Football on Tuesday Night: Logan Smothers, Liberty vs Jacksonville State.

[Badger Pete]

I thought Jamie Chadwell’s Liberty University would boat-race JSU. Jacksonville State’s D has kept them in the game.

Rich-Rod is the head coach of Jacksonville (talk about a fall from grace). #2 ranked West Virginia, then to Michigan, etc, etc, and now at Jacksonville State. They are 5-1 so good for him.

While I have nothing but good wishes for Logan Smothers (and am rooting for him in the game), I am so glad he left so HH could start his progression upward.

LS has a very weak arm, throws into double coverage, and is not nearly the runner that HH is.

For those interested, the game is on ESPNU. Rich-Rod just pulled Smothers, but he will be back in because they run a 2-QB platoon system.

End of the 3rd: Liberty 17-13 over Jacksonville. I love both offenses, but both can’t execute. The under was the sure bet tonight.

But yet, many were screaming for Smothers here. Maybe the coaches did know something, maybe....

liberty is a really solid outfit. excellent running game and back. they remind me of boise in years gone by and will be a tough out for any p5 team in bowl season. not sure why coach chadwell hasn't gotten a p5 job? baylor awaits, i would guess.

Nobody was screaming for him. I wanted him to stay for bench depth. He had a ~70% pass completion 5 TD game with a great throw for a 2 pt conversion last week to force OT. Rallied his team from 2 scores down to an overtime win.
