What to watch for

- Bloomington tries to carry the momentum from last week's dramatic 33-32 win over Lexington on the road. In his first game back from a knee injury, quarterback Dusty Burk injected some life into a struggling Extreme offense that also benefited from the return of 2006 leading receiver Glenn Johnson.

- The contest features two of the lower scoring teams in the UIF. Bloomington is averaging a league-low 24.2 points, while Omaha is tied for seventh at 32.6. The Extreme defense ranks seventh at 38.8 points. Omaha is third at 33.2.

Omaha leads the UIF in rushing defense at just 37.4 yards per game and total defense at 174.2.

- Omaha certainly embraces its nickname of the Beef. The team refers to its home arena as the "Slaughterhouse," has dubbed its mascot "Sir Loin," and calls its dance team "Omaha Prime."

Around the UIF

- Lexington (3-2) and Rock River (2-2) try to stay close to East Division leader RiverCity at Rockford. Led by quarterback Ben Sankey, Rock River boasts the league's top scoring offense, passing offense and turnover margin.
