Bryant’s play later three seasons as a reinforcement for the Bearcats helped the Eagles bounce back from a 2-4 record in 2020 to arrive at bowl qualification for the third time in the beyond four seasons. Willis has tossed 12 capture attempts this season, however, that hasn’t prevented him from positioning 30th by and large in the CBS Sports NFL Draft Prospect Rankings.
Willis, an Auburn exchange, is likewise Liberty’s driving rusher and is CBS Sports’ third-positioned quarterback prospect for the 2022 NFL Draft class. However he’s in fact a lesser, this is relied upon to be his last university game, and it’s a chance to give genius scouts one final show later he arrived in the first round in two of three fake drafts refreshed for this present week by CBS Sports’ draft specialists.
Eastern Michigan vs Liberty Preview
The Eagles didn’t exactly have the season that their fans expected, yet it will end in a bowl game in any case. Eastern Michigan got a few opportunities to end with a record far superior to 7-5, yet misfortunes to groups like the Ball State Cardinals and the Northern Illinois Huskies injured their season.
Freedom didn’t have numerous preseason assumptions, yet halfway during that time, it appeared as though they may acquire a more prominent bowl game than this one. Three continuous misfortunes to end the year sunk them down to here, and presently they’ll simply hope to finish strong.
Eastern Michigan vs Liberty Prediction
There weren’t a huge load of positive action items from a 7-5 season for the Eagles, in spite of the fact that Ben Bryant merits some recognition for an effective season. The senior exchange from Cincinnati set up strong creation in his first entire year as a starter to wrap up with 2,921 passing yards and 14 scores to 6 captures. We will probably see Bryant air out the offense to stay up with a powerful Liberty offense. In any case, the Flames permitted the fifth-least passing yards in the country. Eastern Michigan’s surging offense hasn’t been close to as predictable on a case-by-case basis, however, as Jawon Hamilton, Darius Boone Jr., and Samson Evans have scarcely joined for 1,200 hurrying yards this year. The offense midpoints are a little more than 117 surging yards for every game.
Eastern Michigan isn’t a mix-up inclined group – they have the least punishments in school football this season, which is fundamental when confronting a Liberty group that has a negative quirk of reliably messing itself up. The Eagles don’t really have protection that makes a huge load of turnovers, however, they are 5-0 this season when concocting at least two focal points. Their capacity to exploit a mix-up inclined Liberty offense will be basic to remaining in this game. In any case, Football Outsiders positions Eastern at 114th protectively in their high-level FEI metric, and they could be in some hot water against Malik Willis.
My Prediction: Eastern Michigan 28 – Liberty 22
