BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Liberty Flames defeated the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 30-24 in their 2020 season opener. For the first time in nearly 4 years Liberty had a different starting quarterback after Stephen “Buckshot” Calvert graduated a season ago. Western Kentucky made another late comeback attempt when Pigrome threw his third touchdown pass, for 36 yards, with 3:04 remaining in the game. While the Flames defense didn’t record any sacks, it did create havoc in the backfield with 16 tackles for loss. Liberty will now return home to prepare for a 1 p.m. kickoff against Florida International University at Williams Stadium next Saturday.

Liberty enters game week with Western Kentucky by naming Auburn transfer Malik Willis as their starting quarterback. Willis wins the initial battle with Maine grad transfer Chris Ferguson for the job. He will become the first quarterback not named “Buckshot” to start for the Flames in 43 games. He was Auburn’s backup for two seasons after being a prep star out of Atlanta, Georgia.
