Fiesta Bowl Betting Preview

Liberty Looking For Defense

The Liberty Flames were able to get through the NCAAF schedule without a loss this season, but things weren’t always perfect along the way. Liberty really struggled to play defense towards the end of the year, and that is going to be a major issue. 

The Flames were able to avoid NCAAF injuries throughout the regular season, and that is the reason that this offense was nearly unstoppable this season. Liberty is scoring over 40.8 points per game, and that offense has been able to score on everyone. 

Quarterback Kaidon Salter has thrown for 2,750 yards and 31 touchdowns this season, and he will need to be a star in this game. Liberty will need to give Salter a chance to throw the ball, but that might be the biggest problem. 

Ducks Dominant on Offense

Liberty has impressed everyone with 40 points per game this season, but that isn’t even close to as impressive as what Oregon has done. Oregon is averaging 44.2 points per game this season, and it has been quarterback Bo Nix leading the way. 

Nix has thrown for 4,145 yards and 40 touchdowns this season, and he was in the Heisman Trophy conversation. Oregon was not expecting to have Nix available for this game, but he is going to give it one final go in an Oregon uniform. 

The Ducks haven’t been as dominant on defense this season as in some recent years, but that unit is still terrific. Oregon will be trying to set the tone on both sides of the football against a much smaller Liberty team.
