The winless Pittsburgh Maulers were in action on Sunday afternoon, taking on the winless Michigan Panthers at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala. It was the Panthers earning their first win, knocking off the Maulers in convincing fashion, 24-0.
Michigan got the ball first and put together a nine-play, 63 yard drive that was capped off by a six-yard touchdown run by RB Stevie Scott III. QB Paxton Lynch, a former Pittsburgh Steelers QB, scrambled for the two-point conversion, and Michigan went up 8-0. The Maulers punted away their first drive, and then Michigan went three-and-out. However, WR Jeffrey Thomas muffed the punt and Michigan took over on the Pittsburgh five-yard line.
