Attendance: 38,010,

[NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis you can forward to the 8:00 minute mark where the game begins]
Rookie Trumaine Johnson caught one touchdown pass and set up a second to lead Chicago past Washington and give Coach George Allen a triumphant return to the nation's capital.
Greg Landry, a veteran of 14 years with the NFL's Detroit Lions and Baltimore Colts, repeatedly found the seams in the Federal secondary, completing 19 of 26 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns.
The Blitz's No. 1 draft choice out of Grambling, Johnson ran away from the Washington secondary to catch 11 passes for 158 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown reception.
Allen, who was fired in 1977 after leading the Washington Redskins for seven years, was greeted warmly by the 38,010 fans who ignored a steady drizzle and a regional TV telecast to attend the new league's inaugural game in Washington.

Before the ESPN 30 for 30 "Small Potatoes" there was a 1980's documentary that chronicled the beginning of an exciting football league venture which ended tragically in a court room.
There are interviews such as with the then USFL Commissioner Chet Simmons in 1983 discussing the demand for football in the spring. We also hear from one of the jurors in the anti trust suit stating that the $1 verdict was supposed to be a "joke" and that they never intended for that to be the monetary value of their decision.
Despite the fact the league folded once the verdict came down the documentary highlights more good times than bad. From touchdowns to high profile players, teams, end zone celebrations, the fans, press conferences etc. It was truly a league to remember.

In 1983 the upstart United States Football League (USFL) had the audacity to challenge the almighty NFL. The new league did the unthinkable by playing in the spring and plucked three straight Heisman Trophy winners away from the NFL. The 12-team USFL played before crowds that averaged 25,000, and started off with respectable TV ratings. But with success came expansion and new owners. This included a certain high profile and impatient real estate baron whose vision was at odds with the league's founders. Soon, the USFL was reduced to waging a desperate anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL. This yielded an ironic verdict that effectively forced the league out of business. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, Academy Award-nominated and Peabody Award-winning director Mike Tollin, himself once a chronicler of the league, will showcase the remarkable influence of those three years on football history and attempt to answer the question, "Who Killed the USFL?"

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.

1983 Championship - Sunday, July 17, 1983
Attendance: 50,906
TV: ABC
[NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis forward the video to the 10:00 minute mark where kickoff begins]
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.

1984 Quarterfinals - Saturday, June 30, 1984
Attendance: 19,038,
TV: ABC
[Note: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis forward the video to the 6:15 minute mark where the game starts. Also the game audio is mute for a few minutes at the start due to issues the local affiliate had with broadcasting the game. The audio comes back at the 8:43 minute mark.]
The Philadelphia Stars caught up with the New Jersey Generals at the right time, in a playoff game, and thrashed them, 28-7.
With the running back Kelvin Bryant scoring three touchdowns, the Stars won all the small struggles that make up a football game and ended the Generals' season without argument.
The result wiped clean the two losses, their only two, to the Generals in the regular season and moved the Stars (17-2) to the Eastern Conference title game in the United States Football League playoffs.
On a humid afternoon following rain, the attendance was only 19,038 at the home stadium of the University of Pennsylvania, which has a 60,546-seat capacity.
The Stars' ultimate goal is a second consecutive appearance in the U.S.F.L. championship game, which they lost to the Panthers last year.
Herschel Walker of the Generals added, ''When you play a team as good as Philadelphia, you have to put points on the board when you get in their end.''
And that the Generals, whose season ended at 14-5, did not do. They moved the ball well against the league's top-rated defensive unit but did not get the big play, or even the medium-sized one, that must come from the quarterback position in playoff contests.
Sipe had his troubles. His late pass, late by a split-second, to his tight end, Jeff Spek, was intercepted by Scott Woerner at the Stars' 15-yard line, ending the Generals' first thrust.
Philadelphia jumped out to a 28-0 lead and never looked back...the game was played at Franklin Field because the Phillies were scheduled in Veterans Stadium...both teams dressed at the Vet because the locker rooms were too small at Franklin...the teams then walked a block to Franklin Field.

The United States Football League (USFL) was an American football league which was in active operation from 1983 to 1987. It played a spring/summer schedule in its first three seasons and a traditional autumn/winter schedule was set to commence before league operations ceased. The USFL was conceived in 1965 by New Orleans, Louisiana, businessman David Dixon, who saw a market for a football league which would play while the established National Football League was in its off-season. Dixon had been a key player in the expansion of the NFL into New Orleans and the New Orleans Saints began play in 1967.
The USFL had notable success, including three consecutive Heisman Trophy winners: Georgia running back Herschel Walker and Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie signed with the New Jersey Generals, and Nebraska running back Mike Rozier signed with the Pittsburgh Maulers out of college. Future Pro Football Hall of Fame members defensive end Reggie White of the University of Tennessee and quarterbacks Jim Kelly of the University of Miami and Steve Young of Brigham Young University, began their professional careers with the USFL's Memphis Showboats, Houston Gamblers, and Los Angeles Express, respectively. Veterans, such as quarterbacks Chuck Fusina and Cliff Stoudt, who had limited success in the NFL, had successful careers in the USFL. Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Dave Lapham signed an unusual personal services contract (rather than a traditional players' contract) with billionaire New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump.

Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He is well-known as a real-estate developer who amassed vast hotel, casino, and other real-estate properties, in the New York City area and around the world.
Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.
In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.

Keith Jackson interviews New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump and Birmingham Stallions owner Marvin L Warner in 1984 during halftime between the two clubs. Trump is welcomed to the USFL community by Keith Jackson and compliments him on his intense interest in merchandising. They discuss how the media portrays him, the quality of the league as far as players and keeping the USFL strong. Keith then turns his attention to Stallions owner Marvin Warner asking him about the changes in the officiating, having RB Joe Cribbs as part of his team as well as being optimistic about the new season despite the media not showing support for the league. One thing about this interview I noticed was the whole time Marvin had his arms folded and kept looking to his left.

1983 Week 1 - Sunday, March 6, 1983 Attendance: 38,010, TV: ABC [NOTE: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis you can forward to the 8:00 minute mark where the game begins] Rookie Trumaine Johnson caught one touchdown pass and set up a second to lead Chicago past Washington and give Coach George Allen a triumphant return to the nation's capital. Greg Landry, a veteran of 14 years with the NFL's Detroit Lions and Baltimore Colts, repeatedly found the seams in the Federal secondary, completing 19 of 26 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns. The Blitz's No. 1 draft choice out of Grambling, Johnson ran away from the Washington secondary to catch 11 passes for 158 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown reception.

The Best of the USFL: Three Years in the Life and Times of a Professional Football League
Before the ESPN 30 for 30 "Small Potatoes" there was a 1980's documentary that chronicled the beginning of an exciting football league venture which ended tragically in a court room. There are interviews such as with the then USFL Commissioner Chet Simmons in 1983 discussing the demand for football in the spring. We also hear from one of the jurors in the anti trust suit stating that the $1 verdict was supposed to be a "joke" and that they never intended for that to be the monetary value of their decision. Despite the fact the league folded once the verdict came down the documentary highlights more good times than bad. From touchdowns to high profile players, teams, end zone celebrations, the fans, press conferences etc. It was truly a league to remember. -

ESPN 30 For 30 - Small Potatoes Who Killed the USFL
In 1983 the upstart United States Football League (USFL) had the audacity to challenge the almighty NFL. The new league did the unthinkable by playing in the spring and plucked three straight Heisman Trophy winners away from the NFL. The 12-team USFL played before crowds that averaged 25,000, and started off with respectable TV ratings. But with success came expansion and new owners. This included a certain high profile and impatient real estate baron whose vision was at odds with the league's founders. Soon, the USFL was reduced to waging a desperate anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL. This yielded an ironic verdict that effectively forced the league out of business. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, Academy Award-nominated and Peabody Award-winning director Mike Tollin, himself o... -
1985 - USFL Championship Game: Baltimore Stars vs Oakland Invaders
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 cont... -

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 Det... -

Also the game audio is mute for a few minutes at the start due to issues the local affiliate had with broadcasting the game. The audio comes back at the 8:43 minute mark.] The Philadelphia Stars caught up with the New Jersey Generals at the right time, in a playoff game, and thrashed them, 28-7. With the running back Kelvin Bryant scoring three touchdowns, the Stars won all the small struggles that make up a football game and ended the Generals' season without argument. The result wiped clean the two losses, their only two, to the Generals in the regular season and moved the Stars (17-2) to the East... -

USFL Report 1984 - Interview with Donald Trump & Marvin Warner
Keith Jackson interviews New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump and Birmingham Stallions owner Marvin L Warner in 1984 during halftime between the two clubs. Trump is welcomed to the USFL community by Keith Jackson and compliments him on his intense interest in merchandising. They discuss how the media portrays him, the quality of the league as far as players and keeping the USFL strong. Keith then turns his attention to Stallions owner Marvin Warner asking him about the changes in the officiating, having RB Joe Cribbs as part of his team as well as being optimistic about the new season despite the media not showing support for the league. One thing about this interview I noticed was the whole time Marvin had his arms folded and kept looking to his left. -

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.

1984 - USFL Divisional Playoffs Tampa Bay Bandits vs Birmingham Stallions
1984 Quarterfinals - Sunday, July 1, 1984 Attendance: 32,000, TV: ABC Rollie Dotsch may have set a precedent of sorts by giving his Birmingham Stallions a day off to cool off before meeting the Tampa Bay Bandits in the United States Football League playoffs. Joe Cribbs, the league's leading rusher, gained 112 yards, Danny Miller kicked five field goals and the Birmingham defense set up two touchdowns to advance to the conference final in Philadelphia. Miller booted field goals of 42, 49,35,42 and 32 yards. Cnbbs, with 1,467 yards in the regular season, scored on a 3 yard run in the third period to give the Stallions a 27-11 lead.

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.

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.

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.

The Philadelphia Stars caught up with the New Jersey Generals at the right time, in a playoff game, and thrashed them, 28-7.
With the running back Kelvin Bryant scoring three touchdowns, the Stars won all the small struggles that make up a football game and ended the Generals' season without argument.
The result wiped clean the two losses, their only two, to the Generals in the regular season and moved the Stars (17-2) to the Eastern Conference title game in the United States Football League playoffs.
On a humid afternoon following rain, the attendance was only 19,038 at the home stadium of the University of Pennsylvania, which has a 60,546-seat capacity.
The Stars' ultimate goal is a second consecutive appearance in the U.S.F.L. championship game, which they lost to the Panthers last year.
Herschel Walker of the Generals added, ''When you play a team as good as Philadelphia, you have to put points on the board when you get in their end.''
And that the Generals, whose season ended at 14-5, did not do. They moved the ball well against the league's top-rated defensive unit but did not get the big play, or even the medium-sized one, that must come from the quarterback position in playoff contests.
Sipe had his troubles. His late pass, late by a split-second, to his tight end, Jeff Spek, was intercepted by Scott Woerner at the Stars' 15-yard line, ending the Generals' first thrust.
Philadelphia jumped out to a 28-0 lead and never looked back...the game was played at Franklin Field because the Phillies were scheduled in Veterans Stadium...both teams dressed at the Vet because the locker rooms were too small at Franklin...the teams then walked a block to Franklin Field.

Keith Jackson interviews New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump and Birmingham Stallions owner Marvin L Warner in 1984 during halftime between the two clubs.
Trump is welcomed to the USFL community by Keith Jackson and compliments him on his intense interest in merchandising. They discuss how the media portrays him, the quality of the league as far as players and keeping the USFL strong.
Keith then turns his attention to Stallions owner Marvin Warner asking him about the changes in the officiating, having RB Joe Cribbs as part of his team as well as being optimistic about the new season despite the media not showing support for the league.
One thing about this interview I noticed was the whole time Marvin had his arms folded and kept looking to his left.

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."

Rollie Dotsch may have set a precedent of sorts by giving his Birmingham Stallions a day off to cool off before meeting the Tampa Bay Bandits in the United States Football League playoffs.
Joe Cribbs, the league's leading rusher, gained 112 yards, Danny Miller kicked five field goals and the Birmingham defense set up two touchdowns to advance to the conference final in Philadelphia.
Miller booted field goals of 42, 49,35,42 and 32 yards.
Cnbbs, with 1,467 yards in the regular season, scored on a 3 yard run in the third period to give the Stallions a 27-11 lead.
Cnbbs also caught three passes for 55 yards. One was a 29-yarder to the Tampa Bay 1 in the first period to set up the first of two short scoring runs by quarterback Cliff Stoudt.
An interception by Chuck Clanton and a fumble recovery by Buddy Aydelette put Birmingham in position for two of its touchdowns.

1983 Divisional Playoffs - Sunday, July 10, 1983
Attendance: 60,237,
TV: ABC
[Note: If you want to skip all the pregame analysis forward the video to the 8:30 minute mark where the kickoff begins]
Michigan quarterback Bobby Hebert passed for one touchdown and ran for another to lead the Panthers to a 37-21 victory over the Oakland Invaders and into the United States Football League's first championship game.
The Panthers, who won the Central Division title with a 12-6 record and have now won 12 of the past 14 games, will play the Philadelphia Stars in Denver's Mile High Stadium next Sunday night for the title.
With 25 seconds to play, after Oakland got its final touchdown, thousands of fans swarmed onto the field and tore down both goalposts. Players and coaches from both teams and the officiating crew headed for the safety of the tunnels to the locker rooms and minutes later USFL officials ruled the game was complete at 14:35.
Hebert, who completed 18 of 27 passes for 295 yards, hit Anthony Carter with a 3-yard scoring pass with 11 seconds remaining in the first half to lift Michigan to a 17-7 halftime advantage.
Hebert also scored on a 1-yard plunge that capped an 80-yard, 11-play drive in the third period.
The Panthers, who had averaged 22,251 during the season, drew a USFL-record 60,237 into the Silverdome — a crowd built in part on reduced ticket prices and free parking.
The Invaders, who won the Pacific Division with a 9-9 regular-season record, grabbed an early 7-0 lead on a 1-yard sneak by quarterback Fred Besana.
Michigan tied it on its next possession when John Williams ran 5 yards for a TD 1:47 into the second period. Oakland linebacker David Shaw intercepted an Hebert swing pass on the third play of the second half and burst 19 yards into the end zone for a TD to cut the Michigan lead to 17-14.
But Hebert's sneak widened the edge to 24-14 with 9:55 remaining in 'the third period. Then Panthers linebacker Ray Bentley forced a fumble by Invader running back Ted Torosian with 2:50 to go in the third quarter. The ball was recovered by defensive end Allen Hughes on the Michigan 17.
Five plays later, Ken Lacy slanted off left tackle on a quick opener for an 18-yard TD and a 31-14 lead. Cleo Miller closed out Michigan's scoring on a 3-yard TD run 1:54 from the final gun and Oakland's final touchdown came on a 5-yard pass from Besana to Marc Lewis.
Place-kicker Novo Bojovic booted a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter for the Panthers. The Michigan defense, led by Bentley, recovered two fumbles and also picked off a pass of Besana passes. Bentley was credited with forcing two of the fumbles and recovering one.
One of Hebert's favorite targets was Carter, who finished with three catches for 78 yards. Carter's biggest catch was a 56-yard play on the series leading to Lacy's touchdown.
The Panthers displayed a flair for the unexpected just as they did in the final-season game against Arizona, a 33-7 rout of the Wranglers. Their play selection consisted of several laterals and reverses which caught Oakland's defense off-balance.
