Michigan Panthers struggle mightily on offense in 23-7 loss to Pittsburgh Maulers

Oh, how quickly things can change in a football game.

The Michigan Panthers got off to a roaring start on Saturday in their third attempt to get their first win at Ford Field, but some costly early plays flipped the momentum and the Panthers lost, 23-7, to the Pittsburgh Maulers in an abysmal offensive performance.

After the Panthers forced a three-and-out on the Maulers' opening drive, return man Ishmael Hyman stood back to receive a punt. With his heels in the end zone, Hyman made the risky call to take it out. It was a wise move.
