Let's chat about the upcoming clash between the Liberty Flames and the Appalachian State Mountaineers, a game that promises to test both teams' resilience and technique.
The Liberty Flames have been burning a path towards victory this season, with an unblemished 4-0 record thus far. Their quarterback, Kaidon Salter, with a passing efficiency of 166 and 3 touchdowns to his name last month, has been leading the defense on a merry dance. I mean, with no interceptions, the man is like a cat – always landing on his feet.
Their top offensive players in the last month were Treon Sibley and Quinton Cooley, who managed to rack up 341 and 266 total yards respectively. Billy Lucas isn't far behind them, with 240 total yards in the last month alone. On the defensive front, TJ Bush deserves a nod. With 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks, he's been as immovable as a mountain.
On the other side of the field, the Appalachian State Mountaineers aren't sitting back, despite a win-loss record that mirrors a granny knitting 'two and two'. Their quarterback, Joey Aguilar isn't having a bad spell either. His passing efficiency sits at a solid 127.3, but a few interceptions show he’s more badger than cat.
Meanwhile, receivers Kaedin Robinson and Christan Horn have been catching passes like kids catch balls at a fair, with 388 and 291 total yards respectively. Their defensive line-up sees DJ Burks at the forefront, with 21 tackles to his name last month.
Despite the Mountaineers' best efforts, the Flames have shown nothing but dominance this season and the odds seem in favor of their spark not being dampened anytime soon. Based on my judgment, which is like fine wine—better with age—I have to call it as I see it.
