A few hours before the kickoff of the United Football League Championship Game, Las Vegas coach Jim Fassel had to ask cornerback Isaiah Trufant if he thought he could play.

Trufant sat out of practice all week with two pulled groins and was listed as questionable on the injury report.

Fassel won’t soon forget Trufant’s answer.

“I’ll give you everything I got for as long as I got,” Trufant told Fassel.

Not only did Trufant play, but he also made the biggest play in the league’s short history. Trufant intercepted a pass in overtime to set up a game-winning field goal as the Las Vegas Locomotives beat the Florida Tuskers 20-17 in front of 14,801 fans at Sam Boyd Stadium.

Trufant picked off Florida’s Brooks Bollinger at the team’s 14-yard line three plays into overtime. Although Trufant fumbled after making the snag, Tony Parrish quickly recovered the ball to set Graham Gano up for the game-winning 33-yard field goal.
