Preview: Virginia Tech Hokies vs the Liberty University Flames

A much needed warmup that could get hotter than we’d like

Didn’t I just write up something about this las season? Oh, that was baseball, and the Flames are a much more capable opponent than the Flames football team. Well, that’s the conventional wisdom, anyway.

The Liberty Flames are a newer member of the Big South Conference of Division 1 FCS. The Conference only added football in 2002, and Liberty was one of the early teams that represented the sport. Radford University, our much beloved Pulaski County neighbor is a member, but Radford doesn’t have a varsity football team.
