THE ROSTERS:Welcome back, Michigan Panthers! Meet the 14 Michigan players

CARLOS MONARREZ:USFL must deliver on promise of good value if it wants fans to stick with it in Detroit

Game notes: The Panthers won just two games last season, but really didn’t shake up the roster much in the offseason. New coach Mike Nolan — whose attempt to bring back the suit on NFL sidelines so many years ago was better-intentioned than ex-coach Jeff Fisher’s attempt to bring back ripped jeans last season — has a couple options at quarterback: Incumbent starter Josh Love from San Jose State, who sounds like a reality show contestant but passed for 247 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions with the Panthers last season, or Carson Strong from Nevada, who ALSO sounds like a reality show contestant, but passed for 4,175 yards, 36 TDs and eight interceptions as a senior in 2021.
