The Flames’ 2018 season opened with a win over Bowling Green. After leading 24-14 at halftime, Liberty went on to win by a score of 34-24. Treon Sibley led the receivers with 56 yards on three catches, and quarterback Kaidon Salter threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns. With 82 yards on 19 carries, Salter was also the team’s rushing leader.
The Flames’ second quarter performance against New Mexico State was crucial to their eventual 33-17 victory.

This time around, CJ Daniels had the most receptions (four) and the most receiving yards (129) and a touchdown.
The Bulls’ season opener against Wisconsin was a challenging matchup. Despite a strong first half, in which they trailed only 14-10, Buffalo ultimately fell short and was defeated 38-17. Mike Washington led the team in rushing with 52 yards on 12 carries, and Cole Snyder threw for 194 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
