Hebert, Panthers Roll Past Outlaws in Dominant 27-10 Win

The Michigan Panthers bolstered their playoff hopes with a commanding 27-10 victory over the Oklahoma Outlaws in neutral territory. Bobby Hebert orchestrated an efficient offensive attack, throwing for 262 yards and three touchdowns en route to earning MVP honors. Anthony Carter and Derek Holloway dazzled with big plays, while rookie tight end Cobb emerged as a reliable red-zone target, snagging two touchdowns. Michigan’s defense also made its presence felt, forcing two interceptions in the first half and holding Oklahoma to a single score until the final minute.

Michigan set the tone early, capitalizing on an interception by David Greenwood to set up Hebert’s first touchdown pass to Anthony Carter. The Panthers added 13 more points in the second quarter, highlighted by a 29-yard touchdown pass to Cobb and a long field goal by Novo Bojovic. While the Outlaws struggled to sustain drives, Doug Williams faced pressure from Michigan’s front seven, failing to generate consistency in the passing game. The Outlaws’ only significant offensive highlight came in the final seconds, when Williams connected with Hill for a 14-yard touchdown, capping a quick 63-yard drive.

Oklahoma’s defensive unit, led by Neil Hope and Jack Del Rio, delivered a spirited effort with several key stops and a fourth-quarter sack, but it wasn’t enough to contain Michigan’s well-balanced attack. The Panthers controlled the clock with a methodical ground game, finishing with 39 rushes for 112 yards to complement Hebert’s aerial performance. Now at 7-8, the Panthers are poised for a potential late-season playoff push, while the Outlaws, now 4-11, will look to regroup and finish strong in the closing weeks.
