Massachusetts has been better since freshman QB Brady Olson took over the offense, including a 27-13 victory over Connecticut two games ago as a +3 dog. UMass is 7-3 ATS following a defeat. Liberty is a huge favorite, but it has injuries to both of its quarterbacks. QB Malik Willis has been sacked 28 times, including 13 in the last three games, and missed half of last week's game with a foot injury. Backup QB Johnathan Bennett played in Willis' absence but he hurt his hand. In practice this week, most of the fingers on his right throwing hand were heavily taped. True freshmen QBs Kaidon Salter and Nate Hampton are available, but they have never played in a college game. Also, the Liberty defense is off its worst two games, a 35-26 win over North Texas as a 21-point favorite and a 31-28 loss to UL-Monroe as 33-point chalk. North Texas ran for 242 yards on them and rolled up 454 total yards. Play Massachusetts.
