Memphis Showboats vs. New Jersey Generals

Setting the stage

The Generals are 0-3 against South Division opponents and need a win at home this weekend if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive. New Jersey is tied for the league’s worst record despite giving up the fewest points in the USFL this season. Heading into Sunday’s tilt, the Generals lead the league in rushing at 138.6 yards per game behind Darius Victor (429 yards) and quarterback D’Andre Johnson (264), but they’re second-worst in passing yards.

It will be a challenge, as the Showboats have won four straight to go undefeated in the month of May and bounce back from a rough 0-3 start to the season.

The Generals, meanwhile, are looking to flip the script on their season before it’s too late.
