Liberty entered its Week 10 game 30th in the country in passing offense. The football independent’s opponent, fellow independent UMass, came in 119th nationally.
Even without the headline, you knew where this was headed, right?
Through a mere two quarters of play, Flames quarterback Stephen Calvert has thrown for a whopping 441 yards. Calvert, whose nickname is, appropriately enough, Buckshot, has also thrown four touchdown passes as the Flames (5-3) hold a lopsided 49-14 halftime lead on the woebegone Minutemen (1-7).
The 441 yards already marks a career-high for the senior. His previous high-water mark was 417 yards against New Mexico in late September of last year.
All told, Calvert has 10 career 300- or 400-yard passing games, with five of those coming in Hugh Freeze‘s first season at the school.
