Jacksonville State vs Liberty: Preview

Jacksonville State is a 1.5-point underdog with the over/under set at 63 points.

The Gamecocks are coming off a blowout win over Middle Tennessee at home. Jacksonville State led 14–10 at the half but outscored the Blue Raiders 21–3 in the third quarter which was the difference.

Jacksonville State rushed for five touchdowns, as the team was led by Tre Stewart who has 210 yards on 21 carries and a touchdown.

"Tyler ran it really hard, Tre ran really hard, Andrew ran hard, the guy up front did a nice job," said Jax State head coach Rich Rodriguez about the running game, via the team website."
"Our tight ends did an outstanding job and our wide receivers blocked downfield. 438 (yards) rushing isn't bad. That was the difference in the game."

The Gamecocks are led by Tyler Huff, who has thrown for 1,406 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions. He's also rushed for 654 yards and eight touchdowns, and Tre Stewart has rushed for 682 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Defensively, Zechariah Poyser has three interceptions, Reginald Hughes has 3.5 sacks, and Antonio Carter has 54 tackles.

Liberty, meanwhile, is coming off a stunning upset loss to Kennesaw State that gave Kennesaw State its first FBS win in history.

“You hope that you look inward as coaches and players, look inward and say what has got us to this point,” Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell said following the loss, via A Sea of Red."
“Why are we not playing the game the way that I believe we are capable of with the group that we have? Again, that’s me. I’ve got to figure that out that’s what my job is to do and I’ve not done that.”

The Flames committed nine penalties for 100 yards which was an issue for Liberty and cost them the game.

“That’s on me as the head coach,” Chadwell said of the penalties. “It’s something obviously I’m allowing. There was two drives, we had them off the field on a 4th down, we get a PI; then, we have them on for a field goal attempt on 3rd and 9 and we get a late hit. That killed us... I’ve got to do a better job of getting us to play a cleaner game.”

Liberty is led by Quinton Cooley who's rushed for 582 yards and six touchdowns, Dexter Ricks Jr. has two picks, and TJ Bush Jr. has five sacks.

The Flames looked terrible against Kennesaw State while Jacksonville State's offense is legit. The Gamecocks should be able to go on the road to upset Liberty and hand the Flames their second straight loss.
