What to Expect in the Upcoming Game
As they prepare to face UTEP Miners at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, VA, fans can anticipate another strong performance from both sides of the ball. The key factors likely to influence this matchup include Liberty's potent rushing attack led by Quinton Cooley and Billy Lucas who have been instrumental in their ground game success. Additionally, Kaidon Salter's dual-threat capability as quarterback adds another dimension to their offense that could pose significant challenges for UTEP's defense.
On defense, TJ Bush Jr.'s ability to disrupt plays behind the line of scrimmage alongside Quinton Reese’s knack for forcing turnovers will be crucial in stifling UTEP Miners’ offensive efforts.
