In case you can't tell, this Liberty passing attack is going to be very difficult to slow down.
First and foremost, the Flames want to run the football. Once Jamey Chadwell gets the run game going, he'll then torch opponents through the air.
Salter will use play action on 46% of his attempts, and he's thrown 15 TDs and 0 INTs off of play action this season.
Blitz the guy? Nope. He's got 12 TDs & 0 INTs against the blitz this season/
Limit the big play? Good luck. Salters has 15 TD throws of 20+ yards in 2023.
This is going to be a tall task for the Tech defense on Saturday.
