Event Description: USFL Saturday Summary

Mike Rozier rushed for 104 tards with one touchdown run and Brian Franco kicked a career-high six field goals to lead the Jacksonville Bulls to a 32-14 rout over the Denver Gold on Saturday night from the Gator Bowl.
The visiting Gold struggled offensively as quarterback Vince Evans was knocked out of the game in the third quarter after getting sacked by rookie Keith Millard.
Evans hit on 13-of-20 passes for 117 yards with one interception and three sacks. Backup Bob Gagliano entered the game after Evans left the contest but completed only one pass on 13 attempts.
Denver Coach Darrel “Mouse” Davis was not happy with his teams’ effort and poor play overall. “Let's hope this was an aberration. We came out early and played hard, but then our quarterback got hurt and we really struggled.” The Gold suffered “an old fashioned whuppin’” in the second half,” said Davis.
Game Notes: Bulls’ defensive back Derrick Batiste returned an interception 28 yards for a score early in the second frame…Bill Johnson led the Denver offense with 93 yards rushing with two touchdowns…Perry Kemp finished with 102 receiving yards while Robbie Mahfouz was steady at quarterback as he completed 16 of 26 passes for 178 yards.
Elsewhere in the USFL on Saturday, the Birmingham Stallions dominated in their 49-23 win over Los Angeles. Cliff Stoudt and Joe Cribbs combined for five touchdowns as Birmingham bounced back from last weeks’ loss to New Jersey.
