FRISCO, TX — The best defense and best offense from Week 1 of the new United Football League season will meet on Tuesday night, when the St. Louis Battlehawks travel down to Texas to take on the Dallas Renegades.

St. Louis, which defeated the defending league champion DC Defenders 16-10 last week, will bring its smothering defense to the Lone Star state, while Dallas will look to show off its high-flying offense, which sparked the Renegades to a 36-17 win over the Houston Gamblers last week.

The Battlehawks set a new team-record with seven quarterback sacks against the Defenders, while Dallas connected on several long passing plays on its way to a team record 376 passing yards.

The best of the best will meet on Tuesday, and everyone involved is excited to set what will happen.

“We’re pumped about this opportunity,” Battlehawks head coach Ricky Proehl said. “We know Dallas has a tremendous offense. They’ve got a great quarterback and some good receivers. We know this will be a huge test. But we like how we match up and we like what we can do against them. It should be a fun show for everybody to watch.”

Players to Watch: St. Louis’ defense is led by reigning UFL Defensive Player of the Year Pita Taumoepenu, who lived in the DC backfield all game and finished with 2.5 sacks. But it wasn’t just Taumoepunu, the entire Battlehawks defense pressured DC QB Jordan Ta’amu all game long and forced him into numerous mistakes, including two interceptions and at least two other near fumbles.

Tuesday’s battle will most likely require that same level of pressure against the best quarterback from Week One.

Although its offense wasn’t perfect, St. Louis did not give the ball away and won the turnover battle by two. Quarterback Brandon Silvers did struggle to consistently move the ball, but when it came to protecting it, he didn’t fail the Battlehawks. That formula of taking care of the football was the difference.

In a game defined by defense, St. Louis still controlled the flow. They ran a total of 59 plays compared to DC’s 46 and controlled the football for 34:19.

The offense wasn’t great, but timely explosive plays helped them move the ball and ultimately win the game. Gary Jennings Jr. had the longest play of the game, turning a short gain into a 64-yard play after breaking tackles and turning upfield.

In the third quarter, Kevon Latulas turned a checkdown into a 43-yard catch and run, which ultimately set up the go-ahead touchdown to Tyler Neville. Silvers did just enough to win St. Louis the game, but he will need to step up in order to deliver win No. 2.

Dallas absolutely dominated Houston in their season opener. Austin Reed broke the UFL single-game regular season passing record with an astonishing 376 yards, leading Dallas to a 36-17 victory.

Reed was the quarterback of the week, and quite frankly it wasn’t close. His day started fast when he connected with Tyler Vaughns for 58 yards on his very first throw, and he continued to hit on massive chunk plays all afternoon. He tossed three touchdowns and finished with an impressive 120 passer rating.

Vaughns totaled 144 yards on seven receptions, while Greg Ward added three catches for 93 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown.

The Renegades had total offensive control of the game. They finished with a league-best 427 total yards compared to Houston’s 284 and ran 68 plays. They won both the efficiency and volume battle, a rare combination for Rick Neuheisel’s offense. If that trend continues, Dallas will be in a strong position Tuesday night.

Up Next: It will be a short week for the Battlehawks, who will be back on the field on Sunday, April 12, when they’ll host the Birmingham Stallions in another game at The Dome at America’s Center.

Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on ABC.
