The Flames are looking to return to a bowl game for the third straight season after Hugh Freeze led the program to bowl appearances in its first two seasons as a full FBS member. Liberty has only made an appearance in the Cure Bowl in Orlando, Florida, winning that game against a Sun Belt opponent in each of the past two seasons. In 2019, the Flames knocked off Georgia Southern, and in 2020 Liberty defeated former Big South rival Coastal Carolina in overtime.
Liberty is back in action this week taking on ULM from Monroe, Louisiana. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST on ESPN+. UL Monroe is 2-3 on the season and coming off a 55-21 loss at home to Georgia State.
