Can Cambell Get to .500 This Season?

Last season, Campbell was a bit up and down, and they finished with a 5-6 record. After losing three games in a row late season, Campbell was able to beat North Carolina A&T 28-14 to finish the season. After the season, Campbell made a coaching change and Braxton Harris is going to be leading the troops this season. The biggest issue for Campbell is there are a ton of question marks.

On offense, wide receiver VJ Wilkins is back, and he was named to the preseason All-CAA team. On the defensive side, CJ Tillman is the best player and the defense is going to need to step up here. If the defense struggles early, they could be out of striking distance early. 

Liberty Looks for Another Strong Year

Liberty is looking for another strong year, and they hope they have loaded the schedule with cupcake after cupcake. Jeremy Chadwell has taken over and his innovative offense should be Liberty fans excited. Kaidon Salter is back, and last year he ran for 1,089 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also found the end zone 32 times through the air. He is an elite quarterback, and he has to feel like he can sling the rock all around the Campbell defense. One issue for Salter though is he has lost a couple of key targets including CJ Daniels who is now at LSU. 

On defense, Liberty has a good defensive pass rush that is going to need to spend a lot of time in the backfield in this game. The secondary however could have a bit of a down year, and they need to try and avoid the big play. If they start giving up the big plays, it could be a long season for the defense. 

Why Liberty Will Beat Campbell

• Liberty has won each of its last eight games at Arthur L. Williams Stadium.
• Liberty has covered the spread in three of its last four games at Arthur L. Williams Stadium.

Campbell vs Liberty Prediction 

I do have concerns about the Liberty secondary as the season goes on, but that isn’t going to be an issue against Campbell. This Campbell offense isn’t that good, at least not against a team like Liberty. Their defense also has no one to slow down Kaidon Salter, and this game is going to get out of control early. Liberty is going to run up the score early, and they are going to cruise. Back Liberty against the spread here.
