Birmingham will end the regular season and open the UFL playoffs with home games against the Panthers.
Birmingham Stallions running back C.J. Marable carries the football during a United Football League game against the Michigan Panthers on April 7, 2024, at Ford Field in Detroit.But the Michigan team that Birmingham beat in Week 2 of the season isn’t the same as the Panthers who will oppose the Stallions in the regular-season finale on Saturday and the UFL playoffs on June 8.
Danny Etling started at quarterback the first two games after Perry’s departure, then missed two games with a hand injury. Brian Lewerke started those two games before Etling came back for Sunday’s 26-22 victory over the Houston Roughnecks. Hills ran for five touchdowns in the first three games after Perry’s injury, and Matt Coburn III has helped the Panthers push forward on the ground with 336 yards and three touchdowns on 69 carries over the past five games.
The Stallions’ leading tackler, linebacker Kyahva Tezino said the Birmingham defense could gain beneficial insight about the new-look Michigan offense this week before the postseason game next week. “I think Mike Nolan has done a really good job with that team,” Holtz said of the Panthers. “They’re on a five-game winning streak right now coming in here. They’re playing with a lot of confidence right now. We beat them early in the year at their place 20-13, and they had the ball with two minutes to go in the game trying to find a way to get in the end zone, and our defense held them. We know it’s going to be a tight game.”“We need to come back,” Holtz said.
