View from the enemy: N/A

Tulsa is coming off a tough loss to the Kansas City where the Talons lost on a last second KC touchdown, when Tulsa failed to recover a fumble on the play before.

Chicago coming in: The Rush played last Sunday with an impressive win over the Dallas Vigilantes to regain the lead in the division.

THE MATCHUP

The stats and matchups aren't much different that the team played a fews week ago: See the last preview.

QB Matt Bassuener is likely to get the start. However, Mitch Allner has said that Justin Allgood will get playing time. What concerns me is that Allgood looked terrible is his last start against Chicago, going 12-22 and 2 TDs to 3 INTs. Matt wasn't impressive either is their last matchup going 17-31 and 3TDs to 3INTs.

On Defense, the Talons pass rush of Victor DeGrate, Collin Bryant, and Nekos Brown will need to be stellar once again. In the previous matchup, Rush QB Russ Michna was harassed all game long and the Rush committed 6 turnovers. The Defense will need to continue to force turnovers to help the team to a big road win.

Kickoff at 3:00 CT.
