BREAKDOWN
One of the breaking questions in the IFL as the season reaches its midpoint is: Can anyone stop Frisco? The Fighters are enjoying the longest win streak in their three-year history (they started their 2021 inaugural season 5-0). Combining dynamic play in all three aspects of the game clearly gets results. After being eliminated during 2021 and 2022 playoffs, the Fighters have their eyes on the prize and intend to make it to the championship game. They score 57.0 points per game (first) and allow 31.8 (second).
LEADERS
Passing - TJ Edwards 83/131, 847 yds, 9 TD.
Rushing - TJ Edwards 69 rush, 309, 18 TD; Jimmy Smith 38 rush, 182 yds, 8 TD.

BREAKDOWN
Tulsa is a much different team than it was when it visited the Fighters in the franchise opener back in week 2. The Oilers picked up their first-ever win three weeks ago over the Iowa Barnstormers and have been competitive in games since. They seem to have found a bit of a groove with veteran Vincent Espinoza, who led them to that signature win. Tulsa shows its expansion stripes, but has plenty of playmakers to make games interesting into the fourth quarter. They score 37.5 points per game (11th in IFL) and allow 51.8 (14th).
LEADERS
Passing - Vincent Espinoza 41/74, 419 yds, TD, int.
Rushing - Vincent Espinoza 15 rush, 55 yds, TD.
Receiving - Joshua Crocket 17 rec, 211 yds, 9 TD; Alexis Rosario 18 rec, 151 yds, 2 TD; Montero Dubose 13 rec, 120 yds, 2 TD.
Tackles - Jordan Jones 45.5; Taylor Hawkins 22; Kevin Moore 21.5; Gibson Ziah 19.
Sacks - Gibson Ziah 3; Eric Sadler 3.
Interceptions - Taylor Hawkins 1; Kelvin Jenkins 1; Britto Tutt 1.
Kickoff Average - Jeremy Reynolds 48.7.
