No. 22 Louisiana looking to end Liberty's home win streak

No. 22 Louisiana (9-1) at Liberty (7-3), 4 p.m. (ESPNU)

Line: Liberty by 4 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Series record: Louisiana leads 1-0.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

The Ragin Cajuns are looking to solidify their spot in the Top 25, reach the 10-win mark for the third straight year and win their fifth in a row on the road. The Flames can enhance their standing as an up-and-coming program with a victory.

KEY MATCHUP

Liberty QB Malik Willis against the Louisiana defense. Willis is projected as a first-round NFL Draft choice and is a contender for a number of postseason awards. He makes things happen with his arm and his legs, but will be going against a defense ranked 14th nationally, allowing just 18.9 points per game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Louisiana: DL Zi’Yon Hill. He leads the Ragin' Cajuns with 4 1/2 sacks and could present a problem for Willis, who leads Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks with 755 rushing yards. Liberty QBs, however, have been sacked 38 times.

Liberty: RB Shedro Louis. He ran for 101 yards on just seven carries in the Flames' 27-14 loss to No. 10 Mississippi. If he can be a threat in the running game, the Ragin' Cajuns might be less inclined to focus entirely on Willis.
