The Michigan Panthers pulled out a hard-fought 19-13 victory over the San Antonio Gunslingers in Week 11, improving their record to 5-6. Michigan quarterback Bobby Hebert led the way, throwing two touchdown passes, including a 7-yarder to Walter Allen and a 10-yard strike to Derek Holloway. Michigan also scored a safety when John Corker sacked San Antonio’s Rick Neuheisel in the end zone, helping to give the Panthers a slim lead in the second quarter.
San Antonio struggled offensively, managing only 187 total yards and going 3-for-14 on third down conversions. Despite their challenges, the Gunslingers kept the game close, with George Works scoring a 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to cut the Panthers’ lead to just three points. However, Michigan’s defense held firm, with key contributions from Ray Bentley, who recorded a sack and forced a fumble, and Corker, who was instrumental throughout the game.
The Panthers sealed the game with a late 31-yard field goal from Novo Bojovic as time expired. Michigan’s ability to control possession and limit San Antonio’s offensive output proved crucial, as they outgained the Gunslingers 302-187 and held the ball for nearly 35 minutes. With the win, the Panthers keep their playoff hopes alive while San Antonio falls to 3-8, struggling to find consistency.
