This week, Liberty’s defensive coaches have been watching Gibson and Durante blow past man coverage and make athletic catches for touchdowns in the Georgia Southern game. In the coming weeks, it will be the same deal for other defensive coaches as they begin putting together their game plans to stop Gibson and Durante.
Gibson caught three passes for 130 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles, and Durante, a true freshman making his college debut, hauled in three passes for 121 yards and a TD. It’s the first time in school history a duo making their initial college start managed to produce 100-yard receiving performances in the same game.
