Do we finally get the running game firmly on track tonight, despite the delay of AA's return?

It's slow on here for a game day, so here is a two part question:

Will our team rushing yards be over or under 150 on the night? Who is the leading rusher?

I say we would be over 150. Clifton Richardson gets over 100

150.5 on the o/u and I will take the over with Richardson leading the way

I will take the over and say that with the game well in hand, DJ Abner will get some carries in the second half, and will break off at least one long run, with some other nice gains to end up as our leading rusher.

I like the thinking here. I expect to see a couple of long runs, and Abnar in mop-up time seems like a good candidate, though I still see Rice and the best bet for top gainer simply because I think coach is going to give him many more touches.

Agreed...with AA out this week, Rice gets an extra week to audition for the coaches and show he can be a "factor back" for Liberty going into this upcoming stretch of 5 games and forward.

With two games under their belts to get their feet, our O line will come together tonight and pave the way for a ground pounding. I say "over;" 200+ with Rice (25 carries) and Richardson (run of 60+ for a TD) both over 100.

I'm also calling for our D to pitch a shutout!

Go Flames!!!
