Liberty Flames Face Off Against New Mexico State Aggies in Thrilling Football Showdown
August 9, 2024
Las Cruces, NM — In a highly anticipated matchup, the Liberty Flames traveled to Las Cruces to take on the New Mexico State Aggies in a game that promised to deliver excitement and intensity. The clash of these two teams brought together fans eager to see how Liberty’s potent offense would fare against New Mexico State’s formidable defense.
Key Moments:
One of the game’s pivotal moments came at the end of the 4th quarter when New Mexico State lined up to kick a game winning field goal, with 4 seconds remaining and the game tied at 14, and Liberty blocks the kick to force OT.
Liberty elected to play defense first and New Mexico States offense took the field. New Mexico State run game was looking impressive and ended up scoring quickly. Liberty also answers with a quick Rushing TD for Quinton Cooley.
Going into the 2nd OT, Liberty looked to take their first lead of the game. They do so on a 5-yard QB run by Kaidon Salter to put the Flames up 28-21. New Mexico State offense looked to be in trouble early to start their Drive and had themselves in a 3rd and long. Hogan ends up connecting with Johnston down to the 5-yard line on an insane catch. That didn't last long, on the next play Eldric Griffin intercepts Hogan and secures the 28-21 OT thriller victory.
There are times when you want to put your controller through the wall – this was one of those times. The Aggies lined up to kick the game-winning FG with four seconds left in regulation and…BLOCKED. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!! As a gamer, you get put into a semi-state of shock but at the same time regroup to play overtime all the while muttering to yourself “The EA God’s hate me.” We would regroup and score first in OT but we failed in the second OT as Liberty got their TD – a pick of course. Coach Oldschoola “This is one we felt we gave away…and it hurts.”
NMSU will get back at it and had some good performances to build on for the season.
GG Liberty!
