Tough blow for Liberty. You know it has to hurt Sigmon to not be able to play in this game. Not just for the typical reasons, but also for the fact it’s homecoming against the coach that recruited him to play at Liberty. The Flames will be down to their 3rd string Mike LB with O’Grady out as well. Expect Dylan Lewellyn to slide over with Nick Newman inserted into the starting lineup. Also, look for Austin Kaigler to get most of the reps behind D.J. Abnar at running back.
Liberty coach Turner Gill says FB Nicky Fualaau has been reinstated from his suspension. Will play against Richmond Saturday.
