This was the third meeting of these two teams, with the series tied 1-1. Arlington defeated San Antonio by a score of 12-10 in week five at The Alamodome, and the following week, the Brahmas got their revenge with a 15-9 victory over the Renegades at Choctaw Stadium. However, so much has changed since then, and the past games are merely statistics.
This game was not only a matchup of Texas teams; it was also a matchup of legends, namely Wade Phillips and Bob Stoops. The two iconic head coaches met three times during the 2023 XFL season, including twice in the regular season before clashing in the South Division Playoff Game in Houston. Phillips, now in his 55th season in the coaching world, boasts a 93-74 overall head coaching record across the NFL, XFL, and UFL. Stoops boasts a 199-61 overall head coaching record across the NCAA, XFL, and UFL.
