If you skipped homecoming, here's the short version: Liberty beat New Mexico State 30-14 on Saturday. The Aggies took a 7-0 lead on the opening drive, a 24-yard touchdown pass from Trey Hedden to AJ Williams III. Liberty answered with three Chase Reeves field goals, then led 16-7 at halftime after a 15-yard touchdown pass to Makai Jackson.

NM State came in off a 24-0 loss to Jacksonville State, its first home shutout since 2010. Saturday's third quarter was scoreless. Then Hedden hit Williams from 5 yards out to make it 16-14, and Kam Davis and Peyton Jones scored runs to seal it. Williams' two touchdowns weren't enough. Hedden threw two interceptions.

  • Records: NMSU 3-6, 2-3 ; Liberty 8-1, 5-0
  • Time of possession: Liberty 37:05, NMSU 22:55
  • Series: Liberty is 8-2, with a four-game win streak
