Liberty @ Montana
Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2012 5:44 pm
After watching both the Montana and Liberty games this weekend I gotta say Montana should be feeling confident about getting the win at home. After Malcolm Boyd was injured (I believe a broken leg) Liberty seemed to fall apart. Liberty is also dealing with some other injuries. Both RB's Holloway and Allen both seemed to get a little beat up in the Norfolk St game and and even QB Brian Hudson was taken out of the game at the end with some kind of injury. That being said our offense seems to be taking all the hits. I could easily be wrong but as far as I know we're still solid on the defensive side of the ball with no injuries. I thought Montana played some outstanding football against App St on the road. Obviously Montana has some issues like any other team but they showed why they're a top 10 FCS team. My heart tells me Liberty bounces back and comes away with a win but it also told me we would beat both Wake Forest and Norfolk State and look where that got me. I really hate to say this because I'm the kind of fan that always says Liberty will win but I'm going to admit I think Montana pulls out the win. Liberty obviously still has issues stopping the run and Montana will take advantage of that. Liberty also has a great secondary so there's no point in Montana putting a lot of balls in the air and risking the turnover. I think it will be a low scoring game because Liberty has the strong defense but inconsistent offense. My prediction is Liberty 17 Montana 28. I really hope I'm wrong about this and I really wish I could go to this game! I'd love to meet some Montana fans and check out there game atmosphere. Post your final score predictions here!
