Freedom returned

After losing two games in a row, the Liberty rebounded in a big way in the last Middle Tennessee game. The attack produced a decent game, scoring 37 points and ultimately winning by 20 points. Liberty scored 20 points in the second quarter and that was enough to get the job done. Kaidon Slater completed 11 of his 15 passes for 154 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Liberty is averaging 30.9 points overall while their defense is giving up 22.6 points per game. The offense ranks 47th in the league, while the defense ranks 52nd in all of college football. Liberty will meet Western Kentucky and Sam Houston after this game.

Another bad year for UMass

UMass has a total of two wins on its season, but things have mostly been downhill for this team. The last game for UMass was against Mississippi State and it was not a good game as they scored 20 points while the defense gave up 45 points. One problem for UMass is that they don’t have a clear quarterback. In the last game they played three different quarterbacks and not one really stood out. AJ Hairston completed 7 of his 11 passes for 62 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception.

UMass is averaging 19.2 points this season while their defense is giving up 31.7 points per game. The offense ranks 120th in the league, while the defense ranks 106th. In this game the attack has to get going. UMass will face Georgia next.

Freedom vs. UMass Prediction

UMass still hasn’t figured out who they want to play at quarterback and that will let them down in this game. UMass gave up 45 points to Mississippi State in its last game and it gets worse here. Slater is going to have a huge game for Liberty and that will be the difference here. UMass will struggle to get the offense going here, and Liberty will cover the spread here.
