However, the Flames have played 16 previous games against current American members, prior to the formation of the conference. Liberty is 0-1 alltime against Connecticut, 3-8 versus UCF and 0-4 against USF. 2 - SMU, under second-year head coach Chad Morris, is already halfway to its win total from 2015, when the Mustangs went SMU opened its 2016 campaign with a win at North Texas before losing a decision to nationally-ranked Baylor. The Mustangs golden era came in the early 1980s, when Pony Express running backs Eric Dickerson and Craig James led SMU to a record in 1981 and SMU is the last of three straight first-time opponents Liberty is facing to start the 2016 season, following Virginia Tech and Jacksonville. Saturday s game will be the Flames third all-time matchup with a Texas opponent, with both previous meetings coming against Texas State. 4 - SMU will not leave the state of Texas for the first four weeks of the season, including road trips to North Texas and Baylor and home matchups with the Flames and TCU.

Liberty s two touchdowns both came in the first half, including a 57-yard pass from Travis Wilemon to James McKnight and a 6-yard carry by Adrian Cherry. For the game, Wilemon was 15-of-25 passing for 201 yards and a TD. Cherry paced the Flames ground attack with 20 carries for 85 yards and a score. Liberty forced five turnovers by Texas State. However, the Flames committed four turnovers of their own.

Abnar had three in a row spanning Oct. 4-25, If Hickson accomplishes the feat, he would be the first Liberty freshman running back with consecutive 100-yard games since Aldreakis Allen on Oct. 3 and 17, A Liberty Win Would... Give the Flames their fifth all-time victory over an FBS opponent and extend their streak to three consecutive seasons with an FBS win.
