They were completely out played by Tulsa. How many 1 score wins against bad teams is it gonna take for the committee to rank us ahead of them? Our resume is better.

We absolutely should be ahead of them. We likely won’t be. I think we have to overcome a few slots in the ranking of Liberty distaste by the committee.

I know a LU fan who couldn't understand how we we were favored by 13 points. He thought line should have been much less.

A dropped pass, and 2 bad passes, then a punt

Unpopular opinion-

Todays game was concerning. The win and score was great. I thought this was going to be a lot closer
However, ODU’s QB was horrendous. He was about as accurate as a sundial in a foot race. If the D plays like this against a QB who is accurate LU could lose. Why? The offense did next to nothing in the second half. That could be because they streamlined the playbook but it is concerning
LU defense is a very very big concern

Offense left a lot of points on the field in 2nd half. I'm hoping it's because we were playing a lot of backups.

I am stunned at how much he has improved over last season! He made throws this year he wasn’t capable of making last year. His decision making is light years ahead of last year. Amazing what can happen when you’re not always looking over your shoulder and you put in the work.,

Not sure what to think. I have no idea how that bunch stayed in games with App, Coastal and JMU. QB was weakest we've seen all year.

Our strength is our OL. Game ball goes to them every week.

Glad to get the win.

Their QB did have a lot of really bad throws. Not sure how they’ve faired so well.

Did anyone see any ODU fans at the game ? I didn't see any. I thought they'd bring at least a couple hundred.

Several, about ten, near us on the Baptist side and there were a bunch in the visitor's section.

Agreed !!! UMASS can beat us, UTEP can beat us and NMSU can definitely beat us. Stay focused, keep working on cleaning up coverage. We just lost our anchor D Lineman - things are going to get more stressful on secondary and LB’s...

And it looks like Kendy is out for the rest of the season. Also lost Benny at TE. This game was a huge win...but costly at the same time.

Man, it’s FBS football. You can lose any game. And you know what happens if you lose? You go out and play the next game after that. Im not saying the players should overlook UMass but golly some of you need to stop worrying so much and enjoy the fact that we just won our tenth game out of ten.

PS if we lose to UMass we better be glad we won’t be matched up against a team like Oregon in a NY6 bowl. :lol:

If you are ever feeling down on your luck and want a quick pick-me-up, go over the Old Dominion message board and read the LU game thread. The amount of frustration and self-loathing over there is robust. I don't think those guys are ever going to want to play Liberty again. Seriously.

I haven't looked at it but I wonder if it's any different than the other blowouts we've had against them. That game was pretty par for the course iirc.
