In this article, we will formulate a Liberty vs East Carolina prediction for this College Football Week 4 Game on Saturday, September 21st, at Williams Stadium. Let’s take a look at a Liberty Flames vs East Carolina Pirates pick.
Liberty Have Impressed
Liberty have impressed to start the season and they come into this Game with a 3-0 record. Liberty in the last Game faced off against UTEP and they were able to secure the 28-10 victory. Liberty’s offense wasn’t exactly elite in the last Game but they still scored the 28 points. Quarterback Kaiden Salter completed 15 of his 19 passes for 228 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions.
Billy Lucas had a huge game putting up 21 carries for 104 yards and three touchdowns. In two of the three games the defense gave up 24 points and that’s something that could be improved upon. In this game the Liberty’s going to need the offense to put on a show and Slater is going to put on a show.
East Carolina Looks to Bounce Back
East Carolina won the first two Games of the season but in the last Game against Appalachian State they fell just short. At the end of the first quarter, East Carolina was up 16-0, but they only scored three points the rest of the Game and ended up losing 22-19. Jake Garcia did have a strong Game completing 18 of his 28 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Rahjai Harris also finished with 18 carries for 87 yards.
Two games ago against Old Dominion, East Carolina was also tested but they ended up winning 20-14. In that game Jake Garica threw four touchdowns and they can’t let that happen again here. East Carolina needs to find the offensive success early and not take the foot off the gas.
Why East Carolina Will Cover Against Liberty
- The underdog has won three of East Carolina’s last four games.
- Liberty has failed to cover the spread in six of its last seven games.
- East Carolina has covered the spread in four of its last five games as an underdog.
Liberty vs East Carolina Prediction
East Carolina can keep this Game close. Jake Garcia threw for 226 yards in the last Game and he’s going to find the offensive success again here. He is going to limit the turnovers. The better quarterback in this Game is Slater but he hasn’t been as good as he was last season. Liberty’s offense isn’t going to be running up the score here, and ti’s going to be East Carolina that is going to keep this Game close. Back East Carolina against the spread here.
