Breakdown
BARNSTORMERS
Though just four games have been played, Iowa is in desperate win-now mode. The Barnstormers lost three on the road, then dropped their home opener last week to the expansion Tulsa Oilers. They are averaging 35.0 points per game (13th in the IFL) and allowing 52.0 (most). Veteran indoor quarterback Jonathan Bane took over last week and led the team to a season-high 48 points. He went six of 18 for 74 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. Antonio Wimbush came back from injury in a big way, rushing for 82 yards off 16 carries and a score. Laquvionte Gonzalez leads the receiving corps with 19 catches for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Caleb Smith has 82 yards and a team-high six scoring grabs. The defense is led by Ian McBorrough's 14 tackles, while Tyrell Pearson and Eric Johnson each have 11 tackles and an interception. Gabriel Rui is among the better kickers in the IFL with a 50.2-yard kickoff average.
PIRATES
Massachusetts is looking to bounce back after dropping two straight on the road. The Pirates are likely chomping at the bit to see the winless Barnstormers come to town, but that could turn this contest into a bit of a trap game. They average 49.3 yards per game (third in the IFL) and allow 49.3 (11th). With Alejandro Bennifield still sidelined due to injury, Anthony Russo should get the start. He is completing 56 percent of his throws for 454 yards with nine touchdowns and two picks. Jimmie Robinson powers the ground game with his 38 rushes for 184 yards and eight touchdowns. Thomas Owens leads the team with 206 receiving yards, while Darren Carrington II adds 184, They have five and three scores, respectively. Brendon White and Momoudu Mbye come in with 30 and 20 tackles, respectively. Aarion Maxey-Penton adds 14.5 tackles and Ezekiel Rose has two sacks. Josh Gable comes into the game averaging 46.1yards per kickoff.
