The loser of this game will be in rough shape as they enter the final week of the season. Omaha can clinch a playoff spot with a victory and a Bloomington loss to Sioux Falls. The Beef and the Bandits have played two epic games so far this season with each team winning on the final possesion on the road. The Beef fell in a disappointing loss to Evansville last week in a game where the Beef scored their least amount of points in the season. Quarterback Andy Majors was without one of his favorite targets in Jason Mitchell. Majors threw for only 70 yards and two interceptions in the game. Sioux City quarterbacks have thrown the second most interceptions in the league and could be without Hosea Harris for the rest of the season. Troy Travis played a decent 2nd half last week in replacement of Harris by throwing for 135 yards and two touchdowns.
