Remember when Andy Isabella went for over 300 yards receiving on us a few years back? I sure hope we don't give up even close to as many yards and points as we did on that day...

Being 36 point favorites we'd have to score about 100 to cover the spread.

After the ULM loss, no game is a gimme.
We didn't even play UNT very tough - played from behind much of the game.

Time to get things put together this week and carry some positive momentum into the final three weeks and our toughest stretch of the schedule. Would like to see Liberty with a zero turnover game and limit mistakes. This is a very potent team when they are not shooting ourselves in the foot.

UMass will play tough and smart. We need to do the same as well as optimize our explosiveness. If we do so that we'll be fine.

[Geraldos Mustache]

This game is a total disaster for Umass.
Two possessions - two turnovers deep in their own territory that turn into quick Liberty scores.

Down 14-0 on the road with only 1:20 off the clock.
Worst start ever?

[Geraldos Mustache]

Three (3) dropped interceptions on the third Umass drive and the Minutemen score 3 points.

Flames lacking that killer instinct. Won’t matter much in this game but failure to capitalize on those kinds of opportunities will haunt them vs Ole Miss, Louisiana and Army.

UMass looks like a bad FCS squad.

[LU Grad 11]

Defense has been solid. Offense is still stuck in neutral. Going for too many bombs.

[Liberty22]

We sure put the special in special teams

[LU Grad 11]

O looking better. 34-3.

[stokesjokes]

We look better than we have against FCS schools today. When do we pull the starters?

[Ill flame]

I say rotate the backups in after halftime and completely pull the starters in the 4th quarter. Malik doesn't need to play another down.

Any word on Mack?

[ballcoach15]

Concession stands still not FBS Ready. Very bad service and very slow

We get the 2nd half kickoff. I expect Malik to play at least that first drive. If we score, I think that will be it. If not, maybe 1 more. Although Bennett is cleared to play, I would think they go to Hampton and Salter the rest of the way.

That's pretty much the feeling I got from Freeze. It sounds like Hampton will be the first to go in from what Freeze said.

Someone tell the defense that 2nd half has started.

Salter definitely looks the more dangerous player over Hampton for the future.

[ballcoach15]

210 yards rushing allowed. too many

[Ill flame]

It was fun to see salter and Hampton get some reps. I'm not going to over think their performance but I'm excited to see who wins the QB battle next year. Salter is definitely has very explosive speed, Hampton is quicker than I expected and seems to be farther along with his arm. I think either one can do well for us next year with Bennett likely being the favorite right now.

[rtb72]

Agreed. Really fun game and nice to see Salter and Hampton get some quality time. We have a bright future at QB if this keeps up.

Any word on Mack?

I noticed he didn't play a single snap but was dressed out....so yeah....my wife and I were wondering the same thing. Injury?
