HERO Sports says the Liberty Flames are poised to open a thrilling new chapter in their football history.
Quote from the article:
"If the Flames maximize their talent and catch a few breaks, a seven- to
eight-win campaign (or more) during its transitional year is entirely
doable".
That may be a little optimistic, as the Flames went 6-5 in the Big South last year and lost to Jacksonville State, St Francis and Kennesaw State.
