Liberty Bowl Betting Preview

Tigers Taking Shots on Offense

The Memphis odds in this game might not look good, but this team only knows one way to play football, and that’s to be in attack mode. Memphis is scoring 39.2 points per game this season, and they have shown the ability to put points on the board in a hurry. 

Quarterback Seth Henigan is having a huge season for the Tigers as he has thrown for 3,519 yards and 28 touchdowns this season. Henigan has some talented players around him and he simply needs to take care of the ball and feed his weapons. 

Getting stops on defense has been the biggest problem for Memphis this season, and that is going to be something to keep an eye on in this matchup. The Tigers are going to have the defense on the field a ton in this game, and at some point they will need to get pressure on Iowa State. 

Since Memphis knows that it is a big underdog in this game, they will be playing without any pressure. 

Cyclones Wants to Play Slow

This Iowa State roster was hit hard by adversity before the season began, and they have since dealt with a ton of NCAAF injuries this season. Iowa State is scoring less than 26 points per game this season, but they have had some big games on offense at times as well. 

Quarterback Rocco Becht has had a big season for Iowa State throwing the ball, but the Cyclones really want to run the football. Iowa State is averaging 4.3 yards per carry this season, and they will keep some pressure on Memphis in this game. 

This defense has been terrific all season long, but the secondary is going to have to stand tall in order to win this game. Iowa State wants to slow the game way down on Friday afternoon, but that’s not easy to do against a terrific Memphis Tigers offensive team.
