Recap for last week's game: "The Tulsa Talons lost four turnovers and allowed Cleveland quarterback John Dutton to throw nine touchdown passes — not the best prescription for success."
The Oklahoman takes a look at this week's instate matchup: "The Talons and the Yard Dawgz are more than just division adversaries and in-state foes. OKC coach Sparky McEwen said the bitter rivalry is no different than the one between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees."
Donovon Morgan assures he's going to work on ball control: "It's a bad habit I've gotten into, holding the ball with one hand, and I see that it's something I'm gonna have to work on in practice," he said. "I promised my teammates that it would never happen again. I'm not a guy who fumbles and turns the ball over, so I let my them down in that aspect."
Jason Dixon of Tampa Bay Storm Radio gives the Talons a C+: "I think Tulsa was one of the teams that I hit the nail on right on the head early on. They are real good at home. Take them out of Tulsa and they struggle. 3-0 at the BOK Center, 0-3 everywhere else. The Talons have been hard luck losers. They lost two straight games on the last play of the game. They will have a chance to beef up their record. They have played just one game within their division and the Southwest is likely the weakest in the AFL. Tulsa needs to shore up its defense. It is giving up more than 63 points per game putting it near the bottom of the league. They should win the division and get to host a playoff game, but to get to the Arena Bowl, they will have to win on the road."
KRMG previews Justin Allgood's chance to set a franchise record: "It could also be a record-setting night for Tulsa's starting quarterback. During the last home game, running back Odie Armstrong set a franchise record with a 37-yard TD run against Alabama. Now it is quarterback Justin Allgood who has a chance to rewrite the team's record book.
Allgood trails all-time franchise leader Craig Strickland by just 262 yards in total passing."

Dallas coach Rich Ingold claims they will win the division: "I'm going to go out on a limb right now and I'm going to tell you -- we're going to go out, we're going to compete and win this division," Ingold said.
The Tulsa World previews tonight's game: "Friendships and rivalries are renewed whenever the Tulsa Talons tangle with the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz."
Be sure to mention sickle cell night when buying your Talons tickets tonight: "Tickets are $12 each and $4 of each ticket purchased will go to the sickle cell group."
