BREAKDOWN
Iowa would love nothing more than to forget its dismal, injury ridden 2023 season. The Barnstormers finished with just three wins last year with a rotation of quarterbacks stepping in due to a season-ending, opening-day injury to quarterback Darius-James Peterson. The signal caller had led the team to the 2022 playoffs and was poised to do the same last year prior to going down. Peterson is back this year and looking to do the same with a roster which includes several newcomers. Taeylor Porter and Robert Washington will provide the ground attack. In the passing game, Deion McShane, Quain Williams and Darren Wilson will serve as Peterson's top targets. The defense is young, but will be led by defensive back Tyrell Pearson who continuously ranks among the IFL leaders in tackles and interceptions. Also on the roster is fellow defensive back Simon Gatling who should provide some playmaking abilities to the squad, and linebacker Ian McBurrough is a talented defender in his own right.
Roster information is compiled by SCtoC staff, based on all available and verifiable information. The IFL does not list its official transactions for the 2024 season. The above rosters are subject to change and is presented here merely as a basic guide for following the game. Statistical leaders list only active players as of the compilation of this preview.

BREAKDOWN
For 40 minutes in their first game last week, Green Bay looked good in all three facets of their game against the Massachusetts Pirates. Then, the bottom fell out as the Blizzard allowed 22 unanswered points in a four-point loss to the Pirates. Suffice to say, they will hope to put together a full 60--minutes against their rival Barnstormers to pick up their first win of the season. Max Meylor was efficient, especially in the first half, for the offense. He completed 67 percent of his passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns. He threw one interception which came late during comeback mode. EJ Burgess is the main option at running back, but only had five carries compared to Meylor's 12. Lowell Patron and Harry Ballard III are strong options at receiver in the Blizzard offense. Cynte Williams led the team in tackles in week 1, and veteran Ravarius Rivers had some nice moments on defense as he was in on eight tackles. Shawn Steele II is a ball hawk who came away with the defense's first pick of the year.
