Houston Unveils Kelly Gun Offense (1984 Preview)
by: Gail Yorke, Houston Chronicle
the 1984 USFL season looms and with it, excitement grips Houston. Our Gamblers made a huge splash in the offseason, getting University of Miami quarterback Jim Kelly to lead their offense. Coach Jack Pardee promises to utilize the young man to the fullest of his potential. The offense already comes with a snazzy nickname, “The Kelly Gun.”
Six new teams come to play in 1984. At least one of them came to win. With Kelly running the Jack Pardee offense, they need just enough defense to allow Kelly and company to outscore their opponents. Call it wishful thinking, but there’s no reason this team can’t compete for a championship today and for the next few years.
