Hugh Freese is getting 2 mil a year at Liberty. They are 6-0 ranked 25th, so there is something in the cub-bard beside a pool boy.
This is one of the better running games VT has had in a while. They will attack Liberty on the edge where the DE's, LB's and safeties are lacking. Hooker had a bad game at Wake he is usually much better. He is a good duel threat, usually. I expect lots of points in this one, Libertys QB leads the nation in rushing, that has always been Buds weakness, because of the undersized DE's and LB's in his scheme. There was a huge battle between Fuente and Foster to up size the DL. These players are Fosters bunch, the transition to up size will take a few years. I have never been a fan of VT's current LB's, both have been fat, slow, and half the time get lost in the wash. Younger more athletic guys are playing more, Tinsdale has promise. I'd expect Hollyfield and Ashby see limited time this week.
I'm expecting the VT team we saw last week at UL to play this week. Fuente cannot lose to Liberty, period, VT will score plenty, can Liberty put up enough to get the over past 68? Freese is a good coach, he will scheme to cause confusion vs VT weak defense. I expect the over to hit. VT has Miami next week, Vegas is saying they wont over look Liberty.
