March 4, 2004 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I)
Georgia Force News Release
The Force returns to the Arena at Gwinnett Center to host the Las Vegas Gladiators, on Sunday, March 7th at 12:00 p.m. on NBC. The do so with high expectations amongst those on both sides of the boards.
The Gladiators lead the one game all-time series between the two clubs after capturing a 46-41 home victory last season.
The Force-Gladiators matchup will pit two of the league's highest ranked offenses. Through the first four games this season, the Force hold the AFL's number one ranked offense (3rd in rushing offense and 5th in passing offense). The Gladiators enter the contest carrying the league's third ranked offense along with the AFL's second ranked defense.
The Force will look to snap a six-game home losing streak that dates back to March 15, 2003. Leading that charge will be quarterback Leon Murray, who is coming off a 297 yard passing game in Monday night's upset over Los Angeles.
Las Vegas is currently riding a two-game winning streak with victories over Grand Rapids and New Orleans. Clint Dolezel, aquired through an offseason trade with the Rampage, has proven to be everything the Gladiators had expected.
Already this season he has surpassed two career milestones. Dolezel became only the fourth quarterback in AFL history to pass for over 25,000 yards, then one week later he completed his 500th touchdown pass.
