Every score in the game came on a touchdown. The Flames scored the final 14 points of the game after the Aggies had rallied from down 35-21 in the third quarter.
Kaidon Salter had a huge game for Liberty. The quarterback threw for 315 yards and 2 TDs. He also rushed for 165 yards — on only 12 carries — and the insurance TD, a 35-yard run.

Liberty remains in the running for a Group of 5 slot in a New Year’s Bowl. Much of that hinges on the SMU-Tulane AAC Championship Game on Saturday because the Green Wave are ranked ahead of the Flames.
