well pump up the Iso as much as you can and and make sure your glass is as open as it can be. Shoot in raw so you can fix it in case of bad lighing..(WB) chimp a little if your not getting good shots go to time prority and lighten up the darker pictures.

You will need better gear for night football - there's no way around that. Good settings would be about ISO 1600, f/2.8, fastest shutter you can get (maybe 320-400). With the 75-300, your shutter speed will be about 1/125 or lower, with a dropoff in sharpness at the higher focal lengths.
