Columbus rides a 24-17 win over Houston into the Dome, but St. Louis just made a massive quarterback change. The Battlehawks named Luis Perez their starter this week, bringing back "the King of Spring" to try and salvage their playoff hopes.

The [Aviators](https://uflnewshub.com/ufl/2026-ufl-week-7-game-preview-columbus-aviators-st-louis-battlehawks) ground game has been their calling card lately, rushing for 179 yards in that Houston win. But they'll face a desperate Battlehawks team that knows Perez gives them their best shot at turning this season around. St. Louis has the home crowd and the better talent on paper, but Columbus has momentum.

**Players to Watch:**

- **Luis Perez** (Battlehawks, QB) — Makes his 2026 debut after being named starter, could be the spark St. Louis needs
- **[Jalan McClendon](https://uflnewshub.com/player/jalan-mcclendon-28932)** (Aviators, QB) — Has thrown for 1,072 yards and needs to keep pace with the Battlehawks offense
- **[John Lovett](https://uflnewshub.com/player/john-lovett-28525)** (Aviators, RB) — Rushing leader with 230 yards, key to controlling the clock against St. Louis
- **Hakeem Butler** (Battlehawks, WR) — Leads with 405 receiving yards, Perez's top target in the passing game
- **Jarveon Howard** (Battlehawks, RB) — League rushing leader with 296 yards, needs a big game at home

**Pick:** St. Louis 27-20. Perez shakes off the rust and the home crowd lifts the Battlehawks to a crucial win.
