Liberty's run defense numbers are inflated for two reasons: They only gave up 8 yards rushing against Kentucky Wesleyan and they haven't played Stony Brook. If you take those two factors out of the equation Liberty looks like the fifth best run defense behind Utep, Buffalo, Brown, and Gardner Webb, and only just ahead of CCU and Lafayette. No one has stopped Stony Brook from running the ball this season, and it hasn't mattered how many players were in the box. Our passing game is seriously underrated, and I think they'll surprise you as well.

I think both teams defenses have trouble stopping the opposing offense, but the turnover margin will favor Stony Brook. Stony Brook wins by two scores.
