Hugh Freeze and the Liberty Flames have their first program win over an SEC opponent. It was also Freeze’s first career win over Arkansas.
The Flames upset the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville on Saturday by a score of 21-19. Liberty were labeled as 14.5-point underdogs by most major sportsbooks in this contest.
Liberty have now won at least eight games in each of the last four seasons.
Flames quarterback Johnathan Bennett was questionable to play in this game after battling the flu all week, but ended up being a difference maker. Bennett finished with 15 completions on 25 attempts for 224 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.
