San Antonio Brahmas vs Arlington Renegades Live Score
Brahmas Defense vs. Renegades Offense:
The Brahmas’ defense has been their calling card. Led by tackling machine Jordan Mosley and sack specialist Wyatt Ray, they’ve stifled opposing offenses, allowing a league-low 17.5 points per game. They’ll need to be at their best against Arlington’s aerial assault, spearheaded by quarterback Luis Perez, who boasts the most passing yards in the UFL.
Key Matchup: Jontre Kirklin vs. Arlington Secondary
Jontre Kirklin, the Brahmas’ leading receiver, will be a focal point. If he can exploit potential weaknesses in the Renegades secondary, quarterback Chase Garbers could have a big day. Garbers hasn’t quite reached Perez’s heights, but his efficiency and 7 touchdowns are impressive.
Renegades Rush Offense vs. Brahmas Run Defense:
While Perez leads the charge, the Renegades’ ground game hasn’t been as productive. De’Veon Smith is a capable back, but the Brahmas’ stout run defense, anchored by solid tackling and disruptive line play, could limit his effectiveness.

X-Factor: John Lovett
If the Brahmas can establish a semblance of a running game with John Lovett, it could take pressure off Garbers and open up play-action opportunities. The Renegades haven’t been particularly strong against the run, allowing over 95 yards per game on the ground.
Prediction:
This is a close matchup. The Brahmas’ defense has the potential to shut down the Renegades’ high-flying offense. However, Perez’s experience and the Brahmas’ struggles on offense make this a tough call. Look for a defensive battle with the Brahmas edging out a narrow victory at home.
Final Score: San Antonio Brahmas 20, Arlington Renegades 17
