The Colorado Ice look to get back to the .500 mark today when they host the Allen Wranglers in an Indoor Football League game.
Colorado (1-2) opened the season with a road loss, won at home and last week lost on the road to the Tri-Cities Fever. Allen (3-0), meanwhile, is just one of three undefeated teams in the 17-team IFL.
The Wranglers made national headlines before the season with the signing of former NFL star Terrell Owens. Owens has played in two of the Wranglers' three games - one at home and one on the road - and has eight catches for 103 yards and four touchdowns.
It is not known if Owens will play today. He had announced several days before the Wranglers' trip to Rio Grande, N.M., that he would play against the Stars, but no similar announcement has come this week.
Colorado is coming off a 64-50 loss at Tri-Cities, which is tied with Allen for first place in the IFL's Intense Conference. The Ice ranks fourth in the IFL in scoring (53.7 points a game); the Wranglers are fifth (47.7).
Allen has the league's best defensive unit, surrendering 28.3 points a game. The Nebraska Danger and Chicago Slaughter share second at 36 points a game, 7.7 points more than the Wranglers. The Ice give up 49 points a contest, 12th in the league.
Ice quarterback David Knighton ranks eighth in the league in quarterback ranking at 101 a game. He is 11th among QBs with 165.3 yards a game and has thrown 11 touchdown passes and two interceptions.
The Wranglers' Darius Fudge is sixth in the league in rushing with 105 yards. Knighton is fifth with 114 and teammate Tobias Robinson seventh with 92.
