Just to rub our nose in that embarrassing performance we had last week.

Good win, over Marshall!

To be fair, UAB had quite a few defensive starters missing due to injuries. If they were healthy the outcome would've likely been different. I'm not totally sold on Liberty.

Wins against:

2-2 Division 1-AA Campbell
2-3 Troy
1-4 Old Dominion
3-2 UAB

Those opponents are a combined 3-6 against other FBS teams not including losses taken by Liberty. UAB over North Texas and Tulane and Troy over Southern Miss are those FBS wins.

Their sole loss to Syracuse whose record is good but SOS is horrible handed Florida State their only win of the season. I believe MTSU can win if they stay healthy. The key is that QB and the runningback Mobley. If they are healthy, MTSU has a chance.

Interesting to read that If UAB had all of it's players the outcome would have been different. I mean Liberty was missing 70% of their Offense line and still beat Troy. Due to Covid issues, Liberty has had 9 starters who have missed 3 games so far this year. Even against Syracuse, Liberty had starters out. Liberty show up, and went toe to toe with them on their turf, and lost a good game. Every team as the season goes on loses players. Good teams don't relay solely on their starters to win games. They are good because of their depth.

I hope when Liberty plays Ole Miss, and we go blow for blow with them (I don't think we have snowball chance in hell) that Liberty will then earn your respect.
