Calvert had 238 yards and two touchdowns passing for the Flames (3-3). Farrow had 101 yards receiving.

Calvert threw a 29-yard touchdown to Khaleb Coleman midway through the second quarter and Peytton Pickett ran for another score late in the half to give Liberty a 14-10 edge at halftime. Troy scored in the second half on a pair of Tyler Sumpter field goals to take a 16-14 lead late in the fourth.
