LAST TIME THEY MET

Las Vegas Locomotives 22, Omaha Nighthawks 10
 
In the first matchup in Week 4 at Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas bested Omaha, 22-10. The Nighthawks
were ahead 10-3 early in the second quarter, but the Locos scored the game’s final 19 points to go on to the 
 
win. Las Vegas running back DeDe Dorsey was the difference maker, accounting for 148 combined rushing
and receiving yards.
 
The game was one where the defenses stood tallest. Both teams combined for just 523 yards and two
touchdowns on offense, and they combined for four turnovers. Las Vegas cornerback Isaiah Trufant tied a
league record with two interceptions, including one for a touchdown. Omaha linebacker Patrick Thomas had 12
total tackles and a tackle for loss.  
In the 19-14 win over the Hartford Colonials on Oct. 16, the Nighthawks went over 100 yards rushing as a team

for the first time this season, totaling 101 yards on 29 attempts. Ahman Green led the way with a season-high
76 yards on 16 carries. Maurice Clarett added 10 yards  to the cause.

BALLHAWKS
 
After recording just one interception in their first three games of the season, the Nighthawks’ defense piled it on 
against Hartford with three interceptions. Clinton Hart and Calvin Lowry had interception returns of 23 and 19

HAPPY TRAILS  
For the third time in four games, the Nighthawks entered the locker room at halftime trailing. Hartford held a 14-
 
7 lead at the break, but the Nighthawks rallied in the second half with 12 unanswered points. In its three wins
this season, Omaha has outscored its opponents 37-16 in the second half.

Hart recorded a game-high nine tackles, including one tackle for a two-yard loss. Hart also made his first
interception of the season, returning a Josh McCown pass

KEY MATCHUP NO. 1: Omaha quarterback Jeff Garcia vs. Las Vegas cornerback Isaiah Trufant
Trufant had those two interceptions in the first meeting, and has a league-high four so far this season. Garcia
has thrown just four interceptions in four games so far   this season - just slightly more than the number of
fourth-quarter game-winning touchdown passes he’s tossed in 2010 (three).

KEY MATCHUP NO. 2: Las Vegas running back DeDe  Dorsey vs. Omaha linebacker Patrick Thomas
In the Week 6 overtime victory at home vs. Hartford, Dorsey nearly broke his own UFL single-game rushing
 
record, gaining 132 yards and adding a touchdown on just 20 carries. Thomas has 21 total tackles in the last
two games from his linebacker position.
