BREAKDOWN
Quad City is going to be hungry coming into this game. After falling at home to the Tulsa Oilers in a shootout, the Steamwheelers are looking to get back to .500 and this opportunity against the winless Barnstormers might be just what they need. These teams always play one another tough and this should be no exception. It what is becoming a top-heavy Eastern Conference which features three winless teams, the Steamwheelers enter the week in the fifth spot and would love nothing more to improve on that position as just four teams will reach the playoffs. Judd Erickson has emerged as a solid quarterback and is completing 55 percent of his throws for 128.8 yards per game to go with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions, which ties him for first among active quarterbacks. Edward Vander comes in averaging 48.6 rushing yards per contest and is tied for first among running backs with 10 scores on the ground. He has two more through the air. Jarrod Harrington comes in at nearly 41 receiving yards per game and three touchdown catches, while Keyvan Rudd adds 36.6 yards and has a team-high four scoring grabs. KeShaun Moore’s leads the defense with 20.5 tackles and 1.5 sacks, and has 4.5 tackles for loss. Malik Duncan enters the game with 18.5 tackles, and Melik Owens has 13.5 tackles and five tackle for loss. Kyle Kaplan averages 46.0 yards per kickoff. The Steamwheelers are averaging 42.4 points per game (10th) and allowing 46.6 (13th).

BREAKDOWN
To say Iowa is desperate for a win is an understatement. The Barnstormers are not used to being winless after seven weeks, but here they are. If they are to make any noise and perhaps even a run to the playoffs, they will need to start right away. That means, simply, every game is a must win. They’ve dropped their last two games by an average of just 4.5 points, so there seems to be an increased level of play. They’ll need to bring that to Wells Fargo Arena against this Steamwheelers team. The Barnstormers play seven of their next 10 games at home, including three of their next four. Kyle King has seemed to take over the starting spot. He enters this contest with a 47 percent completion rate to go with 349 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has three touchdown rushes. Robert Washington is building himself a nice resume with a 3.3-yard rushing average and four trips to the end zone. One bright spot for the Barnstormers is receiver Quian Williams, whose 62.8 yards per game is fourth in the league, and he has seven touchdowns as well. Darren Wilson has 144 yards and two scores on the season. Jefferson Fritz leads the IFL with 34.5 tackles and Simeon Gatling adds 16. Tyrell Pearso has the defense’s lone interception this year. Gabriel Rui averages 42.4 yards per kickoff. The Barnstormers are scoring 32.8 points per game and are allowing 43.4 (seventh).
