The United Football League announced today that Motorola will be one of the League’s “Premiere” Season Foundation Partners and the UFL’s exclusive communication device provider.

Overlooked by the NFL, former Jets defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell gets his chance to be head coach in the UFL.

Rick Mueller, vice president and general manager of all four UFL franchises, brings years of NFL experience to the table as the UFL opens its inaugural season on Oct. 8. He spent eight years with the New Orleans Saints, with whom he was the vice president of player personnel.

Tonight at the Citrus Bowl in downtown Orlando, fans had a chance to get their first glimpse of the United Football League.  The teams still have a ways to go before the season begins in two weeks, but tonight was proof that the UFL is much more than critics expected.  The Tuskers and the Sentinels played hard-hitting, quality football, giving the small crowd plenty to cheer about.

The night started with the punt teams taking turns.  Todd Sauerbrun and the Tuskers punted first.  Sauerbrun still has the strong leg that made him a three-time Pro Bowl punter.  The Sentinels punter didn't have as much leg or accuracy.  Because this was a controlled scrimmage, not most of the punts were not returned.  If the punt was returned, the coverage team usually stopped after first contact.  The kickoff teams used the same set-up.
