Both teams have been preparing for this highly anticipated match, and the performance of key players will play a crucial role in determining the outcome. Based on the player statistics from their previous three games, it is clear that Liberty Flames' quarterback Stephen Calvert has been a standout performer.


In their most recent game against Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Calvert showcased his skills by throwing for 244 yards with a completion percentage of 54.8%. He also threw one touchdown pass without any interceptions. His average yards per throw were an impressive 7.9.


Calvert's exceptional performance was not limited to passing alone. In the same game, he rushed for 41 yards with an average of 5.1 yards per carry and scored one touchdown. His ability to contribute both through the air and on the ground makes him a formidable threat to the UMass Minutemen defense.


Another player who has consistently performed well for the Liberty Flames is running back Joshua Mack. In their previous three games, Mack rushed for a total of 109 yards with an impressive average of 9.9 yards per carry. He also scored two touchdowns and recorded four first downs.


Wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden has also been a key contributor to the Liberty Flames' offense. In their last three games, he caught nine passes for a total of 149 yards with an average of 16.6 yards per reception. Gandy-Golden's reliable hands and ability to gain significant yardage after catches make him a dangerous weapon in the passing game.


On the defensive side, safety Benjamin Alexander has been a standout player for the Liberty Flames. In their previous three games, he recorded six tackles and provided solid coverage in the secondary. His presence will be crucial in limiting the UMass Minutemen's passing attack.


As for the UMass Minutemen, quarterback Andrew Brito has shown promise with his passing ability. In their last game against Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Brito threw for 66 yards with a completion percentage of 26.3%. However, he also threw two interceptions, which could be a concern against a strong Liberty Flames defense.


Running back Bilal Ally has been a reliable option in the UMass Minutemen's rushing attack. In their previous game, Ally rushed for 92 yards with an impressive average of 9.2 yards per carry. He also scored one touchdown and recorded three first downs.


Wide receiver Jermaine Johnson Jr. has been a consistent target for Brito in the passing game. In their last game, Johnson caught three passes for 28 yards and contributed to moving the chains with one first down.


Based on these statistics, it is clear that Liberty Flames' Stephen Calvert has been the standout performer among both teams. His ability to make accurate throws and contribute as a rusher gives him an edge over other players.


However, it is important to note that football is a team sport and success cannot be solely attributed to individual performances. The outcome of this upcoming game will depend on how well both teams execute their strategies and work together as cohesive units.
