Saturday's Top Storylines

- Liberty has won a program-record 12 consecutive home games at Williams Stadium dating back to 2019. That is the sixth longest active home winning streak in FBS football.
- ODU is the first of four Conference USA opponents on the Flames' schedule this season. Liberty has won three straight meetings with C-USA foes and is 4-1 all-time versus Conference USA squads.
- In his third season as Liberty's head coach, Hugh Freeze has become the fastest Flames coach ever to record 20 victories (in 26 games), reaching the milestone during last week's 21-13 victory at Troy.
- Liberty QB Malik Willis appears on numerous preseason watch lists including the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. He has totaled 519 yards of offense (371 passing/148 rushing) and five TDs (3 passing/2 rushing) during the season's first two games.

- Mark the second week in a row that Liberty has defeated a team that it also beat in its first FBS season, as the Flames downed Troy 22-16 in 2018 and 21-13 last Saturday.
- Give Liberty a 3-0 start or better in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1989 (6-0) and 1990 (4-0).
