The 2010 Sacramento Mountain Lions season was the second season for the Sacramento Mountain Lions and the first since relocating from the San Francisco Bay Area. The team finished with a 4–4 record and third in the league.
Offseason[]
After unusually poor attendance at the California Redwoods' 2009 home games (the team was the only one to not have a single game with an attendance of over 10,000 fans), the Redwoods announced they would be leaving AT&T Park in San Francisco for either San Jose, California or Sacramento, California. Sacramento (and Hornet Stadium) was ultimately chosen, and the team was renamed the "Sacramento Mountain Lions" in a fan contest.

Week 1: at Hartford Colonials[]

Week 2: vs. Florida Tuskers[]
|
Over 20,000 Sacramento fans filed into Hornet Stadium to watch the Mountain Lions overcome a ten-point fourth quarter defecit to become the first team to beat the Florida Tuskers in the regular season, (snapping a seven-game win streak for Florida) 24-20. Daunte Culpepper completed 26 of 42 passes for 374 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. This included the 33-yard go-ahead touchdown pass with thirty-one seconds left to play. Brooks Bollinger threw for his sixth career 300-yard game in the UFL with 328, completing 23 of 41 yards for a touchdown and an interception. The win gave the Mountain Lions (1-1) their first win since relocating to Sacramento and the loss gives Florida (1-1) their first ever even .500 record. [2]
Week 3: at Omaha Nighthawks[]
Week 5: vs. Las Vegas Locomotives[]
Week 6: at Florida Tuskers[]
Week 7: vs. Hartford Colonials[]
|
The thirty-four combined points at halftime was the most scored in the first thirty minutes in a game this season, and the Colonials also gave up the league's first ever punt return for a touchdown. But Hartford overcame an early 14-0 deficit to defeat the Sacramento Mountain Lions, 27-26 in front of a crowd of over 13,000 at Hornet Stadium. After missing a potential game winning field goal against Las Vegas the previous week, plus 34 and 22-yard field goals earlier in the game, Taylor Mehlhaff redeemed himself by nailing a 23-yarder as time expired to beat the Mountain Lions for only their second win of the season. (both coming against Sacramento)
Week 8: at Las Vegas Locomotives[]
|
Sacramento attempted to avenge a 26-3 home loss earlier in the season to Las Vegas and did so with a 27-24 win on the road at Sam Boyd. The Mountain Lions survived a scare after the Locos tied the game at 24 in the fourth quarter, after Sacramento lead 21-0 in the second. Chase Clement was stellar in his debut for the Locos, throwing a touchdown and running for two in Las Vegas's comeback attempt that came up just a bit short. The Mountain Lions are the only team not named Florida to defeat the Locos.
