I don't like JMU at all - I think they're a bombastic, elitist and snobby fanbase; however, they're a top G5 team for sure and they looked pretty good rolling over Ga Southern Saturday.Ill flame wrote:At this point the MAC and sunbelt are effectively out of it.Special thanks to our Harrisonburg neighbors for running over the SBC while being bowl ineligible.
Midseason MVP: CB Kobe Singleton. Despite head coach Jamey Chadwell's offensive bona fides, the Flames' defense has been their best unit this season, ranking 18th in yards allowed per possession (1.4) and forcing three-and-outs 44% of the time (fourth). The run defense has been a little bit bend-don't-break. Despite an iffy pass rush, the secondary has dominated. Liberty ranks ninth in passing success rate involved and 12th in raw QBR allowed, and no secondary in the country is making more havoc plays (pass defended, TFLs and forced fumbles). Singleton, a Southern Utah transfer, has allowed completions on just 13 of 32 passes with one touchdown while picking off three passes.

Liberty is far better than anyone else in this conference. That's pretty much everything you need to know here.Link ($): https://www.espn.com/college-football/i ... sman-watch

Here's the totality of his CUSA analysis:ODU just beat App State and then took JMU to the wire on the road. They're envious of our budget and an in state rivalry is building. They'll be coming to Lynchburg with a chip on their shoulder. UMASS put a Smack Down on Army this week. Army scored late to make it look more respectable than it was. And UTEP has been losing some close ones. Win these and we'll be ranked. Not going to be easy.
