The Flames will still travel to Syracuse on Oct. 17 and NC State on Nov. 21. Liberty’s matchup against in-state foe Virginia Tech has been moved from Sept. 5 to Nov. 7, keeping in line with the ACC’s newly announced protocols for the 2020 season.
On July 29, the ACC announced it would allow its conference members to play their first game of the season during the week of Sept. 7-12.
Liberty currently has 11 games on its 2020 schedule. The Flames lost their first opponent of the season to the COVID-19 pandemic when UConn announced on Wednesday its football program would not compete in 2020. Liberty and UConn were scheduled to play in East Hartford, Conn. on Oct. 31.
