ECU is much improved and will be part of an intriguing non-conference stretch for Liberty
After a CUSA championship last season and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, the Liberty Flames are off to a 3-0 start once again. The East Carolina Pirates will be the first of two tough matchups for the Flames in the coming weeks. Led by Missouri transfer Jake Garcia, ECU will test the Flames with what will be the toughest regular season opponent they have faced since joining a conference.
Kaidon Salter has been good through the first three weeks, but nothing like what we saw in 2023. Salter has completed 47 of 71 passes for 726 yards and three touchdowns. He has yet to throw an intercpetion this season. A big reason for the Flames lack of a pass game has been the departure of star wideout CJ Daniels. Treon Sibley has been crucial in the Flames' pass game this season, catching 14 passes for 341 yards and one touchdown.
Garcia does rank second amongst the American Athletic Conference in passing yards, fourth in completion percentage, tied for second in passing touchdowns and second in average passing yards per game.
