Behind the play of Malik Willis, Liberty Outlasts FIU 36-34

It’s been 280 days since the FIU Panther football team last took the field in a live game - the September 26th season-opener marks the latest start in program history.

For Butch Davis, the question of who will quarterback the team following the James Morgan era isn’t quite answered, but it at least looks less murky. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Liberty’s quarterback situation is in the more than capable hands of Malik Willis.

The 6-1, 215-pound redshirt junior accounted for 360 total yards, including 280 and two touchdowns as a passer in Liberty’s (1-0) 36-34 thrilling victory over the Panthers.
