BULLS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
Bulls inaugural game was a 53-14 shellacking of
the hapless Washington Federals. |
| -- |
| Federals
owner Berl Bernhard was so embarrassed that his
club had lost to an expansion team that he fired
head coach Ray Jauch after the game. |
| -- |
| The
53 points scored by the Bulls remains to this
day the most points scored by a pro football
team, in any league, in its inaugural regular
season game. |
| -- |
| The
Bulls drew a USFL record 73,227 fans to the
Gator Bowl for their second game, against
Herschel Walker, Brian Sipe and the New Jersey
Generals. |
| -- |
| The
Gens won the game, 28-26, but the Bulls would
eventually add Sipe to their 1985 roster when
the Generals signed QB Doug Flutie. |
| -- |
| The
Bulls lowest attendance of the year was 31,638
against the Houston Gamblers - a figure that
most USFL teams at the time would've killed to
see. |
