Many CUSA challengers have taken their best shots at the Liberty Flames during this late September and October slate of weeknight action. But just like the past few weeks, another team tried and failed to stain the unblemished mark of Jamey Chadwell’s team.
Liberty (7-0, 5-0 CUSA) remains one of 11 unbeaten teams in the country after outlasting Middle Tennessee (2-6, 1-3 CUSA), 42-35, in a back-and-forth shootout. Two key strengths have defined the Flames’ 7-0 start, and both facets were on full display Wednesday night in Lynchburg.
One was the run game. Liberty entered Wednesday night’s contest ranked second in the FBS in rushing yards per game at 253.
