This game marks the second meeting this season between the West Division rivals. Sioux Falls won the earlier battle 28-6 in Sioux Falls. The Storm recovered after a stuggish first-half to defeat Omaha last week. The comeback was fueled by quarterback Terrance Bryant who threw for four touchdowns and no interceptions in the victory. Defensively, Sioux Falls regained the top spot in the least points allowed rankings. The Storm defense is allowing just 25.6 per game. Sioux City's defense has been instrumental in their success as well. The Bandit's defense is allowing the second least amount of points in the UIF by giving up 28.0 per game. The Bandits newly signed quarterback, Troy Travis, had a great debut as he thew for three touchdowns and ran for two more. Sioux City finishes the season with a brutal schedule as they play Sioux Falls three times and Lexington once in their final seven games.
