Head coach Greg Cooper said that the Warriors are not letting Dallas’ record distract from the task at hand.

“We get challenged every week and we have to prepare every week,” Cooper said. “When we’re simple, we’re exciting. When we try to be exciting, we’re not.”

The Warriors are coming off a tough 10-point loss to the San Diego Legion at home on Saturday.

The Jackals last game was a 4-point home loss, 7-3, against Old Glory DC.

After a four-game win streak, Utah has lost two straight against Old Glory DC and San Diego. They aim to get back on track with a win over the Jackals.

“We are not where we want to be on the table,” Cooper said. “But, we’re getting to where we want to be as a team.”

Dallas has scored just 26 tries so far this season. That mark is tied for the second-lowest in the league, only in front of the Toronto Arrows.
