The USFL will start Saturday night with the Birmingham Stallions taking on the New Jersey Generals.

It will be the first game of the league’s spring season. Each game will be played in Birmingham at Protective Stadium and Legion Field. The games will be broadcast on FOX and NBC.

Tuberville, the former head coach at Auburn and a few other college football programs, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he was happy for the young players to have an opportunity to go out on the field and prove themselves in the upstart league. "It’ll give quarterbacks a chance to even improve and get better and have a chance to build some depth. There’s not a lot of depth in quarterbacks in the NFL. The ones behind the first-team quarterback, they never play. I think that’s the big advantage of this. We’ve needed it."Closeup of Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville during game vs Tennessee, Atlanta, GA on Dec. 4, 2004.

Furthermore, Tuberville said it will help develop the skills of those at every level of football — not just the players.
