Former Knights quarterback Israel warms up with one AFL team, plays for another

Former UCF quarterback Kyle Israel prepared to play in the Orlando Predators' home opener Friday night for the hometown Predators in the event the league's labor issues were not resolved and replacement players were used. As it turned out, the issues were not ironed out, but not all of the two team's original rosters were asked to stay away from the Amway Center, and Israel ended up being "drafted" as a replacement player for the visiting Pittsburgh Power.

"It's kind of surreal to walk into the Predators' locker room and end up on the Power," Israel told the Orlando Sentinel after the game.

The Predators lost the contest, 40-26.
