Did LU get too comfortable, relaxed, and sloppy or did Buffalo adjust?

We quit being aggressive upfront in the 2nd quarter and it allowed them to get back into this one.

LU defense picks off 9th pass of season on Buffalo's first drive of the second half.

We don’t need to be giving Buffalo extra points. Lol

Whoops. Instead our defense holds on 4th down in UB territory.

It is indeed 27-14 Flames.

LU defense with three batted passes and an int in the first 6 mins of the second half.

Buffalo inexplicably goes for it on 4th down in their own territory. LU throws ensuing TD. 34-14.

KSalt 33-yard TD pass to Smoot ... 34-14 LU with 8:40 to go in 3rd Quarter

Buffalo closes the gap to 34-21 with 4:20 left in 4th Quarter after capping drive where they went for it on 4th down multiple times.

Salter to CJ Daniels for 75 yards and the TD ... LU pushes the lead to 41-21 with 3:25 to go

Salter’s pass went 70 yards in the air.

He has proven he has serious deep ball range the past few weeks. He's not making mistakes like last year and still making big gains on the ground when he needs to do so.

It’s time to shut the Bulls down. Dominate the 4th quarter Flames!

Liberty .... 41
Buffalo .... 21
