Well, what's left of them anyway.
The Knights' roster is about "10 percent" of what it was during the first three weeks of the season and before the American Indoor Football Association team announced it would no longer play any home games at the Golden Spike Arena.
"We have a lot of local guys now," said Knights coach Doug Coleman. "We still have seven guys from out of state."
Among the locals is former Weber State standout Adrian Conway. Jeremy Glover, the Knights' starting QB the first three games, elected to remain.
"We just want to play a game," Coleman said. "The reason we're keeping this thing going is to give players some game film and give them a chance to get to the next level."
Ogden's two canceled home games have been counted as losses on the AIFA's official web site, and the team's official record apparently is now 0-5. AIFA co-owner Michael Mink did not return phone calls Thursday.
Wyoming (5-0) current leads the AIFA West with a 5-0 mark. The well-established Cavalry also has had to deal with game logistics when its game in Alaska had to be postponed.
After originally blaming Alaska Airlines for "releasing the reservations" that prevented Wyoming Cavalry from traveling to Wasilla, Ala., for an April 10 game, it was learned that no one had paid for the tickets and the Arctic Predators backtracked and called it "a clerical error."
