The Birmingham Stallions scored 28 straight points on Saturday to vanquish the Michigan Panthers, 31-18, in the USFL Conference Championship game.
The victory moves the Stallions into their third straight title game. They won a pair of USFL championships and now will face the winner of Sunday’s San Antonio Brahmas-St. Louis Battlehawks clash in the UFL championship.
The victory was not easy. Birmingham fell behind 18-3 and starting quarterback Adrian Martinez was having an off-day.
Coach Skip Holtz inserted Matt Corral and everything changed in the Stallions’ favor.
