FLORIDA FIRECATS (0-2) AT ALBANY FIREBIRDS (0-2)

Florida, a team that has won at least 10 games for seven straight seasons, has stumbled a bit to start the 2009 season, opening 0-2 (both losses to South Division rival South Georgia). The Firecats haven’t begun a season with two consecutive defeats since 2001, the team’s very first af2 season. That year the squad lost its first three games, finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs.
