The Birmingham Stallions are playing in a new spring football league, and they’re continuing their winning ways. The Stallions are unbeaten as the United Football League reached its midway point last week. The UFL came about after the mergers of the USFL and XFL last September. Birmingham, the two-time USFL champion, was one of four teams to survive along with four teams from the XFL. The Stallions are the league’s only unbeaten team at 5-0 and can wrap up a playoff spot with a win at Memphis on Saturday. “Skip Holtz is a heck of a football coach. He has a great way about him and how he manages that team,” XFL President and CEO Russ Brandon said. “When you saw them in training camp, you thought this was a team that was going to be tough to beat.” The USFL, which was owned by Fox Sports, had its first season in 2022. The only similarities it had between the USFL of 1983-85 was playing in the spring along with the team names. |
