The Morning After: DeDe for MVP

DeDe Dorsey had the Las Vegas Locos within three points of beating the Florida Tuskers. He was simply incredible on Friday evening. He averaged 11.6 yards per carry, racking up 139 yards on the ground. He was also the leading receiver for the Locos with 5 receptions for 25 yards. Quite simply, he was the best player on the field.

After the game Jim Fassel said of Dorsey, “He is so explosive and just really, really good. Marcus Shipp is great, and at first we really used DeDe to keep Marcus fresh. We will keep using him (DeDe) more and more.”

UFLA Preview: Sentinels Open at Home

The New York Sentinels, fresh off of a bye week, open at home tonight. The game will be held in Giants Stadium and will go up against the World Series – not an optimal scheduling match up to be sure. The team will be looking for their first victory as well.

Coach Cottrell seemed optimistic about his team moving forward in a media conference this week where he told the press, “I think we are starting to blend well. We are 0-2, but it’s a good brand of football and they are playing hard, these guys get after it. [...]

Florida Tuskers Run Wild Over Redwoods

ORLANDO, Fla. (October 23, 2009) – The Florida Tuskers continued their dominance of the United Football League with a decisive 34-7 victory over the California Redwoods tonight before a crowd of 12,021 at the Florida Citrus Bowl. The Tuskers moved to 3-0 on the season, while the Redwoods fell to 1-2.

As with Florida’s season opener earlier this month, the UFL’s most explosive offense started slowly this Saturday night. Defense dominated early in the game as neither team scored in the first quarter. Tuskers quarterback Brooks Bollinger didn’t have an answer for California’s aggressive pass rush, while the Florida defense held the UFL’s leading rusher Redwoods’ Cory Ross in check.
