Liberty (1-4) heads to El Paso looking for a reset as they take on UTEP (1-4) under the lights at the Sun Bowl.
The Flames have dropped four of their last five and desperately need quarterback Ethan Vasko healthy to stabilize an offense that’s sputtered without him. When he’s on the field, Liberty’s attack has rhythm, and his dual-threat ability could help in the ground game led by Evan Dickens. They have shown cracks in the secondary, and that's a problem.
For UTEP, the defense hasn’t been the issue as it leads Conference USA in total defense, but the offense has been its own worst enemy. Malachi Nelson, the former five-star QB, has shown potential, yet leads college football in interceptions, and those giveaways have buried the Miners week after week.
Still, after picking off Louisiana Tech four times, UTEP’s defense looks capable of keeping this close if the offense avoids self-destruction. Both teams badly need a turnaround win.
