THE GAME

The Locos travel to Hartford for their last regular season game before the

Championship in Omaha. While the outcome of the matchup against the

Colonials won’t have any effect on who will make it to the Championship Game, it

is a very important contest for head coach Jim Fassel’s team. Las Vegas is looking

to secure the top spot after the regular season with a win against Hartford. The

Locos are also trying to build some momentum before heading to Omaha for thetitle game. “I want us to play good, sound, fundamental football,” Fassel said. “I

don’t want us to lose the last two games of the regular season.” The Locos are

coming off a bye week after losing 27-24 to the Sacramento Mountain Lions their

last time out. Hartford is coming off a 41-7 loss against the Florida Tuskers and is

eliminated from Championship Game contention. Kickoff time at Rentschler Field

is 12:30 p.m. (PST). The game will be broadcast nationally on VERSUS. The Locos

will also broadcast the game on FOX Sports Radio 920 (KBAD). Mitch Moss will

call the play-by-play and Douglas Marsh will provide the color commentary.

THE SERIES

The teams face each other for the fourth time. The Colonials originated as the

New York Sentinels in the 2009 UFL Premiere Season and played their home

games in three different New York area stadiums including Rentschler Field. Theymoved to Hartford before the 2010 campaign and are playing all of their games at

Rentschler Field. The Locos hold a 3-0 lead in the all-time series. The Locos won

both games last year decisively. Jim Fassel’s team beat the Sentinels 41-10 in the

first matchup at James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y. on November 4,

2009. The Locos’ won the second game 41-7 in front of 13,306 fans at Sam Boyd

Stadium on November 20, 2009. The Colonials are a completely revamped team

and their 2-5 record in the 2010 season doesn’t do their strong play justice. They

have suffered several last minute defeats including a 24-21 overtime loss to the

Locos at Sam Boyd Stadium on October 23.

LAST TIME THEY PLAYED

Kicker Steve Hauschka connected on a 53-yard field goal with 17 seconds

remaining in overtime to send the Las Vegas Locos to a thrilling 24-21 victory over

the Hartford Colonials on Saturday afternoon at Sam Boyd Stadium. The game

marked the first regular-season contest to go to overtime in UFL history. In an

exciting climax, Hartford’s Taylor Mehlhaff missed wide right on a 38-yard field

goal attempt with five minutes left in overtime as a strong wind played its part.

Both teams had failed to score on their opening possessions of the extra period.



LOCOS WILL WATCH TUSKERS BATTLE NIGHTHAWKS IN WIN-OR-GO-HOME CONTEST

One day before their final regular season game of the 2010 campaign, the Las Vegas Locos will watch the Florida Tuskers

battle the Omaha Nighthawks in a win-or-go-home scenario. The Tuskers have to beat the Nighthawks to advance to the

title game. A Nighthawks win would lead to a three-way tie between Florida, Omaha and the Sacramento Mountain Lionsafter 10 weeks of exciting football. The first head to head tiebreaker taking into account all games between the three teams

would see Sacramento emerge victorious. The Mountain Lions would be 3-1 within the group, the Nighthawks 2-2 and the

Tuskers 1-3.

CLEMENT MAKES MOST OF OPPORTUNITY

Chase Clement got a chance to show head coach Jim Fassel and the Locos’ fans what he can do, when he entered the game

for the second half of the Locos’ loss to the Mountain Lions. The former Rice University standout took over with his team

down 21-3 and led a Locos’ rally that tied the game at 21 with just over four minutes to play. Clement’s first professional

pass went for 15 yards and a touchdown to wide receiver Tab Perry. The quarterback also ran for two scores, a 7 yard

scramble at the beginning of the fourth quarter and a 10 yard scamper to tie the game with 4:07 left on the clock. He

became the first UFL quarterback to score two rushing touchdowns in a game. “(Chase Clement) came in and made a huge

difference,” Fassel said in the post-game press conference. “He’s an assertive young man and he knows what he wants to

do. I thought he played an excellent second half.”

LOCOS’ RALLY FALLS SHORT

In the Locos’ final home game of the season, Sacramento built a 21-0 lead in the first half, but Las Vegas charged back after

Locomotives coach Jim Fassel inserted backup quarterback Chase Clement in place of starter Drew Willy. Clement began

the season as the third-string quarterback behind now-injured starter Tim Rattay and Willy. Clement ran for a pair of

second-half touchdowns – becoming the first quarterback in UFL history to do so – but Las Vegas ultimately dropped its

final home contest of the season. Clement finished the content completing 8 of 12 attempts for 101 yards and a

touchdown, while rushing for two scores. "That crowd was awesome," said Locos head coach Jim Fassel of the 13,622

season-high attendance at Sam Boyd Stadium. "They were into the game and they were behind us and I wish we would

have won it for them. It means a whole lot that that many people came out here to support us."

UFL AND CONAGRA FOODS CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILD HUNGER

ConAgra Foods, the United Football League and the Omaha Nighthawks continue to help in the fight against child hunger

having teamed up in an extensive initiative. At this Friday night’s Nighthawks regular-season finale against the Florida

Tuskers, a food drive will feature cash collection stations manned by ConAgra Foods volunteers, who will also solicit

donations from tailgaters before the game. In addition, there will be an in-stadium information booth for “Shine the Light

on Hunger,” and opportunities for fans to purchase branded merchandise, with proceeds from the sale of the items again

benefiting the cause. The game kicks off at 7.30pm CDT at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, NE

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

Broncos and Oakland Raiders. Fassel was also the offensive coordinator to the Baltimore Ravens for the 2004 and 2005

seasons. He began his coaching career as an offensive coordinator at the University of Utah and Stanford University before

being elevated to head coach at Utah. Fassel took a break from coaching when he was hired as color commentator on NFL

Sunday Night Game broadcasts for the Westwood One Radio Network and also served as a color analyst on ESPN. The

recipient of numerous awards including the 2000 NFL Coach of the Year by the Sporting News, NJ Sports Writers Association

and the Victor Awards Pro Football Coach of the Year, Fassel has also been honored for his work off of the field. He



received the Catholic Big Brothers of the Year Award (1998), the Fresh Air Fund Man of the Year (1999) and the Long Beach

State University Distinguished Alumnus Award (2001).

SOONER THE BETTER

With the addition of linebacker Teddy Lehman, the Las Vegas Locos now have five players on their roster that played

college for the Oklahoma Sooners. Lehman was with the Sooners from 2000-2003 and was named Big 12 Defensive Player

of the Year in his senior season. The other Locos that played for Oklahoma include defensive back Lewis Baker, linebacker

Brandon Moore and offensive linemen Brandon Braxton and Brandon Walker. Moore and Lehman joined forces during

their time at Oklahoma and were part of a strong linebacker unit.

EXPERIENCED LINEBACKING CORPS LEADS THE WAY FOR HUNGRY LOCOS DEFENSE

The Locos defense is led by an experienced linebacker unit in the 2010 season. The three initially projected starting

linebackers combine for 16 years of NFL experience and Teddy Lehman adds five more years to the mix. Lehman and

Brandon Moore anchored the Locos defense last year and this year Las Vegas adds another six years of NFL experience with

Las Vegas native Ed Hartwell. Former Kansas City Chief and Cleveland Brown Kris Griffin is projected to start alongside

Hartwell and Moore, and the addition of Lehman gives the Locos a lot of depth at the position.

PLAYER NFL YEARS GAMES TOT-SOLO SACK FF INT

Brandon Moore 6 (49ers) 88 244-176 15 5 1

Ed Hartwell 6 (Ravens, Falcons) 77 400-277 7 5 1

Teddy Lehman 5 (Lions, Bills) 45 150-105 1 2 2

Kris Griffin 4 (Chiefs, Browns) 46 40-34 0 0 0

LOCOS ROSTER FEATURES NFL EXPERIENCE

The Locos feature 25 players that have NFL experience. The team includes eight players that were drafted by NFL teams,

with Teddy Lehman being the highest draft pick. He was picked up by the Detroit Lions as the 37 th overall selection in the2004 NFL draft. The Locos players average 3.8 years of NFL experience. CONSISTENCY IS KEY

With the addition of DeDe Dorsey, the Las Vegas Locos are returning 30 players from the 2009 championship-winning

campaign. The returners include 16 players that recorded at least one start last season.
