Are the Philadelphia Stars being overlooked? Is this team actually championship material? Let’s take a look and break it all down.
The Offense: Cooking Hot
Philadelphia’s offense had a hard time finding chemistry during the first few weeks. Bryan Scott, the team’s starting quarterback, went down with an injury in week three. Just as the team was beginning to gel with Scott, he was no longer able to play. Unfortunately, Scott will be out for the remainder of the season.

Case Cookus has filled in for Scott since the injury, seeing some ups and downs. However, over the past couple of weeks, Cookus found his footing – making this offense a lot scarier. During week eight’s shellacking of Michigan, Cookus scored five total touchdowns, combining for over 350 total yards of offense.
