Last two minutes, but I wouldn't trust Rose here. I'd go for that first down if it comes to it.

Same haha. I was so upset we never got an XFL OT so to get one game 1 would be awesome.

The 1 point kick probably helps send games to OT. The missed conversions in the XFL definitely hurt thr chances of OT games.

These teams are incredibly impressive for only having practiced for 3 weeks.
Or XFL1.0, the only things you remember about that game are Goose bagging on how bad the Hitmen were, "SLOPPY SECONDS!", and the Clement/cheerleader vignette. Not really the plan.

Best case scenario for the USFL is that this goes to overtime and the Stallions win, send the crowd home happy. But I feel like the Generals were the better team and deserve the W, so I'm torn.

Brutal penalties for the Gs: Luani on the first Bham drive, the two back to back offsides on the last scoring drive, Turpin on the Generals last drive, and now Orr here

I had a feeling for weeks this was a last minute win or loss by someone.

Game was good. Close exciting esp 2nd half.

Final assessment - near perfect start for USFL.

Great game, great crowd, great presentation. Not perfect, but hard to ask for much more in a debut.
