Looking at the transaction page, it would appear the Storm will be starting a new o-lineman at Allen tomorrow. That's a little disconcerting.

Sioux Falls at Allen
Coming into this game the Sioux Falls Storm (5-0) are ranked #1 while the Allen Wranglers (5-1) are ranked #3.
This is the first ever meeting between these two teams, but a reunion of sorts for WR Solomon (now with the Storm) and RB Fudge (now with the Wranglers) who were stars in Wichita until this year. This is also the best matchup of the year so far, on paper at least. My actual favorite game of the year so far is Colorado's win over Allen a few weeks ago. Allen's QB Printers only played a half last game due to an injury. If he's not fully recovered, they may have an issue even keeping it close. Avery filled in for Printers in the second half of the last game, but don't expect him to do that again, he's too valuable as a WR threat (and has produced more than Terrell Owens). Terrell Owens complained of being double teamed all game once, but the truth is Avery has outplayed him so far. I'm positive the QB carousel in Allen has been because the player/owner wasn't happy with Randall, Sankey, etc. They just need to pick a guy and stick with him at this point and it seems as if Printers is that guy if he's healthy. Allen did sign another QB this week though.
-------------------------------------
I'm going with the Sioux Falls Storm to get the win here. Terrell Owens should get an up close view of what a good QB in this league looks like when Dixon takes the field. He may even be caught on camera moaning, "that's my quarterback."

I'm interested in seeing what kind of offense the Storm use this game. Starting a new offensive lineman that they just signed. Plus, the only running back they're suiting (Korey Williams) has only carried the ball once all season... for a 4 yd loss. I foresee lots of 4 wides and lots of QB scrambles.

Korey Williams did just fine, lol (can the Beef have him back now? ... Cowdrey sure has an eye for talent ... as it walks on out the door all year ... smdh).
Dixon had pressure throughout, so yeah, the new presence on the line was felt.

I watched this game on B2. Great game and fun to watch. The game reminded me of the old Outlaw/Storm games back in the day...... Maybe it was because there were at least 12 former Outlaws on the rosters.
I am not bitter!

Yellowstone - Hopefully you can get a team back in Billings soon.
Allen played great with WR Maurice Avery playing QB. While Avery has prior experience at that position, imagine how potent Allen would be with a QB back there who's played the position continuously the past few years and then have Avery back at WR where he excels even more.
Allen's defense played great again, but the Storm defense stole the show in the second half.www.goifl.com/news/news-archive/76-sioux-falls-storm/554-storm-defeat-wranglers-52-45
