Omaha is coming off a 31-24 win over the Wichita Wild on April 10th. The win, the third in-a-row for the BEEF, moved the team's record to 4-2 on the young UIF season. The BEEF sit in second place in the UIF's Western Conference, half a game behind the Billings Outlaws. In the game, Omaha picked off Wichita quarterback Matt Kelly six times, which tied a UIF record set by former league member Lexington Horsemen. Quarterback James McNear threw for three touchdown passes in the victory. A three-yard touchdown run by R.J. Rollins and two field goals by Ricky Lebeda completed the scoring for the BEEF. Bloomington is coming off a 41-38 victory over the RiverCity Rage 41-38 last Saturday at the Family Arena
