Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you likely know by now that the Liberty Flames will be making the jump from FCS to FBS in 2018. They will be departing the Big South Conference of the FCS after this coming year to play as an FBS independent.

Week 3: Norfolk State Spartans (MEAC)
Week 7: Troy Trojans (Sun Belt)
Week 8: Idaho State Bengals (Big Sky)
Week 9: Bye
Week 10: at UMass Minutemen (Independent)
Week 13: New Mexico State Aggies (Independent)
