Aw man! I hate picking against the Flames, but I just don't see us winning this game...... unless, and it's a big unless.....
I went to the ODU vs. Villanova game last fall while stationed at Ft. Eustis, VA. I was sure I was going to see a huge blow out and ODU put up about 60 points. ODU got quick strike huge yardage plays to start the game. But then, the Nova defense adjusted and stopped the long plays. Then Nova started running the ball, and kept running, and ran it down ODUs throat. They ate up the clock, keeping the ODU offense off the field. Nova won that game. It was the ODU homecoming game. I never thought it would have happened. I knew the ODU defense was questionable at best (which still seems to be the case), but I never thought their offense could be stopped.
The way I see it. Liberty will have to follow that blueprint. Otherwise, I don't see us sticking with them in a shootout. My prediction.....
55 ODU
24 Liberty
Halftime total points : 45
