View from the other side: Liberty beat writer breaks down Toledo’s bowl opponent

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Boca Raton Bowl will be the fourth game between Toledo and Liberty, but the first since 2007.

College football has undergone significant change over the past 15 years: players can be paid legally, offenses have exploded, and Liberty is in the FBS. The list could number in the hundreds.

While Liberty isn’t a new opponent for the Rockets, not much is known about the Flames in northwest Ohio. In the past few seasons, Liberty has become one of the top Group of Five programs in the country.
