Stallion Strength: Soaring Offense
The Stallions boast the league’s most potent offense, averaging a staggering 25 points per game. Quarterback Alex McGough has been efficient, spreading the ball around to a talented receiving corps led by Deon Cain (264 yards). The rushing attack is no slouch either, with Adrian Martinez (164 yards) providing a dynamic dual-threat option.
Roughnecks Rise: Defensive Reliance
The Roughnecks have found success with a stingy defense, allowing a league-low 14.5 points per game. Defensive leader Kyahva Tezino leads a relentless pass rush, while Carlos Davis anchors a stout secondary. However, their offense has sputtered at times, with Reid Sinnett struggling for consistency.
Offensive Spark Needed for Houston
The Roughnecks desperately need their offense to find a rhythm. Establishing a consistent running game would open things up for Sinnett and the passing attack. Watch for Houston to lean on bruising back Adrian Martinez to create opportunities.
