It looks as though Fort Wayne must win the rest of their regular season games to have a shot at the playoffs. The Freedom end the season with four games against teams in the top five of the UIF standings. Rocky Harvey was back to his old tricks last week as he tallied 72 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the Freedom's loss to Evansville. With Harvey back, there is reason to believe that Fort Wayne could run the table. Rock River took a step back last week in their quest to grab one of the top two seeds in the playoffs. The Raptors are two games behind Lexington with four to play, so they will need to win-out and get some help along the way. The Raptors have created the second least amount of turnovers in the league with 16 and have given up the least amount of turnovers with 10. The Raptors have scored the second most touchdowns in the UIF with 64 and are averaging 46.4 points per game.
