Event Description: Stallions Oust Outlaws
A pair of touchdown throws, and another on the ground, by Cliff Stoudt in the first half sent the Birmingham Stallions storming past the Oklahoma Outlaws Sunday, 41-27, and into the Independence division final of the USFL playoffs.
Birmingham took control early thanks chiefly to a breakdown of the Oklahoma defense, as the Stallions led by a score of 30-17 at the end of the first half.
Darryl Mason had six catches for 42 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Joey Jones had three catches good for 73 yards and Greg Anderson also had three catches for 87 yards and a 49-yard touchdown reception.
Neuheisel threw for 290 yards and finished with 24 completions in 33 tries, but also threw four interceptions and was sacked three times.
Oklahoma pulled to within 33-27 with just 5:15 remaining, but a Tony Truelove five-yard touchdown run combined with a Joel Coles two-point covert sealed the win for the visitors.
The Stallions will now travel to Memphis to take on the division leading Showboats next weekend.
