USFL Championship

The USFL SummerBowl Jacksonville, Florida




The SummerBowl of 1986 pits the Arizona Outlaws against the Baltimore Stars. We traveled to Jacksonville earlier this week, and after all the media obligations were met, we settled down to game planning.


Here's some shots of warm-ups before the game.... everyone was really excited and nervous.
 


The coin flip, which baltimore won, and elected to kick off.

1st quarter action....

Brian made the Stars pay for kicking to us first.

Kit Lathrop, USFL Defensive MVP, lines up for the pass rush.

Fusina hits on a pass over the middle. He would finish 17-32 for 142 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.

Here Kelvin Bryant gets stopped in the backfield. Bryant finished with 70 yards rushing.

Brian pulls in a pass between defenders. He had 4 catches for 45 yards and a score.

The defensive backs get a little pep talk while the offense is on the field.

All-USFL Tim Taylor was good on his 2 field goal attempts.

A pick in the endzone to thwart a Star drive.

Tim celebrates his 2nd field goal of the day.

Philly brings the score closer late in the 3rd quarter.

But it was too little, too late. We prevailed 28-14 in the 1986 USFL SummerBowl.

Let the Celebration begin....

Well, that's it for this season.... thanks for following along:)
