I saw a commercial for the upcoming season opener of the USFL the other day on ABC. They mentioned two rules that they will be using which differ from the NFL. First, they will have the 2-point conversion. Hurrah!! There`s nothing like going for 2 with 3 seconds to go and you`re down by 1. Secondly, they will allow a 1-inch tee for PATs and field goals. This should increase the distances kickers can convert on by 5-10 yards. I`m still going to put BASEBALL as my #1 priority, but will keep an eye on the Chic. Blitz. AS for Herschel, I think he should STAY in school, play 1 more year for Georgia, and then not sign any pro contract till after the `84 Olympics. We could use his speed in the sprints. He`ll still be able to make loads of money after the games, possibly even more with the fame he may earn. Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tomoc

Another USFL rule that differs from NFL is defensive pass interference. In the USFL, it's a 15 yard penalty from the line of scrimmage unless the official deems the penalty "flagrant". If it is a flagrant foul, the ball goes to the point of the penalty, like the NFL does all the time. Kris Sherwin
