The ACC has announced that Liberty’s game against NC State, scheduled for Nov. 21 will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and be televised on ACC Regional Sports Networks. This will be the first time this season the Flames have had an evening game, as the team’s first eight games have all been noon or 1 p.m. kickoffs.
The Flames are 7-0 on the season and ranked No. 22 in both the AP and Coaches Top 25 Polls following the team’s win over Virginia Tech, 38-35, this past Saturday. Liberty will be looking for its third straight win over an ACC opponent when the Flames take on the Wolfpack.
NC State is currently 4-3 on the season following their 44-41 loss at home against No. 11 Miami this past Saturday. The Wolfpack own wins over Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Virginia, and Duke this season with their three losses coming to Virginia Tech, North Carolina, and Miami. NC State is scheduled to face Florida State this coming Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on the ACC Network.
This will be the second ever meeting between Liberty and NC State. The Wolfpack defeated the Flames in Raleigh, 43-21, on Sept. 3, 2011.
