Well... do we win this VERY winnable game and move to 3-2 on the season, or do we regress and have another poor showing as we are often guilty of? I’m not certain, but ever hopeful.
Score: Liberty 45 - 34 N.M. St.
This is the exact type of game we'd lose, and I'd like to see how the injuries shake out after the Tuesday press conference, but I'm hopeful.
NMSU is coming off a bye week and their only win of the season (27 to 20) against now 0-5 UTEP.
They are ranked 126th in total offense, with only 273 yards and 16 points per game average, against a schedule difficulty rank of 101, per Sagarin. On defense, they are ranked 103rd giving up 434 yards and 39 points per game.
Liberty is performing worse on defense, currently giving up 480 ypg, but we are ranked 27th in offense at 480 ypg against a schedule difficulty rank of 81, per Sagarin.
They have the 41st ranked pass defense, LU is 26, expect a lot of running.
LU 42
NMSU 28
I really like our chances against New Mexico State. I think we should be favored in both games. They beat the worst team in FBS by 7 so that isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
Pretty dad-gum disappointed this one isn’t going to be on ESPN3 as well. I checked my Fox Sports app and don’t see the game listed for televising either. At least I can listen to it.
Is there any way to watch this game online?

I use Hulu as a TV login, and I was able to find it on fox college sports.
For those in the area, it's also on local air WDBJ24 lynchburg/roanoke.
I guess the Fox Sports App is different than Fox Sports Go. I don’t see it listed on there anywhere.
Final score predictions: Liberty 42 - New Mexico State 24
I don't think they have a good offense and may make our defense look decent. We will put up some points. They haven't shown to be a competent FBS team this year and I can't pick them until they start showing it.
NMSU gets points off the Buckshot turnover.
7-7.
LU is 1-6 on 3rd downs. Almost 2nd half. Not sure where the offense is?
Well..... Gill usually has a few WTHeck games each year. I shouldn't be surprised.
LU down 21-7.
So... Are we a good team or a bad team? This is why I don't want to keep Gill.
We can’t stop anybody offensively
Was worried going into this game. See ya guys at the end of the season!
The LU D gave up 402 yards in the air and 171 on the ground for a total of 573 yards.
This is such a typical Gill game. Win big one week and look terrible the next week. I had a glimmer of hope that Gill might be turning it around with unexpected wins against ODU and NM. There is no need to keep him around after the season.
