After an 0-3 start, the Sioux City Bandits did their job last week and got a win to put them in the UIF Playoffs. The Bandits get started on their way back to the United Bowl by playing Rock River for the first time this season. Quarterback Antoine Taylor has been the best of a platoon of players to take snaps for the Bandits this season. Taylor came back from injury to start last week and threw three touchdown passes in the victory. The Bandits defense has paced them all year. Sioux City's defense set a UIF record for lowest amount of yards allowed in a season. The Bandits allowed 2611 yards this season compared to the Ohio Valley Greyhounds record of 2703 which was set last year. Rock River's offense has been one of the best in the league all year. The Raptors are scoring 44.6 points per game, which ranks third in the UIF. With a win, Rock River will take on Lexington next week, while Sioux City will travel to Sioux Falls to take on the Storm.
