Last week, the Stallions stayed undefeated by beating the Philadelphia Stars 30-17. That win took a massive second-half effort, with the Stallions scoring 23 unanswered points, including all 16 in the final 30 minutes.
Stallions quarterback J’Mar Smith continues to emerge as one of the top playmakers in the league. He finished last week’s game 17-of-22 for 203 yards with a score and no picks. Despite being in a QB rotation with Alex McGough – which included Smith not seeing the field for an entire game – the former Louisiana Tech Bulldog is third in the league in passing yards with 784. His 7.1 yards per attempt lead all qualified passers.
How will Smith handle the lockdown Michigan defense on Saturday? Jeff Fisher’s team allows just 16 points per game this year, tied with the New Jersey Generals for the fewest in the league. However, they are coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Bandits in which they allowed a season-high 27 points.
