Liberty leads 42-3 in the 4th Q.

Hard to overstate how much of a domination that game was by Liberty over FIU. 42-3 after 3 quarters and then backups came in the whole 4th quarter. An FIU defense that had been pretty good gave up nearly 400 yards and 49 points.

Spent the day at the game but not able to post much.

Liberty has averaged a nation high ten penalties per game which has really stymied some offensive drives. Today they had 6 for 60 yards and none that put them in long yardage situations. The difference was clear. FIU has the second best defense in the league. Today’s game wasn’t close.

That was a real blowout! I didn’t expect that.

Dominant performance by Liberty! Wow. We did not compete with a n obviously superior team. Congrats Liberty! Run the table!
