the 46 yard line
and he's seen it on the quarterback
he forgets his first down
they mark the ball at the 40
feet yard line of Michigan
first and 10 for Philadelphia
clock running down 12-56
all that kickoff return
very full of his hamstring muscle
so he may not be back in action
50 wide to the right side
receivers foot left
back foot behind Cicina
Cicina flits it out to Harvan off his hand
it's the plate at the 50 eye line
the pass was thrown off
five for the little guy Harvan
up around his face map
and he just couldn't hang on to the football
little too hard
second attempt
for the Philadelphia stars in the 40
80 yard line of
the Michigan staffers this offensive series
the result of an interception
by Mike Lush
50 wide to the right side
coming to the near side left is
Rodney Parker
backs again Harvan and Bryant
foot in the back field behind Cicina
second attempt Cicina flits it out to the flow
setting up to 45
complete the 50
handling with a wide right side
on his banged out of bounds
at the 38 yard line far across the field
looking at our fair
Clarence Chapman
the corner back the left corner back
it was picked on so much earlier in the evening
and a first down for the Philadelphia stars
and then moving it down at the beginning
a break by every time they pick up the first down
they get out of bounds they stop in the cross
so the clock still remains 12-30
and they picked up about 40 yards here
and really haven't taken over a minute off that clock
Michigan 22 first down 16 for Philadelphia tonight
the stars trailing the football game as well
17-6 first in 10th in the 37 of Michigan
Cicina dropping the flow players it out left side to Harvan Harvan
tackle from behind by Ray Bentley
the right inside line backer for the Michigan staffers
good pursuit by Ray Bentley that time
slipping out the pass to the left side
they've kept filled off the one and a half scoring teams in the league
they've kept them off the scoreboard with the touchdown
this Michigan defense we haven't talked about too much
because Bobby Abed is putting the football in the air
throwing the football over 250 yards
but this Michigan defense is really outstanding
and
that means that will cost Harvan for a loss of 6 seconds at 16
so it's obvious in the 40s we have
to get a double wide receiver's right if Cicina drops the flow
over the middle
it's a place to pass to Cien Folsom
fly down Folsom was hit by Arnaud
as he tried to grasp our little football maybe pass interference here
Folsom the tight end came from the right side across the middle
as he reached for the ball Arnaud
prompting that we may have to pass interference ball
everything's on the go
for Philadelphia's favorite now
and when that's in the first quarter they just ran up down the field
and put enough points on the board here
come fill it up your back
they're getting another play here
number 21
that's a quick turn
now apparently Oliver Davis before the ball was holding the receiver
up on the play he was holding the receiver on the outside up
as the pass was being thrown to the tight end
it was really wasn't even close to where the pass was thrown
so Tom Donovan was the man being impeded by
the man who was penalized to see the wide right double wide left on the receiver
first and seventh with 38
up against Philadelphia
he was dropping the flow down rolling
he's being pushed through the assembly
tackled from behind by right defensive end Arnaud
Hughes got him around the neck and tucked him down
Hughes 6-3
265 the one-year throw
went to capital Chicago Blitz this year
didn't make that team
but he's certainly performing well
for Jim Stanley's Michigan batters
okay the pass of defense has ended a little bit tonight
but they haven't broke
and that's a key I think
Philadelphia with only two steal goes on the board
Lawson 2 second and 12 for Philadelphia
from the 40 yard line of Michigan
again two wide receivers left one right
won't set back Marvin behind Cicina
Cicina taking it off the long side
overlooking the Michigan defense
with black running down to two to zero
now it's Cicina pulled back
Cicina over the middle of the pass
the pass intended for Willie Collier
hit him in the arm and he dropped it at the 40 yard line
I thought the 30 second box
just wore down zero
about they got it off just at the quick second
seen a lot of drop passes today
I bet we see tonight
10 passes that were easily
acceptable to drop
11-0 on the play in the football game
the championship game here for the United States football league
Michigan 17 Philadelphia 6
Philadelphia with a big third down play here
they have 12 yards to go
the ball resting at the Michigan 40 yard line
double receiver's left side
Cicina among them
white side of the receiver's left back
put it in the backfield
you've seen it at the throw setting up with the 50
you've seen a throw over Cicina
Cicina the first down at the 31 yard line
of Michigan
John Arnaud on a stop four
the Michigan defenders but it's going to be shy at the first down
the question about it
now fourth quarter
10 minutes and 40 seconds the ball's placed
it's a 36
they will go
the ball resting down let's see they put it at the 31 yard line
31
and it's a big fourth
and four for Cicina
and a similar to the other side
what do you do here ball
right in the corner
question about that
it's a great success with a Harman coming out of the backfield
but it's not anything on the back
on the little delay
Cicina is on a wide lap
Cicina's left the throw
the fast ball first down
to Willie Collier at the 25 yard line
Collier hit immediately by Wade Bentley
but it was the first down for the Philadelphia Dives
and Collier gets up slowly
Collier was hit high by Bentley
and there's a climb
out on the field
so we have an opportunity
to tell you the United States Football League
you have enjoyed. It's an initial season of spring football. The inaugural season produced competitive
football and stars through like the virtual Walker Kelvin Bryant Anthony Cutter for
main Johnson and Gary Anderson. Now next season promises to be even more exciting. New cities, new
star players and we'll tell you more about that as we have some play resuming down on the field.
First and second for Philadelphia from the 24-yard out of Michigan 945 to play in the football game
for the 17-6. You see the dropping the floor. The pass intended for Rodney Parker down at the
3-yard line over the floor. The fending back there for the Michigan Panthers all over the day.
They had a little bit of a layover in the middle of the Kelvin Valley.
Michigan's coming out all soft. They're trying to really come up with a big play defensively
and they're going to get burned Fred because they're blitzing everybody almost every time and one
of these times when these backs are going to sneak around where the vacated land backer is
and the safety is going to try to give help to the outside. There's going to be a hole there you
won't believe. Fifty if he picks it up. Fifty and Donovan splitting wide right to the other side left
a lot of these lines on the second attempt of Philadelphia Michigan 24. Back to the behind.
You see the resummoning this rope. You see there's a 31 fire. The pass completes the 50.
50. Fun down at the 22-yard line by Chappan.
Dan has two on the play on that pass.
They're down and seven now for the Philadelphia side. The official mark of all at the 21-yard
line of Michigan. Carrier checks back in. He was carried off by a couple of the trainers and
probably had a cramp. Now he's back in. 14 of 32. And I put you see now 108 yards.
Wide to the right side we have Collier and 50 to the near side left. We have Rodney Plotter on the
third and seven from the Michigan 21 from the start. Back to the behind. You see now he drops
the flow. Quick pass. Into the end. Great assistant. Picked off for Philadelphia. The pass. The catch made by
Willie Collier. Well they call your team but he was carried off by all fours and a beautiful
post-mop. You see now they're picking a Michigan in the full breast almost every time and it's
man to man every time. They're with a beautiful picture with a great catch. Willie Collier has
got the Philadelphia stars back with his striking distance as they usually come back in the fourth
quarter. Now it's a five point deficit. 17 to 12. You gotta go for two. You see that here there as
you say for all the two points. The big one here you can't do that in the United States for story.
They tell about five. If they miss it they can feel score touchdown and win. If they can make it
they pull within a field goal. You see now who's played man's break all year. The slats of the
right side won't set back behind him in the backfield. You see them rolling to the right looking
down to him left for the end zone. Collier makes the reception. Collier who got the touchdown
pass got the two points. Well and we now have a 17 to 14 football game with Michigan leading
Philadelphia with a nine to play. The stars have put 11 points on the board and only six minutes
and 11 points. They only put three points on in the first three quarters. Now they scored 11 points
in six minutes and 10 seconds here in the fourth quarter. Somebody just got on the playing field
with a score of Michigan 17 to the middle of the 14th. This is the ABC radio network.
Well David Greenwood will be getting the football to see it up and Paul Hauling the
Philadelphia side sees never says God. Make sure you don't. It's not the scene you got to hand it to him.
For the second to second a week he has not looked good the first three quarters but he just hangs
in there and he's the winner. He's the winner that the Philadelphia side puts the money on.
That's the simple as that and he just puts 11 points on the board. He went for the two point conversion.
Made it look easy. Willie Collier points all eight points and they're right back knocking on the door.
Drop kicking deep. It's a hallway and two feet. Holloway goes back into the end zone. Puts the ball
midway and then it's bound through the end zone. Puts back first and stands for first. Well Michigan's
middle of 25. They were all tied Philadelphia but nothing was dropped. So the Michigan sponsors who
now have a three point lead at 17 to 14 have eight minutes and 41 seconds to protect that lead or add
to it and if they're fighting of course to become the first champions of the United States football.
The enforcement of tonight's game is being brought to you by Delco electronics like to remind you of that.
The ball. The ball resting at the 20 yard line of Michigan. First and 10 for the Papas. They
are leveling back and Bobby A there. They made a sustained drive. It's very important for them
because it seems as if Philadelphia if they want to get the football back there and go right in
and score. I don't think Philadelphia feels it's still unstoppable right now. There's got a guy
that has number one on his back. He's the big play man in this Michigan team. I think Bobby A
there is going to be looking to Anthony Carter here to break one of on a third down play somewhere
to get the football in a much better field position. Officially we have Bobby A there 19 to 30
to lead with 255 yards. First and 10 for Michigan. From the Papas one of Y-Y-Y. A there with receiver
Carter wide left side. Holloway to the near side. Back to put behind. A there gives off to Miller.
Miller outside left. Kept the block. Turns the corner to 25 to the 30. We're starting on the
ball. At about the 31 line line. Scott Warner running it off with a good block form by Wigdard
Tom Dornbrook. Good run by Miller back down now. Even though they got the first down,
filled up, you should get a little break. He ran out of bounds. That's off the clock. He doesn't
run out of bounds. That's 35, 30 seconds off the clock. 835 had to go. Those little things down
at the end of the ball game all Miller. 835 to play in the football game. The championship game
for the new United States football league. Holloway wide left Carter wide right. Backs again.
Switch. Miller and lays behind. A there on the first and 10 from Michigan. They're all 31. A there
gives it off to Miller. Miller bangs into a blocker. Bangs off. Comes forward to about the 33 yard line.
Stop there by Dave Ulter. The Penn State rookie was overplayed tight end for Gilbert Turner all
up there for the Nittany Lions offensive guard and linebacker territorial second of Philadelphia
Stars. And a valuable one. Good athlete. Play all those positions. Second and seventh now for
Michigan's quarterback Bobby A there. He has Holloway wide right Carter wide left. Backs again.
Switch. Lacey and Miller. And off this time to Ken Lacey. Lacey to the 35 and that is it. And Lacey
has not had the normal good night for that running back. Don Fielder making the tackle.
Lacey usually rambles well with the ball and tonight he's being stopped. Big third down coming out
for Bobby A there. He's going to go upstairs. I think this is tough. He's in a passing situation.
He's about six. So A there will be throwing to either Carter Holloway or his right end on the left
side. Kyle. Let's see if he goes to that deep turn here. It's been open for him so many times.
Third and sixth for Michigan. They're all 35. They're looking for a back A there. They're looking
to defend the line. Water on the line. He hands off left side to Miller. Go up to the 35. Miller
diving forward. Maybe Shia the first time would be a tackle to the 49 line. Did not get it.
He had to get to the 41 and they stopped him at the 40 yard line. We get some signal from
the Tyrone McGrip of Michigan Panther left offensive guard saying it's the first time
but no way. Got a running team coming in. David Greenwood will be running. Going back Scott Warner
before they fill it up. You're tired. Also going back. Conformative call. You know there it is again.
Well these coaches I tell you they get scared. What's the difference? He's going to throw the ball
in third and sixth. The chances are they're not going to make the first down. They're going to be
blessing. They're going to be coming. So what do they do? They run. They have so much success
showing the football but here if we're a captain they run the football they don't get the first down.
So as a result of fourth and one. Michigan from their own 40. Greenwood to point. Bad kick. Almost
blocked. The ball. stomping at the 25 to the 20. Oh. I think over on him to the 10 to the
25. Throwing it a little bit at the 5 yard line and Warner knows he made a mistake. He takes his
helmet off. Flops it to the glove and Warner is angry with himself for allowing the ball to
bomb by him. Absolutely. It's going to be about a 55 yard front. He got it off. It wasn't a good
file. It was up in front there again. They didn't have a short long on the return and I always
think that's a comment. Because of that can happen to you. That can happen to you. A short
time. It hits in front of Scott Warner and it's down to 25 yards down at the 5. Well,
Frisco 9 to play in the football game. Michigan 17 to the 14. There's a break in the action. This
is the ABC Radio Network.
First and second to Philadelphia from their own 5 yard line. You've seen a retreating to
his end on the 12. You've seen a lob to pass out. Complete to his tight end speed. Both
of them out of our far side at about the 12 yard line. Both of them stopping the clock with
602 to go in the football game. Here's a very interesting statistic. The first eight possessions
by Philadelphia advanced the ball 133 yards to the last two 122 yards. Out of the ball game
will a car year. Rodney Parker in and he'll flip wide to the right side. 60 coming near left side.
Both of them ending right on the left side. Five back behind Cucina on the third and 12. Cucina
gives it to his buddy back, Calvin Bryant. And Bryant is still under the 10 yard line and lost
on the play. David Greenwood up from the 3 safety spot. God man is back. The veteran also there
for the Michigan Panthers. They get progress to the 11th. It'll be a third and four for the
Philadelphia star. Here comes the big play man back into the ball game for Philadelphia. The name
of Willis Willie Collier. They're down and four for Philadelphia. From the 11 yard line they're on.
Here's Cucina with a flop to the right side. Now coming in most of the players right behind
the back of the foot behind Cucina. Plopping the flow. Setting up the four. He's going to pass
up the ball. He's headed at the 20 yard line. Willis Collier. He's got Greenwood down. After 20
he was open. Greenwood's slowing getting up. However he is on his feet for the Michigan Panthers
and Sean Landetta who has a rocket in his foot will come in to plump the ball away on a 4-4.
Attendance tonight 46,535 for the first ever USFL title game. Landetta will be pulling the ball
from five yards deep into the end zone. That's deep for the Michigan Panthers. Carter along with
1LC. That's not Landetta. Landetta gets it. He hangs it high. 1LC allows Carter to take the ball
and 1C, he has to go. However at the 37 yard line is tumbled back to the 36. Carter at a time
time picking up the football and good for the Michigan Panthers and the Panthers. Carter was
able to maintain possession. Jeff Brodenberger downfield quickly. The flow along number one.
Anthony Carter with 5-0 for the play in this football game in Michigan with a football
and a 3.0 lead at 17-14. A 53 yard plump back side from Sean Landetta and boy that guy is an
excellent, excellent for how he kicks it high. And of course they all love to kick out here.
Years ago and all this season the NFL and the East called the Colts and guys. Whenever they
got to go to California, you know in December those kickers loved it or they could kick it high.
So the United States Football League hopes you have enjoyed its initial season of swing
football. The inaugural season for Newcomer competitive football and prize-writers,
Crystal Walker, Shelvin Glyde, Anthony Carter, Jomaine Johnson, and Gary Anderson. Next season
football is going to be even more exciting with two cities and new side players. Among the new
players in the USFL next season, Joe Cribb for the Buffalo Bills, Dan Offs from Cincinnati Bingo.
Mike Butler the Green Bay Packers and among the new USFL franchises will be Oklahoma, San Antonio,
Pittsburgh. Houston, Jacksonville and Gastonoff tonight. The fair city of Memphis,
Tennessee. All over the world to the United States Football League next week when the
new league promises to be even more exciting than in its first season. 504.
I just want to say to either of you, I don't want to play in the football game, 17 or 14, the Philadelphia
Stars, we're right in the football game. Make sure you get with the ball first since they're all 37. I don't hope the season isn't any longer Fred. I mean I hope there isn't any more than 18 games in the season.
Really they're not going to play 20 games in the season.
Back split in the backfield behind Bobby A. Bear, that's Miller and Lacey, receiver Carter wide left,
on the way wide, right, long count by A. Bear wanting to meet up. I don't know the clock was not running so he hands off left side to Miller.
Miller up over to 40 to the 42, maybe to the 43 yard line and then he is pushed way back to the 35 yard line by Philadelphia's linebacker Vince Demirina.
Well you know we mentioned that the attendance today was a little bit better than 46,000. That was paid.
With complimentary bosses, et cetera, et cetera, 50,906 here in attendance at mile high stadium.
Oh it's been a pretty good ball game. Second half is live enough and we've got a tight ball game and a big mistake here because it just started rolling for a little while.
They're going to try to start tackling the ball now. They've got to pull out all stops. They'll be blitzing the linebacker then.
Michigan of course, I think they'll try to run for the first half. So it's second and full for Michigan from there on 43, hand off left side Lacey, following the block.
The first down inside the Philadelphia territory at the 48, Humbledown there at the 48 yard line, Demirina and Jonathan Sutton combining for Philadelphia.
But a good block, going by right guard Tom Dornbore. They've killed him around the left side. They've used this one play where they hand off to the back around the left side and they've used it about 15 times on the run tonight.
It's been their number one gainer on the run and he's picked up a big first down there and that clock continues to run. It's under four minutes.
3-42, 3-41 and rolling home, wide to the left side, Carter. The right side right is come away, first and 10.
They're getting from the 48 yard line of Philadelphia. Lacey and Miller put in the backfield behind the cookie quarterback A-bear and off the Lacey-Lacey stop at the line of Simmons.
Hitting him hard, he's really lost and boy, very backflip. Lacey blitz and he came from 15 yards back. Nobody's locked in and he just made a good touch.
He's hurt. Lacey's down and the time not called by the official and Lacey is on his back at the 48 yard line of Philadelphia.
Paul, at this point in the ballgame we were handed a ballot just a few minutes ago or several minutes ago for the MBC of the ballgame.
It's really difficult, really. With so much time left in the ballgame to come up with an MBC, 3-11, it was in the third point.
It's the wrong time to vote. They start passing out these ballots in all these games too early. They really are.
They just wait until the end of the game. Who cares about announcing the winner before? I guess they want to do it before they go off the air and TV or something. I don't know.
But I think it's unfair. They ought to wait until the game is completely over with before any MBC should be picked in a game like this.
Paul, as you look back now on Super Bowl One, did you think when you played in that ballgame against Kansas City or suited up for that ballgame against Kansas City?
That the Super Bowl would evolve into the media circus that it is today. I don't think anybody had that idea.
The practice was the first two Super Bowls. It's just got bigger and bigger and bigger. It's developed into the number one, I guess, sporting event in this country.
It's a great week. I love the Super Bowl. I worked with a few of them and enjoyed working them. I enjoyed gaining them for all the hoopla. I think the week built around this game is going to be a good week.
We've got a good time here and that isn't going to get better and better every year. Of course, they hope to have the hoes next year's USFL championship announced very shortly.
They don't have to worry about the last minute preparations and they'll have an opportunity to have a big build up and a long time to get everything squared away.
Lacey is being helped off by surf trainer. He was down and hit very hard. That's a bad man. Paul, the Michigan batter is to lose. Ken Lacey is over a thousand yards.
He had 46 yards looking tonight on 12th. We'll see if John Williams takes this place in the back seat.
John Williams is trying to call by the Philadelphia side with 3-11 to play in the football game.
And probably a bear, the Michigan after-quarterback, has an opportunity to go over and talk to his coach, his coach, Jim Stanley.
He's a little bit about Jim Stanley. He's born in that state of Kentucky where a lot of pretty good football players come from.
He's a good Kentucky and a tough guy. He's done a great job of fishing. Before the ball game, when you were chatting with Jimmy, he's mentioned that he played high school football with before after you.
I think he's one year after me. I graduated a year before he did. And of course, he went to Texas A&M to play as college football under the great Fairbanks.
He's a head coach at Oklahoma State for six years. He heads the football coach up in Winnipeg and an assistant international football league with the New York Giants and the Atlanta Falcons.
His color-flights of the Philadelphia stars, Jim Mora, was an assistant mostly with an Irwin L. Patriots.
He also was an assistant with a Seattle C-Logs. He was an assistant at UCLA under Dick Vermille, also a Stanford.
And he went to a school that really is not a big football school, to dental college in California.
He's done a great job of fishing. Of course, Dick Cole voted the post of the year in the United States for four weeks.
He's voted for Snowman Bryant and Lee M.V.C. Michigan has his second and 10th from the 48 yards line.
He's voted for the Michigan Leading by 370 to 143-11 to play in the football game.
That's where Williamson Miller's sitting about here. He's there with a rush on. Close the ball, about 50-45.
He's a 25-10, 5-10 Michigan Athletic Carter! How about that?
We were talking a little bit earlier that they might work the goal with the number one Anthony Carter for the big play.
And when they made it their first down, where do they go on the outside? Bobby A. Bear with the right palm.
He got a big Anthony Carter about the 32-yard line. He did a little left and it was all over it.
And he knew his feet were going to cover him into the end zone. 23 to 14!
The Michigan Poppers Valley was three-or-long to play in this championship football game.
There's a Superdome Pusar down in the field at the 33-yard line.
The man has tried to make the tackle on Carter and got pushed deep into the ground.
And when we get to statistics, I think you're going to find that Bobby A. Bear is over 300 yards passing now.
We'll check that for you. Anthony Carter had a sensational day.
In fact, that wouldn't be at all too adverse in the footballing Anthony Carter from out in the cold 10-33.
Well, now they call it 5-0 down in the field as Scott Warner won a game-ease play.
Scott Warner's been a sensational player tonight as he has been all year long for the Philadelphia Stars.
They're former All-American from the University of Georgia.
Captain, that national championship team, he had eight interceptions for Philadelphia on the year.
And he's going to be a good...
And Scott Warner is helped off the field by two trainees for the Philadelphia Stars.
So...
No more going over it.
Will be Andrew trying to tack on the 24th part of the night and give the Michigan Panthers a ten-point cushion of all his back stick, high stick, long...
And let's go down Michigan 24 for the Philadelphia 14.
The stats on Bobby A. Baird, the quarter-bounds for the Michigan Panthers, 20 past equation 34. That's 313.
And I want to tell you that our friend on the back, Fred Manfred, is Dan Lovett.
Dan, the ABC Radio Network's kick in the U.S.F.L. kick was quoted in the paper.
I've got it right here in front of me.
Dick, Michigan great defense for the Panthers and A. Baird's hot hand. That was sick.
What a point. He predicted to be 38 right now. It's 24-14 and the MBC's John Parker.
He might be wrong about the MBC.
Well, let's hope some more points are similar along the line.
Because if they're not, we're going to have a slow hitter ride back to the East Coast.
I'll tell you. Love it. We'll be on cloud nine.
He might be on the next plane to Vegas after that.
Look at Anthony Carter. And I want to add my thing back right now.
Anthony Carter, man catches 177 yards, one touchdown, and on a way caught two.
So A. Baird's got three touchdowns on the night.
And I'll bet he's at probably the MBC. But Anthony Carter, I wish I hadn't on back.
That goes for Carter. That's what we were talking about.
Right, surely. 24-14, Michigan leading Philadelphia, Noble Boyovich.
Dick, you're off.
Allen Harvin standing back, deep at the three-yard line through our line.
We are one to play in title games of the U.S. FML number one.
Boyovich. A waste of signals from the official. He gets it.
The Panthers almost jump on the side as they come with a kick.
Boyovich powers the track deep. Harvin, a yard deep in the end zone.
Up over the five, to the 10, to the 15. Harvin, outside at the 15.
To the 20, Harvin to the 25. He gets the lift to title at the 26.
And the football, up at the 34, but he was out of bounds with the fumble.
It'll certainly Philadelphia football first and net 34 yard line clockstop with 246 to play in the football game.
That's it. That's Allen Harvin.
Rick is a good personality. He's a tough kid.
He don't mind contact with that boy. He just took on the defenders, put that elbow off.
34 yards return by the little guy.
And it's first and 10 for Philadelphia. And quarterback Chuck Bucino with then 50.
Wide to the right side. He has Collier along with Carter to the near side left.
Bryant along, set back behind him from the zone 34 yard line.
Bucino to the throw. Running up at the 24. Pitch is the ball down.
Fielding completed. Pitch is for 50 at the 45.
Jeff, in feeling he should have had an interception there as the ball was thrown.
By 50, the invented receiver, Chapman, just ready to go by him.
242 to play. And there's ball again. Clock stops for the interpletion.
Now it starts again.
Official signals for the thing.
And we will have action here momentarily on the clock.
The 242 to play in the football game.
Pitch to wide right.
Double receivers left side. Collier and Carter.
Again, Bryant alone, set back. Bucino this little on the second down.
Over the middle. The clock is complete.
Donovan with a reception of the 38 yard line and it stops at the 38 there.
The tackle made by David Greenwood.
Clock rolling down. We may have the two minute warning before the next play is off.
However, Philadelphia is pulling the hurry up offense here.
That's right. It's sort of one and down. We're almost to the two minute warning.
Don Gordon, taking his time getting back on defense.
Bucino with a third and six dropping this little flag down.
Incomplete. Bucino leaping in the air and it swithers through his hands at the 48 yard line.
Incomplete. The flag was down on the floor.
Should be a hole coming up against Philadelphia.
It's John Corker. The linebacker of Michigan. It's correct.
Somebody was off fast too. I think there were two people jumping before the ball was snapped.
You were right. Upside. Corker wrong.
Carter was just hoping.
Bucino with a third and six. The offside will march to five.
Three, three, four.
Right.
Just now Bobby was there with the MVP.
That's a pretty good choice.
I guess he would have put it down in the middle.
He's left down fast.
Hey there.
Bucino with a third and six.
Offside. Two, six of them.
First down.
Okay, officially tonight Bobby A. there.
The MVP of the title game.
20 passes from late 39.
313 yards.
Three touchdown passes.
Bucino dropping the ball.
Players about that wayside.
The pass completes the down.
And Donovan trying to get down to the first down yard.
It says he's good.
He is knocked out of bounds at about the 47 yard line of the Michigan passes.
So it'll be a second down now in short yardage.
Second down and one from the 47 of Michigan.
203.
To go in the ball again.
Bucino with a slap to the left side.
Dropping the throw.
Bucino fires the pass out again to Donovan.
Bucino has a second down.
And the ball's out of bounds to stop the clock.
At the 36 yard line of Michigan.
And those short passes are picking up your items and stopping the clock.
As Donovan runs out of bounds.
We're going to have the two minute warning here with 157 officially to play in the football game.
The score is 24 for Michigan.
14 for the ball of the U.S.
And we have the two minute warning.
The guy's getting a breather down on the field.
I just want to say we have an opportunity here.
I enjoyed this season working with.
The Deer and Marbley.
And Greg Morton before he became the big coach here for the Denver at Olden.
I think he's going to put a good season of U.S.S. football on ABC.
Yeah, I'm sure he's here.
I can just ask a little settlement.
I really enjoyed this year with ABC radio.
I hope we can do it again next year.
And I think it's been an exciting year.
The first year of the United States football league.
I'm happy to be a part of ABC Radio C.
Well, in all honesty here I can say the league, the United States football league,
exceeded my expectations in putting on a performance like they have tonight.
And of course the entire year, there have been low spots, but that was expected.
But there have been many highs for this infant league.
They sure have.
And they'll be back next year with six new teams.
The 18 games, they'll play an 18 game season.
I don't know how many playoff games we're going to have.
I think more than two because with the new edition of those teams.
I wonder if they're going to have three season games.
I'm sure you think they'd have to.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see.
We'll wait and see.
But there's going to be a lot better next year.
A little fans above us on this simple vet horseshoe side stadium,
stomping their feet and getting into the music that's being played.
Because the music will stop because the Philadelphia Stars will have the first
season, the 36th of April.
The season of the wide wide receivers, two of them, to the left side.
The last of the right side is Jonathan.
You see them with the last of them step back behind him.
Just a little setting up at the 45.
You see them with pressure rolling out of the pressure.
Now open to 35, up to 130.
And he is tackled from behind at about the 30 yard line.
John Corker making the stops on just you see them.
Corker's taking a big stop out a little bit.
stomping the clock with 146 to play.
The stars down by 10, 24 to 14.
Stars have it second and five from the Michigan 31 yard line.
Delvin Bryant appears to be in pain sometimes.
I don't know whether he heard his rift, but he is walking back at the 45 yard line.
He's a little bit scared.
So, he was trying to be a bit on the other end of the road.
That's exactly how you feel, too.
You just want to shake it off a little bit.
It's not serious.
He's been on the clock for 155 yards tonight, completing 18 of 37 passes.
And I see it from the Bayou country, however, Bobby A. Baird,
the quarterback for the Michigan Panthers,
voted the MVP of the night championship game.
He's getting good on him, a great feature.
You know, being here most of this week,
it's very interesting to see the news media treating the arrival of John Elway with the Denver Broncos.
Every time John Elway scratched his nose,
we can see there was a feature-length article on him in the newspapers.
I might want to watch that game with all of them.
I might get a second in five for about this and the 31 of Michigan.
The start is trailed by 10.
You see the flow dropping.
Going down three of the passes incomplete.
The intended receiver down there was Rodney Parker.
He looked right the pass went left and incomplete.
Somebody ran a long pattern.
He's seen his hot-out.
141 to play as the incompletion stops the clock.
Ball left-wing is a 31-yard line.
35 now for Philadelphia and Chuck Cusina.
The guys with the best record in the USFL going the regular season.
The Michigan Panthers after a one-and-four stumble came on to win 13 football games and lose just six.
Cusina with a clock on the right side, clock left.
Four wide receivers.
They can get a long break here and get into the end zone for seven.
Cusina over the middle of the completion of the bottom and at the 30-yard line,
will they get clock left, get it up for a first-onix request in here,
and if they get it up to the 27-yard line,
so that they have to go to the 26 of Michigan for the first-onix.
They get lucky and go down deep into the end zone, get seven.
That's the only shot they can come back for in that one-side kick.
The third-goal for over the short zone.
Fourth and two. Cusina over the middle of the pass, complete with a first-on for Bryant.
Calvin Bryant with a first-on, one-on at the 22-yard line, clock stops at the minute 10.
John Corker, the linebacker making a tackle for Michigan,
but Bryant has the first-on for the Philadelphia Stars with one minute and 10 seconds to go.
In regulation time here in the USFL title game, Michigan leading 24-14.
First intense for Phillies from the 22 of the Panthers.
Again, four wide receivers, two right, two left. Cusina the flow, setting up for the 30.
Retreating now, rolling right side. Over the middle of the pass, complete with Bryant,
Bryant, down at the 21-yard line. He caught it, and he hit immediately.
Little gain on that one, clock under a minute, 46 seconds to go.
In the football game, the championship game, and there will be a timeout call
by the Philadelphia Stars with 44 seconds to go in the ball game.
And while we have this time, we'd like to tell you,
we want to take 10 seconds for station identification.
This is the ABC Radio Network.
Cusina John Corker, the oldest offensive player on the USFL by the media after a bit of a hit,
and he is walking around with a grimace on his face,
but you know it'll be a smile in about 44 seconds.
His staffer team can hang on to his 10-bar leaders and hang on to victory
because they would be the first ever champions of the United States football league.
All we mentioned a little bit earlier is the Armed Forces Radio Network carrying this football game
with the six conversations with the ball game.
A lot of the world and we welcome the listenership of the men and women in uniform
across this big wide wonderful world of ours on Armed Forces Radio.
And Paul McCrothy, you saw that down in the restroom at the hotel.
It's a beautiful show for you to feel good the winning team here.
And who it is?
Helmut with the USFL logo emblazoned on the side.
And I understand the range of the players who get.
Looks like huge rocks that they have for the ball play.
So it'll be pretty nice surprises.
Back at Cusina, dropping the ball.
Cusina has some patience to relate to you
at the 10-yard line.
He should have a first down after 10 on Michigan.
Over gray on the defense.
37 seconds remaining.
The clock stops the change.
Hold here on the USFL.
Cusina, it's just 35 seconds now.
Four wide receivers in.
Cusina dropping it through over the middle of the pass.
Cusina, Donovan is twisted on how they will win the free.
Donovan made the reception at the five.
He may have been juggling the football.
And it went flopping forward to the two,
but the official will be fast and complete.
Cusina never gives up.
I'll tell you that.
There's still fighting for every second second yet.
David Rowan is a football game.
Trying to get his hands on Fred and go for the onside skit.
Harlin, 8-hour.
29 seconds only to go in the football game for Harlin.
24 to 14 Michigan leading Philadelphia
with a second and 10 from
just through Philadelphia's side of the Michigan 10.
Hold it back to Cusina.
He had some running room, but he fires off through it completely.
Donovan, Donovan is a five.
Donovan down for the goal.
And he is full-bought.
Donovan, two-yard line.
Bepping him along the shoulder pass,
pulling him down all over the data.
And that may have saved a little excitement.
Is that a flag down there?
That's what you end up.
Five seconds to go in the football game.
Cusina dropping the floor on the third and third.
Cusina, running wide.
No time in the clock.
Fred from Case to No Time on the clock.
Fred's running all over the field.
They get the cut-down.
With No Time on the clock,
the full-up of stars for the cut-down,
at least the official signal cut-down,
M.A. Andron, on the pass completion from Cusina.
Fred putting on the field here at Maahe High Stadium.
We had to see Maahe's week at the River Donovan.
25 seconds remaining in the ballgame.
And the Fred's going to get off the field.
And they're going to have the point after the drive.
Run the field.
We'll try the point.
One-nice cut-down.
Run the field.
When Maahe's feeling like this,
something you really don't need in court.
He's really done it.
Anyone who's not fighting or anything like that
going on around here.
This is fun so far.
And I guess you're going to have to just flee C Stadium
a little bit earlier.
Because they just come through the bad game.
Come over to the pass and jump the field.
We've seen a fan see the field.
Several have moved off.
About a thousand or so,
four mill along,
down between the 30 of Michigan
and the goal line of Philadelphia to our right.
And the officials are wanting to get the point after the drive.
So to pull it off your star,
so we can get this football game completed.
And of course, likely, the game ended with 25 seconds to go
because the overgones for was mobbed by people.
They tore the goal post down, they carried them out.
And now I think they will get the fans off the field.
Some security follow out there that moved the fans
off of the mile high stadiums here.
Still on the scoreboard,
we do not have that six points knocked on,
but the official big signal,
that's down and we're going to have the point after drive.
Well, maybe the Philadelphia stars
do the damn love it had to score predicted earlier
and they didn't want him to come up,
walk into us and drown when he hit,
say 38, now we got 44, right?
Love it with the, as we look for 100,
as we look behind over our shoulder
with a grimace on his face.
So we will get the point after try here.
Oh, they'll go for two.
Or go for two, but there's no time on the clock.
There will be time on the clock,
because they're rolling in that.
It's time right now, the ball game,
they got the opportunity to go for two.
Well, a mob student they were,
and no violence is all pointed out earlier.
But the fans flooding onto the field,
through but surely again.
They're the official,
signal for play will be in as you said,
well, I think they're going to go for the two.
So we have a 24 to 20 football game at the moment.
And just you see them,
who has completed his two-fighter tonight,
the Willie Collier on the ground,
where the directing is changed.
Several of the Michigan Badminton's
had already made their way through the locker room,
and now they're being summoned out of the locker room.
I don't blame them for saying this.
Still on the scoreboard,
they have not watched on the club shots,
so don't get it.
You see them,
flopping the throw over the two points,
rolling, bump, throw it, the two-fight,
made on a fast completion,
to Scott Smith's United Football Game.
So, the United States Football is champion.
The Michigan Parkers win the football game 24 to 22.
How many points?
42.
So the final score on this United States football league title game
that ends in a bit of confusion,
that limit is hand streaming on the field.
The final score, Michigan's 24,
fuller of the 22.
That's the end of what I say in the final score once again.
Michigan's 24, fuller of the 22.
That's the end of what I say in the final score once again.
