Opening weekend -- two games today, two tomorrow.
Biggest change is that instead of all 8 teams playing in Birmingham, there are now 4 "home" sites with 2 teams each.
Detroit (Ford Field): Michigan, Philadelphia
Canton (HOF Stadium): New Jersey, Pittsburgh
Birmingham (Protective Stadium): Birmingham, New Orleans
Memphis (Liberty Bowl): Memphis, Houston
One USFL rule change regarding fumble situations, which has gotten a fair amount of discussion around here during CFB season:
"A ball fumbled forward from the field of play into the end zone and out of bounds will no longer be a touchback, but will be returned to the spot of the fumble with the fumbling team retaining possession."
Former Cyclones currently on USFL rosters, per each team's website:
Marcel Spears (Houston)
E.J. Bibbs (New Orleans)
Greg Eisworth (New Orleans)
