Cole Kelley is a great example of why this league and the XFL should be drafting almost exclusively from the FCS. It's a different pace of football with great talent the NFL almost never looks to and can help both leagues distinguish themselves from the top-level pro game. Kelley was the best QB in the nation last year at the FCS level.
Really glad to see both the USFL and XFL back in action. Both leagues, imo, is more exciting than the NFL. The only complaint I have about the USFL, is why doesn't each team have a home to play. Only two locations? Other than that, exciting to watch the games.
It's cost cutting move. USFL doesn't have the same financial backing as the XFL (to my understanding) and so by building the league this way, they are hoping that keeping the costs down early, the play on the field will get them ratings. More ad revenue and better tv contracts will follow. That will allow them to resemble a more traditional league in the future. Or, the USFL and XFL could end up merging a la the NFL/AFL merger of the 1960s.
I see you big AG!! The best tackle I've played with/against and his resume proves it. Straight out the Haven. Class of 2012. I'm proud to have shared the field with you. I pray to play with or against you ONE more time before either of us hang up our cleats. Blessings king.
Glad to see Kelley get his opportunity. I was pretty hyped for him when my Commanders got him last year. I wanted to see what he could do in the preseason, but he got cut before he could show out. Really hope he succeeds here. His traits are truly special even if he has a ways to go. Good win for Houston. Justin Hall is beyond electric.
Mixed bag of emotions for Houston football this weekend. The Houston XFL team eliminated from the playoffs. But the Gamblers won tonight. And Texans drafted CJ Stroud.
I actually almost knew the opposite will happen. Gamblers loose, but Roughnecks would win, but did not happen. Gamblers played well offensively, but need to play better defense. They are missing 3 players from last year. Donald Payne is one of them, who is now in XFL Arlington Renegades. ahhhh🤧🥵
@@Stacie45 In a year or two, one of these spring leagues is going to be there. The San Diego State football stadium is perfect for a spring league team.
I liked this league last year. I think in addition to 8 stadiums instead of 4 having an actual brand on the unis might help too. Xfl looks more legit with those under armour jerseys and merch.
Memphis is hopeless, but that was a nice rb pass on the goal line. Snapped it right though the QB's legs. I never saw that play before. I've seen HB passes on the goal line, but not snapped through the QB's legs on a fake QB sneak. Maybe the chiefs could steal that play.
Great game 1-1 for my predictions now, really shocked the Stallions lost though, maybe the other teams will prioritize the run game against on the Stallions now
@@crossshattered5709 The poor ratings and bad attendance says otherwise. Can't hide the optics of those noticeable facts. One of these Spring league will fold. I think it is the XFL because it is terribly organized and the owners are inexperienced. But the USFL is the better football product overall. I prefer the USFL over the XFL
41 wasn't at fault, by the design of the play that they're running the corner (who ran deep to cover the post route) was supposed to remain on a zone outside, but he abandoned his zone to cover the post
Defense was playing zone but the corner cornerback was playing man. Cornerback was supposed guard the sideline but didn't. That's why 41 was yelling after bc the cornerback messed up.
I kinda like the fake crowd noise, although it should have been more for the Gamblers since it was a "home" game for them--even though the game was in Memphis.
As a hudge football fan. They did my city wrong. They threw a team of anybodies together and call them Memphis showboat. Brady white is the best QB you can find. I would've called cam Newton shid. Come on They trash. First game they showed light. Second game they showed their true colors. They not the only team like that Tho. I know it's better Qbs out there.
So this new USFL is not "major league" status like the 80s USFL, right? At least that's how Topps cards viewed the USFL and WFL on their backs/stats anyway...
Will this win help the Gamblers jumpstart their season?
Why y’all delete my comment 😂
Hopefully
The Gamblers NEED to KEEP the ball on the GROUND more!!
They were LUCKY to get the WIN with the TWO missed extra points!!🤨
Why do maulers and showboats have the same looking uniforms
They need a new qb
Justin Hall looked incredible on the long YAC TD
Came here to say this 😂
I mean he did well, however how was the flag not called for letting the clock roll to 0 🤣
A couple of great games so far, looking like a great weekend!
Incredible ending. Man everyone looks so fast in this league.
Great stuff!
I like this USFL. This is new to me. I didn't know they brought it back. Very interesting

Amazing Memphis hung around as long as they did

Michigan Panthers are gonna play in detroit

@@thebrewingsailor9172 Exactly. Good post.
Best game this season so far
Good game ....wish they would have put Gamblers and Breakers in Houston playing at Rice Stadium this year
Hall can make an nfl roster. He’d be a solid fit for the Vikings or Steelers
S/O Mark Thompson. My JuCo roommate!
USFL vs XFL Soring Bowl Championship Game would be so 🔥!!!

Great win for the Gamblers!!!!
Please put the week in the video titles.
I knew Memphis made a mistake with getting a touchdown with 2 minutes left
Exactly what I was thinking.
Incredible ending. Wow.
I'm thinking same thing they could just run the ball
Thompson with the double truck stick. 💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
8:23 😳😳😳⚰
What a game
Last time I watched a full game featuring the Memphis Showboats they had a QB named Kelley. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Bahar💪🏿🤫
Justin Hall with the mega YAC

Why are the scores still at the top of the description? Can you at least hide them at the bottom? NGL ruins tryin to watch this
4:35 bookmark to share to my mother this was great

@@danw2112 it’s called snapdragon FYI
@@Stacie45 the XFL will eventually come to a market near you one day!
Message to the USFL: If you want a more attractive product, GET THE TEAMS IN THEIR HOME CITIES AND USE SMALLER STADIUMS, bigger isn't always better.
Memphis can't afford busted coverages in the redzone like that, im sure that secondary got an earful after the game from the DC ,congrats Houston

That Cole Kelley fella can play

What you said got me excited for a football team for nothing. Memphis express was better than them.
Interesting play
I was there to
Did you go to their rematch where the Showboats won?
No but I was hella mad I thought they were gonna win but turns out they didn't
Great game 1-1 for my predictions now, really shocked the Stallions lost though, maybe the other teams will prioritize the run game against on the Stallions now
Good exciting match up. This is better than the XFL to paraphrase a VinnieMac saying
The USFL and XFL are doing good tho up to your thoughts which one is better idc there both good

@@crossshattered5709 Then why ask me, bud?
@@davidbuswa9425 he didnt lol
Finaly in 1080p
What an amazing game. I really wish the Showboats could have pulled it off though
which stadium are they playing in
Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium where the Memphis Tigers play
@@DDDiego thanks for that information
Much more competitive than I've seen from USFL so far. Good for them. IMO, little more into the XFL......for now.
4:22 no replay? Really?
Wow! Who's writing these games?🤔🤣
Why did 41 leave Hall wide open?!
Hall went out of his zone. That’s the corner back fault. He was supposed to be there.
41 wasn't at fault, by the design of the play that they're running the corner (who ran deep to cover the post route) was supposed to remain on a zone outside, but he abandoned his zone to cover the post

@@ChrisBookTV oh ok, thanks
Great game. Why Haley such a sore loser lol
Gamblers should have been milking that clock with Thompson instead of passing!
Well Houston is 1-1 today
No they are 1-2 The Gamblers
@@kashakamcpherson9719 he was talking about the roughnecks lost yesterday too lol
@@ejwilliams2921 oh ok I didn't know that

Showboats really finna go 0-10
As a hudge football fan. They did my city wrong. They threw a team of anybodies together and call them Memphis showboat. Brady white is the best QB you can find. I would've called cam Newton shid. Come on They trash. First game they showed light. Second game they showed their true colors. They not the only team like that Tho. I know it's better Qbs out there.
Any usfl team that needs a qb should sign Matthew McKay from Elon. The dude is talented
So this new USFL is not "major league" status like the 80s USFL, right? At least that's how Topps cards viewed the USFL and WFL on their backs/stats anyway...
Correct. Neither the USFL and XFL are trying to compete directly with the NFL
Spoiler stopping comment
Two more sub par QBs. Hey USFL how about letting all teams play their home game at their cities venues?????? Your attendance would triple
Great game but I prefer the NFL rules
How do they sustain this league?
it's guaranteed for 4 (or 6 Idk) years I believe, with this being year 2
JESUS HAS A PLAN FOR YALL🙏❤️✝️🕊️
; I sure hope there's better ref's in the plan.
Memphis express team was better. Go get some of those players back on defense for Memphis. They need help bad
M
Fill up th eats dam its har to watch horribe marketing like make tickets 5 bucks r something crow noise is needed
@XFL has better highlights videos
Sad day for Memphis
What a game
