Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at Liberty Flames (-14.5, 55.5)
Liberty is one of the best Group of Five teams in the country, as mentioned in this week’s T Shoe Index resume ranking update from our very own Tyler Shoemaker. Liberty ranks 27th in yards per play allowed on defense and 13th in YPP on offense. Troy and Liberty are the only Group of Five teams to rank in the top 30 in both of those stats.
Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee ranks 78th in YPP with a one-dimensional offense that really only finds success throwing the ball. The defense ranks 77th in YPP, so they’re pretty identical on both sides of the ball and not in a particularly great way. They’re a below average group all around facing a Liberty team that has been great this season.
