Ohio Valley lost their first home opener in team history last Sunday as Evansville defeated the Greyhounds 36-34. Matt Kohn connected on 23 of 31 passes for 179 yards, 3 TD's and one interception. Ft. Wayne returns home after dominating Bloomington 51-28 in Week 2. The Freedom are giving up the 3rd least points per game in the UIF (25.0) and have the UIF's leading tackler, Lewis Carter, leading their impressive defense. Offensively, Rockey Harvey is at mid-season form. This season he has racked up 168 yards rushing and 4 TD's. He has also added a TD passing in Week 1. Ft. Wayne has started this season just as before with dominating performances in Week 1 and 2. Last season the Freedom finished the year with the best regular season record and took the number one seed going into the play-offs, but came up short in first round action in a loss to the then, Tennessee Valley Raptors (Rock River Raptors.)
