After a long countdown to the postseason, the Stallions square off against the Michigan Panthers on Saturday at Protective Stadium.
Birmingham Stallions wide receiver Amari Rodgers returns a kickoff during a United Football League game against the Michigan Panthers on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham.Michigan had a chance to win at the end, but Jake Bates missed a 53-yard field-goal attempt on the final snap of the regular season.
Last week’s game was the second Birmingham-Michigan meeting of the season. The Stallions defeated the Panthers 20-13 on April 7 in Detroit. Last week’s game gave the Stallions a test run against the new-look Panthers. In the first meeting, Michigan’s offense revolved around quarterback E.J. Perry. But when Perry went out with a hamstring injury in the fourth game, Danny Etling became the triggerman for a more run-centric offense. In the first game against Birmingham, the Panthers ran for 47 yards on 14 carries.
“One of the other strengths is everything’s fresh, so you take what you ran last week and you just add a couple of little wrinkles. We had a lot of things in that game that we never got to, that we didn’t call. Those things just carry right over into this week and now you really have the opportunity to grease them up for two weeks rather than one.
