This was a bad matchup for us with 3 of our secondary people out. Eventually the dam broke. Offense had to help out. Felt like we didn’t try to establish the run enough after the 1st drive. We did drop one and possibly two TD passes.

We play-called our way into a FG on first drive when we should have gotten 7. We had a TD taken off board that changed complexion of the game. We blew a deep drive when QB slid on fourth down on what would have been a first otherwise. We play-called our way out of FG range to end the half and had to try a 50 yarder. Then we dropped the two long passes when we had to score to keep up.

Liberty is good. They are a lot more than just Willis. I said he is the closest thing I have seen to Michael Vick, and that he is.

The defense didn't play that well but the ugly loss is on the offense. The gap between UAB and the good G5 teams is on that side of the ball. Teams like Liberty, Coastal, and App St score points and a lot of them. You aren't going to shut them down so you have to keep the ball and score. Clark should have made big changes on the offensive side of the ball after some subpar seasons there but chose otherwise. He's our guy so we live with his decisions.
