It’s week 7 of the United States Football League and the weekend is marked by an All-Pennsylvania matchup contested in neighboring Ohio.
Yes, the Pittsburgh Maulers (sort of) host the Philadelphia Stars at 9 p.m. EST Saturday at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.
FS1 Network will broadcast, but football fans without cable can still watch USFL games by signing up: fuboTV (free trial) or DirecTV Stream.
The Stars top the USFL North Division but will enter the Keystone showdown as a slight underdog. Pittsburgh secured a 21-13 victory over Philly in week 3.
While Philly has claimed two straight, the franchise has not posted an offensive touchdown in that stretch. Kicker Luis Aquilar has been the hero, converting 11 of 12 field goals in the last two weeks. QB Case Cookus and the Stars offense lost three touchdowns to penalties last week vs. New Orleans.

Troy Williams leads the Maulers in rushing with 214 yards, meaning Pittsburgh will want to get RBs Garrett Groshek, Madre London and Duane Gary in gear Saturday. Back-up QB James Morgan is another option.
