The Liberty Flames defeated the Morehead State Eagles in their home opener, 58-17. If anyone was worried there would be a letdown after the Baylor game, those worries were quickly laid to rest. Liberty cruised to a lead of 24-0 at the end of the first quarter and a 45-10 halftime score.
Lead by budding star quarterback Stephen “Buckshot” Calvert, the sophomore only threw two more incomplete passes as he did touchdowns in an extremely efficient night as he went 13 of 21 for 281 yards with five touchdowns and no turnovers. Receiver B.J. Farrow was the top target for Calvert, hauling in six catches for 177 yards and three scores.
