Underclassman Ezra Sanelivi Major Player in Liberty Victory
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Thursday as Ezra Sanelivi came into the matchup on a mission. He was unstoppable, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Liberty's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't).
On the season, Sanelivi has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 72.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
