Football has returned on the Hill and 4,276 fans came out to witness the affair between the Hilltoppers (0-2) and Liberty University Flames (1-0).
The last time the two programs met was 24 years ago on Oct. 19, 1996, with a Flames victory and this contest ended the same with Liberty winning 30-24.
“Obviously [it’s] disappointing to come up short. Felt like we were always lagging behind,” head coach Tyson Helton said. “ A lot of things we have to fix, got to get better at and we’ll keep pushing on.”
Graduate transfer quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome made his home debut at the 14:53 minute mark of the first quarter.
