"The benefit of playing a team twice and only a few weeks ago is the scouting isn't as involved, said Pittsburg head coach Charlie Ramirez. We can really just focus on technique and our basic fundamentals, and it showed itself tonight. It's telling the guys, As long as we're doing what we're supposed to do, nothing else matters.' And that's what they stuck to."
"I told the guys you've got to keep your head up high, said Liberty head coach Mike Cable. 8-2 is a heck of a season. We deserved to be here, we deserve to play against any team. We didn't play the best game tonight, but we had our opportunities. That's the reality of this game: someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose. Tonight just wasn't our night."
Pittsburg's defense and special teams produced two interceptions, a forced-fumble recovery, and a recovered kickoff loose ball in a 42-18 win over Liberty. Sophomore Isaiah Harrison recorded an interception, recovered a fumble, and scored on a 23-yard touchdown run. Senior Truly Bell added an interception. Senior Carlos Torres and sophomore Javale Jones threw touchdown passes, including a one-handed catch by RJ Mosley Jr. and a 62-yard scoring strike to Kenneth Ward. Senior Siotame Finau scored two rushing touchdowns. Liberty recorded an interception by Jonathan Munoz and late passing scores from Zander Barrows. A Pittsburg defender required medical attention early in the game.
