The Liberty Flames overcame a two score deficit and Malik Willis injury in the second half to come from behind and beat North Texas, 35-26. The Flames are now bowl eligible with six wins on the season with a 6-2 record on the year. Here’s a look at what bowls Liberty is currently being projected into.

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 currently in the midst of a multi-year agreement with ESPN Events which could place the Flames in one of at least six bowl games: Boca Raton Bowl (FAU Stadium; Boca Raton, Fla.), Camellia Bowl (Cramton Bowl; Montgomery, Ala.), , Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Albertsons Stadium; Boise, Idaho), Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl (Toyota Stadium; Frisco, Texas), Myrtle Beach Bowl (Brooks Stadium; Conway, S.C.) and New Mexico Bowl (Dreamstyle Stadium; Albuquerque, N.M.).

Liberty is back in action this week taking on UMass at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, Virginia. Kickoff is scheduled for noon on ESPN3. UMass is 1-6 on the season and are coming off a 59-3 loss at Florida State on Saturday.
