2005 Rocky Mountain Football League season

2005 Season
An unprecedented 8 new teams were added to the RMFL in 2005. A return of the 2000 champion, Wasatch Wildcats, as well as the Missoula Raptors, Idaho Matadors, Snake River Sabercats, Brigham City Devil Dogs, Morgan Marauders, Kamas Valley Muddogs and the Colorado Scorpions. With an ever growing field, the question of continued dominance by the Ogden areas aging Rhino-Raiders became a bigger question mark than ever before. With area rival, Wasatch on the Rhino-Raider schedule as well as championship game runner-up, Idaho Falls, the Rhinos would have their toughest road to the RMFL championship ever... and did. The Rhinos remained undefeated through the regular season, including close wins over lower echelon teams like the Vipers and Kamas Valley Muddogs and a hard fought regular season win over the Wasatch Wildcats. The Rhinos had to face the Wildcats again in the playoffs before facing their biggest Rocky Mountain test ever, the Madison Lionz in the RMFL Championship game. The Lionz were more than a match, amassing more total yards and controlling much of the championship game. The Lionz even seemed on their way to victory when a long touchdown run by Nate Rydalch was "dropped" near the goal line and the Rhinos recovered the ball...and the game; holding on for a 24-19 victory. Running back, Rashad Kennedy, was the story for the Rhino offense, rushing for 130 yards, two touchdowns and the game MVP award. With talks of a AAA/AA split for the 2006 season, the off-season promised to be eventful and significant to the overall future of the league.
