Liberty vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
Liberty is probably the better overall team and is sharper defensively out of the gate. However, this is a weekday night game where home dogs have thrived for centuries. Coastal Carolina has the passing attack to give Liberty fits, and there’s motivation on that side as well, considering coach Jamey Chadwell left this program to go to Lynchburg. This should be a packed house, and players certainly had this game circled from the start of the year. It’s LSU – Ole Miss on a smaller scale. I’ll grab the points in what feels like a back-and-forth game.
