Tenth-ranked Penn State began its 1977 season with a home date against No. 9 Houston. The Nittany Lions were lead by eventual All-American quarterback Chuck Fusina, and would finish the year 11-1. Penn State won this game 31-14, holding off strong efforts by the dynamic Cougars offense.
Six decades since inception, Men of The Grand Experiment participated in the filming of "The Joe We Know". Men, known and unknown, came together to share how Coach Paterno, his coaching staff, the Program, and college life at Penn State affected their lives. These experiences have produced a group of men who work to live all that is good in "Black Shoes, Basics Blues, No Names on the Jerseys."

Attendance: 15,686,

The Philadelphia Stars had come from behind before, but never quite so dramatically. And the victory never felt quite so good. Quarterback Chuck Fusina, who overcame four first-half turnovers with three touchdown passes in the last nine minutes as the Stars tied the Chicago Blitz 38-38, then went on to win 44-38 in overtime to advance to the championship of the United States Football League.
"It will go down as one of the best games in history." said Chicago Coach George Allen, who saw a 21-point lead evaporate in the fourth quarter.
Kelvin Bryant rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner on a one-yard run seven minutes, two seconds into the overtime.
The Stars take a 16-3 record into the first USFL championship game in Denver next Sunday.
The Blitz took a 21-7 halftime lead after intercepting Fusina three times and recovering his fumble in the second quarter. They led 38-17 with 12:04 left in the game.
The Stars started their comeback with Fusina's 17-yard scoring pass to Scott Fitzkee five minutes into the fourth quarter. Fusina passed two yards to Jeff Rodenberger for another touchdown with five minutes left in the game, and connected with Tom Donovan from 11 yards with 50 seconds left to tie it up.
He finished with 22 of 33 passes for 254 yards, scrambled for 66 more yards and also caught a 12-yard pass from Allen Harvin for another touchdown.
A crowd of 15,684 - less than a fourth of the capacity of the 66,000-seat Veterans Stadium watched the game in sunny, 84-degree weather.

Quarterback Chuck Fusina fired two touchdown passes and Philadelphia came up with two key pass interceptions as the Stars toppled the San Antonio Gunslingers 20-14.
Meanwhile, Frank Case, a graduate of Central Bucks West and a product of Penn State who played for the Stars last season, played largely on passing downs and contributed to the Gunslingers' overall strong defensive effort.
Cornerback Bill Hardee sealed San Antonio's fate when he intercepted quarterback Rick Neuheisel's pass in the end zone with 12 seconds left in the game. With five minutes to play, free safety Mike Lush dashed another Gunslinger opportunity when he intercepted a halfback pass by Don Roberts at the Philadelphia eight.
Fusina finished the game with a career high of 296 yards by completing 22 of 31 passes.
San Antonio made futile comeback effort after Mark McCants' 51-yard return of the second-half kickoff set up a 39-yard field goal by David Trout that made the score 17-0. San Antonio, limited to 98 total yards In the first two quarters, bounced back with an 80-yard drive in 18 plays for its first touchdown.
Neuheisel snaked two yards on a fourth-and-one play and Putt Choate ran 19 yards to the Philadelphia 32 on fourth-and-eight to highlight the drive. The payoff came on a two-yard touchdown pass from Neuheisel to Jerry Gordon. Nick Mike-Mayer's extra point made it 17-7.
After the Stars next possession, the Gunslingers battled back with an eight-play, 67-yard touchdown drive, capped by Scott Stamper's one-yard run.
Stamper's 40-yard run, the longest of the season for San Antonio, highlighted the march Mike-Mayer's point after made it 17-14 with 4:07 gone in the quarter.
After a scoreless first quarter, Philadelphia scored on its fourth possession of the game with Fusina hitting Scott Fitzkee with a 15-yard touchdown pass. Trout kicked the point to make It 7-0. Fusina hit Tom Donovan with a touchdown pass with six seconds left in the half to make it 14-0.

Quarterback Chuck Fusina passed for 310 yards and the Baltimore Stars converted two second half Jim Kelly turnovers into touchdowns to hand the previously undefeated Houston Gamblers a 27-14 loss.
Kelly, the USFL's leading passer, threw for two third-quarter interceptions and lost a fumble and an interception in the fourth period as the Baltimore defense applied pressure to Houston's pass-oriented run and shoot offense.
Mike Lush intercepted two Kelly passes, returning one 56 yards for a touchdown that gave Baltimore the lead, 17-14, with4:07 left in the third quarter.
Early in the fourth period the Gamblers drove to the Stars' 10, before Kelly was hit while attempting to pass and fumbled the ball away to Baltimore's William Fuller at the Baltimore 21. The Stars then drove to the Houston 36 in six plays, where Fusina lofted a 36-yard touchdown pass to Willie Collier, giving Baltimore a 24-14 lead with 10:35 left to play.
David Trout added a 38-yard field goal for the Stars at 2:26in the fourth quarter before a crowd of 24,166 at the Astrodome.
Fusina completed 18 of 31 and was three yards short of the Baltimore team record for total passing yardage. Kelly completed 33 of 51 for 393 yards.
Houston is 5-1, while the defending USFL champion Stars are 2-3-1.
The Gamblers drove 80 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead on their first possession of the game. After missing his first two passes, Kelly completed six straight including a five-yard touchdown toss to Sam Harrell at 8:57in the first period.
Fusina then passed 39 yards to Ken Dunek on the first play of Baltimore's next possession. The Stars drove to the Houston 10 where Trout kicked a 27-yard field goal at 4:42 in the first quarter.

Attendance: 24,341,
TV: ESPN
Scott Fitzkee caught three touchdown passes from Chuck Fusina to give the Philadelphia Stars a 25-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers before 23,341 fans.
Fitzkee finished with eight catches for 177yards. He just missed scoring a fourth touchdown, beating corner back Bill Yancy early in the second quarter for a 45-yard gain to the 5.
Philadephia (4-1) was forced to settle for three points with Dave Trout hitting the second of his two field goals, a 21-yarder to give the Stars a 6-0 lead.
Against the top-ranked defense in the USFL, the Maulers (1-4) gained just 233 yards and converted four of 11 third-down plays.
Philadelphia's Kelvin Bryant rushed for 79 yards on 16 carries before leaving the game in the third quarter with a hamstring pull. Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier had 54 yards on 16 carries for Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh's only touchdown, a 5 yard pass from Glenn Carano to newly-acquired wide reciever Jackie Flowers, came after an apparent fourth down sack of Carano by Don Fiedler was nullified by a defensive holding penalty.
Trout's second field goal made it 6-0 before the Maulers scored on Tony Lee's 37-yarder to make it 6-3 at halftime.
The Stars took over in the third quarter, with Fitzkee catching touchdown passes of 16 and 23 yards. Both Trout kicks failed, leaving Philadelphia with an 18-3 lead.
Fusina, a teammate of Fitzkee's at Penn State,completed 16 of 21 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars:
Years of existence: 1983-1985
Owner: Myles Tanenbaum
Stadium: Veterans Stadium (72,204) 1983-84, Byrd Stadium (45,000) 1985
Overall Regular Season Record: 41-12-1 (.769)
Overall Playoff Record: 7-1
Yearly Standings and Average Attendances
1983: 15-3 (18,650) Philadelphia
1984: 16-2 (28,668) Philadelphia
1985: 10-7-1 (14, 275) Baltimore
The fans in Philadelphia were very wary of the Stars in their inaugural season. The Stars averaged under 20,000 fans per game in their inaugural year, but after making it to the championship game, attendance increased by more than 10,000 per contest the following season. The Stars were even more successful on the field, going 16-2 and dispatching the Arizona Wranglers in the championship, 23-3. Several thousand Philadelphia fans gathered for a parade in the team's honor once they got back to the City of Brotherly Love.
The announced move to the fall, however, immediately destroyed what it had taken two years to build, and Tanenbaum was forced to relocate his team to Baltimore. With Memorial Stadium unavailable until 1986, he had to settle for Byrd Stadium on the campus of the University of Maryland. The team spent the 1985 season practicing in Philadelphia, and playing in (or near) Baltimore. Some of the smallest crowds in the team's three-year history saw the team rebound from a slow start to beat the rebuilt Oakland Invaders, 28-24, in the USFL's last game. The Stars dreams of playing in Memorial Stadium were dashed after the league called off the 1986 season.
Pittsburgh Maulers:
Years of existence: 1984
Owner: Edward J. DeBartolo
Stadium: Three Rivers Stadium (60,043)
Overall Regular Season Record: 3-15
Overall Playoff Record: 0-0
Yearly Standings and Average Home Attendances
1984: 3-15 (22,858)
The Maulers and coach Joe Pendry struggled through their only year in the league with a 3-15 record. Actually, Pendry didn't even make it through the whole year as Ellis Rainsberger took over the helm midway through the season. Not even the presence of Heisman Trophy winning running back Mike Rozier could right the Maulers' ship. Pittsburgh only managed victories over the Oakland Invaders and the Washington Federals (twice).
Many of their problems could be blamed on a defense that gave up a league-leading 492 points. Corner back Jerry Holmes and defensive end Sam Clancy (16 sacks) were two bright spots in a sea of mediocrity. On the offensive end, former Cowboy backup Glen Carano struggled at QB, throwing 19 interceptions to just 13 touchdowns. Wide receiver Greg Anderson caught 63 passes for 994 yards and six TD's.
Despite their pathetic performance, the Maulers managed a respectable showing at the gate and even sold out their first home game against the Birmingham Stallions. Many of the fans came to boo and throw things at Stallions and former Steeler QB Cliff Stoudt, but a sell out is a sell out. Edward Debartolo, father of the owner of the 49ers, was forced to pull the plug, though, when the league announced its move to the fall.

Chuck Fusina ran for a touchdown, David Trout kicked a pair of field goals - one from 50 yards - and the Stars held off a Gold rally in the fourth quarter before 45,102 at Denver.
Denver's last chance to win the game failed with 22 seconds left when substitute Gold quarterback Ken Johnson's pass to fullback Larry Canada in the end zone fell incomplete on fourth down from the Philadelphia two.
The Denver Gold debut in a 13-7 loss to the Philadelphia Stars, but the real story is the attendance - 45,102 cross the turnstiles at Mile High Stadium, with less than 1% requesting refunds under the team's innovative refund policy.

The Stars dreams of playing in Memorial Stadium were dashed after the league called off the 1986 season. Pittsburgh Maulers: Years of existence: 1984 Owner: Edward J. DeBartolo Stadium: Three Rivers Stadium (60,043) Overall Regular Season Record: 3-15 Overall Playoff Record: 0-0 Yearly Standings and Average Home Attendances 1984: 3-15 (22,858) The Maulers and coach Joe Pendry struggled through their only year in the league with a 3-15 record. Actually, Pendry didn't even make it through the whole year as Ellis Rainsberger took over the helm midway through the season. Not even the presence of Heisman Trophy winning running back Mike Rozier could right the Maulers' ship. Pittsburgh only managed victories over the Oakland Invaders and the Washington Federals (twice). Many of their problems could be blamed on a defense that gave up a league-leading 492 points. Corner back Jerry Holmes and defensive end Sam Clancy (16 sacks) were two bright spots in a sea of mediocrity. On the offensive end, former Cowboy backup Glen Carano struggled at QB, throwing 19 interceptions to just 13 touchdowns. Wide receiver Greg Anderson caught 63 passes for 994 yards and six TD's. Despite their pathetic performance, the Maulers managed a respectable showing at the gate and even sold out their first home game against the Birmingham Stallions. Many of the fans came to boo and throw things at Stallions and former Steeler QB Cliff Stoudt, but a sell out is a sell out. Edward Debartolo, father of the owner of the 49ers, was forced to pull the plug, though, when the league announced its move to the fall. Source: http://www.oursportscentral.com/usfl/index.php -

The Philadelphia Stars had come from behind before, but never quite so dramatically. And the victory never felt quite so good. Quarterback Chuck Fusina, who overcame four first-half turnovers with three touchdown passes in the last nine minutes as the Stars tied the Chicago Blitz 38-38, then went on to win 44-38 in overtime to advance to the championship of the United States Football League.
"It will go down as one of the best games in history." said Chicago Coach George Allen, who saw a 21-point lead evaporate in the fourth quarter.
Kelvin Bryant rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner on a one-yard run seven minutes, two seconds into the overtime.
The Stars take a 16-3 record into the first USFL championship game in Denver next Sunday.
The Blitz took a 21-7 halftime lead after intercepting Fusina three times and recovering his fumble in the second quarter. They led 38-17 with 12:04 left in the game.
The Stars started their comeback with Fusina's 17-yard scoring pass to Scott Fitzkee five minutes into the fourth quarter. Fusina passed two yards to Jeff Rodenberger for another touchdown with five minutes left in the game, and connected with Tom Donovan from 11 yards with 50 seconds left to tie it up.
He finished with 22 of 33 passes for 254 yards, scrambled for 66 more yards and also caught a 12-yard pass from Allen Harvin for another touchdown.
A crowd of 15,684 - less than a fourth of the capacity of the 66,000-seat Veterans Stadium watched the game in sunny, 84-degree weather.

The Blitz took a 21-7 halftime lead after intercepting Fusina three times and recovering his fumble in the second quarter. They led 38-17 with 12:04 left in the game.
The Stars started their comeback with Fusina's 17-yard scoring pass to Scott Fitzkee five minutes into the fourth quarter. Fusina passed two yards to Jeff Rodenberger for another touchdown with five minutes left in the game, and connected with Tom Donovan from 11 yards with 50 seconds left to tie it up.
He finished with 22 of 33 passes for 254 yards, scrambled for 66 more yards and also caught a 12-yard pass from Allen Harvin for another touchdown.
A crowd of 15,684 - less than a fourth of the capacity of the 66,000-seat Veterans Stadium watched the game in sunny, 84-degree weather.

Attendance: 16,590,
TV: ABC
Quarterback Chuck Fusina fired two touchdown passes and Philadelphia came up with two key pass interceptions as the Stars toppled the San Antonio Gunslingers 20-14.
Meanwhile, Frank Case, a graduate of Central Bucks West and a product of Penn State who played for the Stars last season, played largely on passing downs and contributed to the Gunslingers' overall strong defensive effort.
Cornerback Bill Hardee sealed San Antonio's fate when he intercepted quarterback Rick Neuheisel's pass in the end zone with 12 seconds left in the game. With five minutes to play, free safety Mike Lush dashed another Gunslinger opportunity when he intercepted a halfback pass by Don Roberts at the Philadelphia eight.
Fusina finished the game with a career high of 296 yards by completing 22 of 31 passes.
San Antonio made futile comeback effort after Mark McCants' 51-yard return of the second-half kickoff set up a 39-yard field goal by David Trout that made the score 17-0. San Antonio, limited to 98 total yards In the first two quarters, bounced back with an 80-yard drive in 18 plays for its first touchdown.
Neuheisel snaked two yards on a fourth-and-one play and Putt Choate ran 19 yards to the Philadelphia 32 on fourth-and-eight to highlight the drive. The payoff came on a two-yard touchdown pass from Neuheisel to Jerry Gordon. Nick Mike-Mayer's extra point made it 17-7.
After the Stars next possession, the Gunslingers battled back with an eight-play, 67-yard touchdown drive, capped by Scott Stamper's one-yard run.
Stamper's 40-yard run, the longest of the season for San Antonio, highlighted the march Mike-Mayer's point after made it 17-14 with 4:07 gone in the quarter.
After a scoreless first quarter, Philadelphia scored on its fourth possession of the game with Fusina hitting Scott Fitzkee with a 15-yard touchdown pass. Trout kicked the point to make It 7-0. Fusina hit Tom Donovan with a touchdown pass with six seconds left in the half to make it 14-0.

Quarterback Chuck Fusina passed for 310 yards and the Baltimore Stars converted two second half Jim Kelly turnovers into touchdowns to hand the previously undefeated Houston Gamblers a 27-14 loss.
Kelly, the USFL's leading passer, threw for two third-quarter interceptions and lost a fumble and an interception in the fourth period as the Baltimore defense applied pressure to Houston's pass-oriented run and shoot offense.
Mike Lush intercepted two Kelly passes, returning one 56 yards for a touchdown that gave Baltimore the lead, 17-14, with4:07 left in the third quarter.
Early in the fourth period the Gamblers drove to the Stars' 10, before Kelly was hit while attempting to pass and fumbled the ball away to Baltimore's William Fuller at the Baltimore 21. The Stars then drove to the Houston 36 in six plays, where Fusina lofted a 36-yard touchdown pass to Willie Collier, giving Baltimore a 24-14 lead with 10:35 left to play.
David Trout added a 38-yard field goal for the Stars at 2:26in the fourth quarter before a crowd of 24,166 at the Astrodome.
Fusina completed 18 of 31 and was three yards short of the Baltimore team record for total passing yardage. Kelly completed 33 of 51 for 393 yards.
Houston is 5-1, while the defending USFL champion Stars are 2-3-1.
The Gamblers drove 80 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead on their first possession of the game. After missing his first two passes, Kelly completed six straight including a five-yard touchdown toss to Sam Harrell at 8:57in the first period.
Fusina then passed 39 yards to Ken Dunek on the first play of Baltimore's next possession. The Stars drove to the Houston 10 where Trout kicked a 27-yard field goal at 4:42 in the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter Fusina passed 37 yards to Scott Fitzkee to set up the Stars' first touchdown. Seven plays later, Allen Harvin ran three yards for the touchdown and Trout converted. Baltimore led at halftime 10-7.

Attendance: 24,341,
TV: ESPN
Scott Fitzkee caught three touchdown passes from Chuck Fusina to give the Philadelphia Stars a 25-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers before 23,341 fans.
Fitzkee finished with eight catches for 177yards. He just missed scoring a fourth touchdown, beating corner back Bill Yancy early in the second quarter for a 45-yard gain to the 5.
Philadephia (4-1) was forced to settle for three points with Dave Trout hitting the second of his two field goals, a 21-yarder to give the Stars a 6-0 lead.
Against the top-ranked defense in the USFL, the Maulers (1-4) gained just 233 yards and converted four of 11 third-down plays.
Philadelphia's Kelvin Bryant rushed for 79 yards on 16 carries before leaving the game in the third quarter with a hamstring pull. Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier had 54 yards on 16 carries for Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh's only touchdown, a 5 yard pass from Glenn Carano to newly-acquired wide reciever Jackie Flowers, came after an apparent fourth down sack of Carano by Don Fiedler was nullified by a defensive holding penalty.
Trout's second field goal made it 6-0 before the Maulers scored on Tony Lee's 37-yarder to make it 6-3 at halftime.
The Stars took over in the third quarter, with Fitzkee catching touchdown passes of 16 and 23 yards. Both Trout kicks failed, leaving Philadelphia with an 18-3 lead.
Fusina, a teammate of Fitzkee's at Penn State,completed 16 of 21 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars:
Years of existence: 1983-1985
Owner: Myles Tanenbaum
Stadium: Veterans Stadium (72,204) 1983-84, Byrd Stadium (45,000) 1985
Overall Regular Season Record: 41-12-1 (.769)
Overall Playoff Record: 7-1
Yearly Standings and Average Attendances
1983: 15-3 (18,650) Philadelphia
1984: 16-2 (28,668) Philadelphia
1985: 10-7-1 (14, 275) Baltimore
The fans in Philadelphia were very wary of the Stars in their inaugural season. The Stars averaged under 20,000 fans per game in their inaugural year, but after making it to the championship game, attendance increased by more than 10,000 per contest the following season. The Stars were even more successful on the field, going 16-2 and dispatching the Arizona Wranglers in the championship, 23-3. Several thousand Philadelphia fans gathered for a parade in the team's honor once they got back to the City of Brotherly Love.
The announced move to the fall, however, immediately destroyed what it had taken two years to build, and Tanenbaum was forced to relocate his team to Baltimore. With Memorial Stadium unavailable until 1986, he had to settle for Byrd Stadium on the campus of the University of Maryland. The team spent the 1985 season practicing in Philadelphia, and playing in (or near) Baltimore. Some of the smallest crowds in the team's three-year history saw the team rebound from a slow start to beat the rebuilt Oakland Invaders, 28-24, in the USFL's last game. The Stars dreams of playing in Memorial Stadium were dashed after the league called off the 1986 season.
Pittsburgh Maulers:
Years of existence: 1984
Owner: Edward J. DeBartolo
Stadium: Three Rivers Stadium (60,043)
Overall Regular Season Record: 3-15
Overall Playoff Record: 0-0
Yearly Standings and Average Home Attendances
1984: 3-15 (22,858)
The Maulers and coach Joe Pendry struggled through their only year in the league with a 3-15 record. Actually, Pendry didn't even make it through the whole year as Ellis Rainsberger took over the helm midway through the season. Not even the presence of Heisman Trophy winning running back Mike Rozier could right the Maulers' ship. Pittsburgh only managed victories over the Oakland Invaders and the Washington Federals (twice).
Many of their problems could be blamed on a defense that gave up a league-leading 492 points. Corner back Jerry Holmes and defensive end Sam Clancy (16 sacks) were two bright spots in a sea of mediocrity. On the offensive end, former Cowboy backup Glen Carano struggled at QB, throwing 19 interceptions to just 13 touchdowns. Wide receiver Greg Anderson caught 63 passes for 994 yards and six TD's.
Despite their pathetic performance, the Maulers managed a respectable showing at the gate and even sold out their first home game against the Birmingham Stallions. Many of the fans came to boo and throw things at Stallions and former Steeler QB Cliff Stoudt, but a sell out is a sell out. Edward Debartolo, father of the owner of the 49ers, was forced to pull the plug, though, when the league announced its move to the fall.

Anthony Carter and Derek Holloway are big enough to be enough for Bobby Hebert and definitely big enough for the Michigan Panthers, who got big plays and big days from their little guys to win the first United States Football League championship with a 24-22 victory over the Philadelphia Stars.
Hebert found them 12 times. Hebert, named the game's Most Valuable Player, completed touchdown passes of 12-and 14-yards to the 5-foot7- Holloway and topped his 314-yard passing night off with a 48-yard game-sealing strike to the 5-9 Carter to give the Detroit area its first pro football championship since the Detroit Lions copped the NFL title in 1957.
A preponderance of the 46,535 who came out to 75,000-seat Mile High Stadium were rooting for Michigan. Banners for the Panthers dominated the scene and the Stars were hooted during the intros. That was fine during the game, but with six seconds to play — moments before Philadelphia's Chuck Fusina hit Rodney Parker with a two-yard touchdown that made the final score close — thousands of boisterous Michigan fans surged onto the field.
Some 50 police officers were forced to use chemicals, clubs and dogs to control the crowd, which bent one goal post. A dozen persons were arrested, with police estimating half from Michigan.
Philadelphia came into the game with a mandate to stop Michigan's big play attack. Carter caught a career-best nine passes for 179 yards while Holloway grabbed three for 39. Hebert threw 39 times, completing 20. Tackle Irv Batman said. "He may be the toughest guy in football to defense."
Carter delivered the touchdown that gave Michigan a 24-14 lead with 3:01 to play.
Rookie Novo Bojovic kicked a 33-yard field goal and David Trout countered with a 30-yard field goal for Phiiadelphia to leave it 3-3 until Hebert hit Holloway with his first scoring pass.
Carter set up Holloway's first score with receptions of 27, 12 and 13 yards. He caught a pair of 13-yard passes leading to Holloway's second touchdown, which gave the Panthers a 17-3 lead with 7:49 to play in the third quarter.
Fusina, who had only seven completions in his first 22 passes yet wound up 25-for-47 for 192 yards, got hot in the fourth quarter and almost brought his team back. He threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Collier with 8:49 left and a successful two-point conversion pass pulled the Stars within a field goal, 17-14, only to have Hebert counter with his game-clinching throw to Carter.

USFL Championship - Sunday, July 14, 1985
Attendance: 49,263
TV: ABC
With all the doom and despair surrounding the season, the 1985 Championship Game was an exciting contest that was up for grabs until the very end. A good crowd of 49,263 attended the final USFL contest that started with rain pounding the Meadowlands artificial surface. The rain was a blessing for Baltimore and its ball control offense featuring the running of Kelvin Bryant, while the weather hampered the big play Hebert to Carter passing attack. Hebert and Stars quarterback Chuck Fusina said that the new footballs used for the big game got slick and were difficult to throw. That could be part of the reason why Invader strong safety David Greenwood scored on a 44 yard interception return in the first half. The Stars contained Anthony Carter in the opening half, allowing Carter only a four yard grab.
Carter, though, began to provide spark to Oakland's offense in the second half. He put the Invaders in front 24-21 with a seven yard touchdown catch from Hebert just before the start of the 4th quarter. Baltimore regained the lead with a 49 yard drive capped by a 7 yard touchdown run by Kelvin Bryant with 8 minutes and 15 seconds left to go. Oakland started its final drive, down by four points, from its own five yard line. Oakland made its way to the Baltimore five yard line. Facing third down and two, Oakland Running Back Tom Newton was penalized 15 yards for a personal foul against Stars' cornerback Jonathan Sutton. Oakland Coach Charlie Sumner was upset that such a great game would come down to a scuffle. The penalty forced Oakland back to the Baltimore 20 with only enough time for Hebert to attempt two passes into the end zone, both of which fell incomplete to Gordon Banks. The Stars had the ball and their second consecutive USFL Championship.

Attendance: 52,662,
TV: ABC
[NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis forward the video to the 14:57 minute mark where the kickoff starts. This is the COMPLETE version of this game NOT the ESPN Classic one]
It was a night for redemption and the Philadelphia Stars, a team driven all year long by a two-point loss in the United States Football League's inaugural championship game, would not be denied.
Chuck Fusina came to pass, Kelvin Bryant came to run and above all,Coach Jim Mora's club came to play defense, shutting down the Arizona Wranglers 23-3 to win the USFL's second title game before a Tampa Stadium crowd of 52,662.
Philadelphia, a 24-22 loser to Michigan in the first USFL championship game in Denver the year before, dominated the Wranglers from start to finish, although a trio of turnovers threatened to spoil the club's mission.
Fusina completed his first 10 passes as the Stars built a 13-3 halftime lead and Bryant, the league's most valuable player in 1983 and second leading rusher in 1984, ran for 115 yards on 29 carries to pace an offensive attack that featured a USFL playoff-record 59 rushing plays.
Philadelphia controlled the ball for 43 minutes, 19 seconds to Arizona's 16:41 and the Stars outgained the Wranglers 414 yards to 119.
The loss was the Wranglers' second to the Eastern Conference champions that season and fourth in two seasons, though two came as the Chicago Blitz before the franchise moved to Arizona after the 1983 campaign.
The script for the first three contests saw Philadelphia rallying from large second-half deficits to win, but there would be none of it that night.
Bryan Thomas' 4-yard touchdown run 7:50 into the game helped the Stars to a 7-0 lead and Fusina's 1-yard sneak seven minutes later made it 13-0.
The first of Philadelphia turnovers - Ken Dunek's fumble early in the second quarter - set up Frank Corral's 37-yard field goal, but Arizona couldn't capitalize on the other two miscues.
Bryant, playing with a jammed toe, fumbled at the Wranglers goal line to end an 84-yard drive just before halftime and Ed Smith intercepted a Fusina pass and returned it 37 yards to halt another march that had traveled 68 yards in the third quarter.
Fusina, voted the game's most valuable player, eluded the Wranglers' vaunted pass rush all night, finishing with 12 completions in 17 attempts for 158 yards. More importantly, Arizona failed to sack him.
Philadelphia's "Doghouse Defense," meanwhile, took spotlight from Allen's contingent that ranked No.1 overall during the 18-game regular season.
The Stars were first against the run,though, and held Tim Spencer and Kevin Long - both 1,000-yard runners the past two years - to 33 and 29 yards, respectively.
Shutout in the second and third quarters, the Stars used the Wranglers' only turnover to set up a touchdown that put them comfortably ahead 20-3 with 9:55 left in the fourth quarter.
Don Fielder sacked Arizona quarterback Greg Landry at the Wranglers' 11-yard line, forcing a fumble recovered by Philadelphia's Buddy Moor.
Seven plays later, Bryant crashed into the end zone from the 1. David Trout, who earlier missed a 27-yard field goal, completed Philadelphia's scoring with a 39-yarder 4:34 later.
The Wranglers, losers of eight of their first 14 games, closed the season with a 12-9 record.
The club won its last four regular-season games to make the playoffs and then upset Houston and Los Angeles to become Western Conference champions.
Allen said his players had nothing to be ashamed of.
"I'm proud of them even though we lost." the 66-year-old said. "They played hard and came back from adversity all season long."
"I give the players a lot of credit . . . the coaching staff showed good leadership and we stayed together." Allen added.
"If they weren't that way we wouldn't have been this far."

Inside the USFL Report 1984: What Makes the Philadelphia Stars So Successful?
"Inside the USFL" reporter Mike Forrest asks the burning question most fans and head coaches wonder about when it comes to the Philadelphia Stars. What makes them so successful? The Stars went 15-3 in their inaugural season making it all the way to the first ever USFL Championship Game. In their second season after ten games they were 9-1 and a heavy favorite to win it all. Forrest interviews coach Jim Mora, QB Chuck Fusina, Linebacker John Bunting, DB Scott Woerner and RB David Riley, all whom gave their assessment as to why Philadelphia has won so many games in less than two seasons of the USFL's existence. -

The Feds were going to be moved to Florida due to new ownership. No one knew for sure what the team name would be once the following season began. Lampley and Schnellenberger discussed numerous topics such as why he was leaving the university after winning a championship, the rumor with his unhappiness concerning the under funding of the athletic department at Miami, making spring football successful in a new city, how different is he as a coach now as opposed to when he was in the pros. All of this proved not to be for Schnellenberger as the USFL owners voted 12-2 to move the league to a fall schedule going head to head with... -

Jim Lampley interviews Pittsburgh Maulers running back Mike Rozier as they discuss the disappointing season he had so far in the USFL and some of the factors as to why. In this candid interview Rozier talks about the lingering ankle injury he sustained many months prior while playing in the Orange Bowl for the Miami Hurricanes.

Jim Lampley interviews the then University of Miami Hurricanes head coach Howard Schnellenberger who had accepted to be the new coach for the Washington Federals.
The Feds were going to be moved to Florida due to new ownership. No one knew for sure what the team name would be once the following season began.
Lampley and Schnellenberger discussed numerous topics such as why he was leaving the university after winning a championship, the rumor with his unhappiness concerning the under funding of the athletic department at Miami, making spring football successful in a new city, how different is he as a coach now as opposed to when he was in the pros.
All of this proved not to be for Schnellenberger as the USFL owners voted 12-2 to move the league to a fall schedule going head to head with the NFL. The Feds ended up in Orlando for the third and final season under a new name the "Renegades" along with a new head coach Lee Corso.
