RB- Bo Scarbrough
WR- Marlon Williams
LB- Scooby Wright
CB- Lorenzo Burns
Skip Holtz's Stallions are a good bet to win the USFL Championship again in 2022 after winning it last year. The Stallions, on the other hand, were the only team with a true home-field advantage, and their games were frequently the best-attended in the league.
Their detractors would argue that the Stallions had an unfair advantage due to home-field and crowd advantage, while Stallions fans would argue that they only needed to win two games in Canton, Ohio, to be crowned league champions.
In any case, Holtz is bringing back more of the players who helped him win the championship, such as quarterback Smith, former Alabama running back Scarborough, and former All-American Wright, to help him defend their title.
What is the Birmingham Stallion Win-Loss Record?
Currently, the season has not started yet but last season, the Birmingham Stallion were tied with New Jersey Generals for the best record in the league with 9 wins and 1 loss for both the teams. The difference, however, is Stallion finished the season with a championship to celebrate and are hoping to go for a back-to-back this 2023 season.
Skip Holtz is confident that Birmingham will run it back with some of the same members of the team from last season
