Recap

Two long Fumble Recovery Returns were the highlight of this game as the Las Vegas Outlaws improved to 2-0 and the Memphis Maniax dropped to 1-1. Jason Kaiser returned one 80 yards to give Las Vegas a 9-3 lead early in the second quarter after a bad handoff by Beau Morgan. The Outlaws and Maniax had traded Field Goals in the first quarter.

1994 Heisman Trophy-winner Rashaan Salaam appeared to have given Memphis an equalizing touchdown, with an 8-yard run, however, he fumbled at the goalline and Kurt Gouveia picked up the ball and returned it the length of the field. Chrys Chukwuma added a nine-yard touchdown in the third quarter, before Paul McCallum scored two more Field Goals bringing his total for the game to three.
