Carolina has caused more and allowed more. New Jersey linebacker Werner Purvis strained his calf and will be out this week. Fullback Derrick Gainer will also be hobbled this week but still could play. The Iguanas were pretty pleased with their 2-2 start but six straight losses made the season a might depressing. Carolina was coming off its win over Swamp Creek.
Key Largo is a gutty team with one loss to many for the playoffs.
The way the Iguanas have been able to respond though makes Cedar Rapids a little leary about this game. The Iguanas have scored 99 points the past two weeks and are led by Eric Bieniemy. He is second in the league in rushing with 1,387 yards. He has an outside shot at the rushing title, but Heath Sherman of Birmingham is 88 yards ahead and has a better line in front of him. Cedar Rapids needs to win its final two games.
