An agreement has been reached for BYU to replace Liberty as Coastal Carolina opponent this Saturday after COVID-19 issues prevented the Flames from playing in the game, sources told ESPN.
Liberty (9-1) had several players and staff members to test positive or be quarantined this week because of COVID-19, including star quarterback Malik Willis. The Flames had still hoped to play in the game, but school medical officials would not allow it and paused all team-related activities after Wednesday's test results were returned Thursday morning.
BYU (9-0) and Coastal Carolina (9-0) are both ranked this week in the College Football Playoff rankings.
