2010 was the second of four seasons for the United Football League. There were some changes prior to the 2010 season. The New York Sentinels moved to Hartford, Connecticut to become the Hartford Colonials, the California Redwoods moved to Sacramento to become the Sacramento Mountain Lions, and the league added a fifth team, the Omaha Nighthawks. The regular season ran from September 18 to November 20 and featured five teams playing eight games each (twice against each of the other teams) over a 10-week span. The 2010 season was a relatively competitive one as no team won more than five games, and no team lost more than five. The Las Vegas Locomotives
and the Florida Tuskers finished the season tied at 5-3, and qualified for the 2010 UFL Championship Game. The game was staged at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday, November 27, 2010, and saw the Las Vegas Locomotives repeat as league champions, defeating the Florida Tuskers by a 23–20 score. The game started on a furious pace, with Florida taking the ball first and going on a 12-play, 84-yard scoring drive that ended with Tuskers quarterback Chris Greisen dodging a Las Vegas blitz for a five-yard touchdown run that gave the Tuskers a 7–0 lead. On the second play of the ensuing drive, Locos quarterback Chase Clement connected with a
wide-open Andrae Thurman for a 75-yard touchdown pass, the longest Locos offensive play of the year, to tie the game at 7–7. The Tuskers then went on another lengthy scoring drive, ending with a 22-yard field goal by Nick Novak to give the Tuskers a 10–7 lead with 3:13 left in the first quarter. The pace of the game would then start to slow down with no scoring until 5:56 remained in the second quarter when Clement executed a play-action fake and found another wide-open receiver, tight end George Wrighster, from 30 yards out for a 14–10 Locos lead. In the third quarter, the Tuskers took the ball down the field for another scoring drive, ending with a two-yard scramble for a touchdown by Greisen, his second scoring run of the day, to give Florida a 17–14 lead. The Locos would retake the lead on the next drive, a five-play, 61-yard march ending with two plays by running back Hakim Hill, a 13-yard reception immediately followed by a 37-yard run down the right sidelines that gave the Locos a 21–17 lead with 5:53 left in the third quarter. Florida defensive back Keiwan Ratliff's interception, the only turnover of the game, turned into a Tuskers offensive drive that led them to the Las Vegas 4-yard line and resulted in a 21-yard field goal by Nick Novak that drew Florida to within 21–20 of Las Vegas with 7:48 left in regulation. A three-and-out by the Locos gave the Tuskers the ball back, but on first-and-10 at their own 14, a low shotgun snap got past Greisen, who recovered in his end zone only to be sacked by Josh Cooper for a Las Vegas safety and a final 23–20 score. Locomotives quarterback Chase Clement was awarded the UFL Championship Game's Most Valuable Player award after the game. Clement went 16-for-25 for 237 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, and added 30 yards on five carries.
