Butterfield throws a nice ball. Reminds me a lot of Petras at MC. He had all day to throw, as CN didn't (or wasn't able to) put up pressure (had to respect the run game). Liberty has offensive weapons and their coach mixed up the play calling well. CN kinda lost great opportunities in the first half. They fumbled on the 3 yard line going in for td on their first drive, then Liberty went on a long 97 yard drive for score. Then later in the2 nd quarter, CN driving nicely and fumbled again inside the Liberty 10, where Liberty got a scoop and score. That was one of those potential 14 point swings fans hate to see. Then CN gets Liberty to 4th down with :29 left in half. Liberty lines up and lets the clock run down and throws the hail Mary and gets the TD. And it was well deserved. Beautiful throw and catch. Everyone knew it was coming, but CN didn't put any safeties deep, and got burned. With the exception of a short CN drive that resulted in a punt, the entire 3rd quarter was one long Liberty drive that resulted in a TD at the beginning of the 4th qtr. CN defense is pretty tough, considering more than half the players are going both ways. They looked gassed with about 9:00 min left in the 4th. Congrats to Liberty, they deserved the win. CN shouldn't have any issues the rest of season, if they can stay healthy.
