Philadelphia Stars quarterback Bryan Scott solidified his place as one of the top signal-callers in the USFL, leading Philadelphia to a 30-23 win over the Pittsburgh Maulers in a heated competition on Saturday afternoon that saw several lead exchanges and the first-ever three-point conversion. 

Scott, a standout at Occidental College, put on a stellar performance to give the Stars their first win of the season, totaling 273-passing yards for three touchdowns and one on the ground to kick off Week 2.

The Maulers improved significantly from their Week 1 loss against the Tampa Bay Bandits where they failed to score a single touchdown.

After Ramiz Ahmed knocked in a field goal to get Pittsburgh on the board first, Scott would answer with a touchdown pass to Diondre Overton, saying he "kinda had to make chicken salad out of you know what." 

The rest of the game would continue to be an exchange of scores. One of the biggest plays of the game came in the second quarter when cornerback Jaylon McClain-Sapp would recover a fumble for a 79-yard touchdown return to close the gap to 10-14.
