(Florida):
The good news: The Redwoods are a force to be reckoned with.
The bad news: The Force was with the Tuskers Thursday.
The game started off well, looking like a 12-round, Ali-Frazier fight.  ‘
The Tuskers had scored 35 and 29 points in their first two games, and it looked like they had a fight on their hands in Game 3.
The California Redwoods turned their O and their D up a notch against the undefeated and high-scoring Florida Tuskers, holding them scoreless in the first quarter.  No team had done that since …

The California Redwoods travel to face the UFL’s best team, the Florida Tuskers.  A win ties the Redwoods atop the standings, while a loss muddies up the playoff picture.
Here is what Coach Green said about the 2-0 Tuskers.

(San Francisco): 20 years ago, a 7.0 earthquake hit the Bay area.  This week, Coach Dennis Green and the California Redwoods shook up the roster, switching out players faster than a nervous Fantasy Football team owner. 8 new people were added to the roster.
They mixed it up further by benching starting QB Shane Boyd, and going with Mike McMahon.  And if that wasn’t enough, McMahon showed the New York Sentinels every play except the Fumblerooski.
The result?  The Redwoods went to 1-1 in the United Football League, putting them in back …

Every game in the UFL creates a record.  Tonight’s game is no exception.
It is the first California-New York game.
It is the first game featuring two 0-1 teams.
Can our Redwoods bounce back from last week’s loss, or will we start a Detroit Lions-like plummet to the cellar?
Stay tuned.
