Despite the win, Liberty did lose quarterback Malik Willis in the fourth quarter to an apparent arm injury. Maine transfer, Chris Ferguson, came in for the final two offensive drives. Willis returned to the sideline with a sling and ice on his left arm. The Flames move to 2-0 on the season and will now prepare for North Alabama next week.
