ANALYSIS
The Bucks embark on their third season, and first in the IFL, when they visit central Nebraska to take on a revamped Danger squad. Bismarck finished 5-7 in each of their previous two seasons in Champions Indoor Football, being eliminated in the conference semifinals in both seasons. Rod Miller is at the helm for the Bucks after serving as associate head coach and defensive coordinator for the CIF's Omaha Beef. He also has worked stints as an assistant coach with the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul and as a head coach in the China Arena Football League. Despite making the playoffs last season, the Danger just squeaked in while trying to rebuild the offense all season long. Pig Brown, the co-interim head coach, was promoted to the permanent position immediately following the regular season. Former Danger Stalwarts Jameel Sewell and Xzavie Jackson had joined the staff as assistant coaches.
The Bucks possess a promising roster, including wide receiver Mike Tatum. As a receiver and kick returner, his 6.976 all-purpose yards are tops for IFL career leaders. Tatum comes over from the Sioux Falls Storm, where the four-time United Bowl champion caught 10 touchdown passes in 2018. John Gibbs, a 6'6" product of Alcorn St. University, led the Omaha Beef in passing yards with 886, as well as rushing yards and rushing touchdowns with 213 and 12, respectively. Brandynn Clark is a wide receiver who comes over from the Beef, as well as the Storm. Clark had one of the more acrobatic touchdown receptions last season. He also recorded six touchdown catches in 2018 for the Beef. Defensive back Antwan Smith returns to the Bucks after leading the team in tackles with 82, and four fumble recoveries, in 2018. He also broke up a trio of passes and added two interceptions.
Following an injury to Damien Flemming in game three last season, the Danger were never able to find themselves a consistent option at quarterback. Enter rookie Tommy Armstrong, perhaps one of the most accomplished QBs to come out of the storied program at the University of Nebraska. He set records for career passing yards and touchdown passes with 8,871 and 67, respectively, as a Cornhusker. Armstrong will have a pair of talented receivers in Troy Evans and Gregory Dent, Jr. Evans' 6.346 all-purpose yards put him fifth all-time in the IFL. He returns to the Danger after having played for them most recently in 2015. Dent was a positive noted for the Danger last season, accumulating 54 catches for 531 yards and 10 scores last season. Former Alabama St. defensive back Najee Bright, who recorded 54 tackles in 2018, also had six pass break ups for the team.
NOTE: Players mentioned in the initial analysis is based on the teams' respective training camp rosters and may not be on the opening day rosters.
