LOCOS CLINCH BERTH IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The reigning champion Las Vegas Locos have clinched a return to the United Football League Championship Game as a

result of Week 7 UFL games played on Thursday and Saturday. The other four UFL teams remain alive in the race for the

right to face Las Vegas in the 2010 UFL Championship Game to be played on Saturday, November 27 in Omaha, NE. TheLocos defeated the Omaha Nighthawks 24-10 on the road on October 28 to move to 5-1 atop the standings and the brink of 

a return to the Championship Game. Then on Saturday night, a dramatic last second field goal by Hartford Colonials kicker

Taylor Mehlhaff earned a 27-26 win over the Sacramento Mountain Lions to ensure the Locos mathematically qualified for

the post season. Only the Omaha Nighthawks or Florida Tuskers can now match the five wins recorded by Las Vegas, but

because those two teams play each other twice in the remaining three weeks of the UFL season, either a sweep or a split

series will mean only one and not both can challenge the Locos’ five wins, rendering potential tiebreakers irrelevant.

LOCOS AWAIT CHAMPIONSHIP OPPONENT

While the Locos have clinched their spot in the Championship Game, the other four teams in the league face three weeks of 

“playoff games”. Only one win separates the Mountain Lions and Colonials from the second place Nighthawks, and every

game counts. The Omaha Nighthawks (3-2) have destiny in their own hands with three games to play and two victories

needed to qualify. The Florida Tuskers (2-3) also control their own destiny, but with three wins required to guarantee

setting up a repeat of the 2009 Championship Game. The Hartford Colonials (2-4) and Sacramento Mountain Lions (2-4)

must seek to force a 4-4 tie for second place and also need help from the Tuskers and Nighthawks before the tiebreaker

procedure comes into play. Tiebreaker scenarios that have been suggested by fans voting at Fanhouse.com and are

currently being considered by the UFL Competitions Committee will help determine which of the other four UFL teams

advance to the big show.

SAILING ALONG

Marcel Shipp scored his fourth rushing touchdown in as many games when he ran for a score in the Locos’ 24-10 win over

the Omaha Nighthawks Thursday. He took a handoff from Drew Willy with 7:43 left in the game and scored from three

yards out to give the Locos a 17-10 lead at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.

HOBBS NAMED DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

For the fifth time this season a Locos defensive player earned league honors for his outstanding play. Linebacker Brandon

Moore received the Defensive Player of the Week award in Week 1 after recording 10 total tackles and one sack. Defensive

end Eric Henderson earned league accolades for his effort in the Locos’ Week 3 victory over the Florida Tuskers. Henderson

finished the game with two sacks for 18 yards and two solo tackles. Cornerback Isaiah Trufant gave the Locos their first lead

in the team’s Week 4 victory over the Omaha Nighthawks, when he intercepted a Jeff Garcia pass and returned it 27 yards

for a touchdown with 3:18 left in the second quarter. Trufant added a second interception later in the game that stalled a

promising Nighthawks’ drive and received league honors. Safety Lewis Baker forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and

caught an interception in the Locos’ 26-3 victory over the Sacramento Mountain Lions, in which the Las Vegas forced a total

of six turnovers. Baker was named UFL Defensive Player of Week 5. Cornerback Kevin Hobbs is the latest Locomotive to win

the award after breaking up three passes, intercepting Garcia once and adding 2.5 tackles in Las Vegas 24-10 Week 7 victory

over the Nighthawks. Hobbs joined the Locos on October 10, and has made an immediate impact. In his first three UFL

contests, Hobbs has recorded six total tackles, a half-tackle for a loss, an interception and four pass breakups.

FASSEL RETURNS FOR SECOND SEASON

After winning the inaugural UFL championship with the Las Vegas Locos in 2009, head coach Jim Fassel returns for a second

year with the team. Under his guidance, the Locos finished with a 5-2 record in the Premiere season and defeated the

Florida Tuskers 20-17 in the championship game. As head coach of the New York Giants, Fassel resurrected the career of 

quarterback Kerry Collins and received acclaim for his playoff guarantee in the 2000 season, during which he led the Giants

to an improbable Super Bowl appearance. Fassel has a long record of offensive successes and has tutored other prominent

quarterbacks including Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, Jeff Hoestetler and John Elway. Prior to becoming the Giants head

coach, Fassel was the team’s offensive coordinator and served in the same capacity with the Arizona Cardinals, Denver
