LYNCHBURG, Va. — Stephen Calvert threw two touchdown passes and Solomon Ajayi returned an interception 26 yards for a score as Liberty jumped out to a big lead and held on for a 28-21 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday.
It was the second of two games the two NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision independent schools played this season. New Mexico State won the first game, 49-41, in Las Cruces on Oct. 6.
The Flames (5-6) took a 7-0 lead on Calvert’s 5-yard TD toss to Antonio Gandy-Golden. Alex Probert kicked a 25-yard field goal and Ajayi had his pick-6 on the Aggies’ ensuing possession just 8:51 into the game.
New Mexico State got on the scoreboard on the ensuing kickoff when Jason Huntley raced 85 yards to the end zone. Javahn Fergurson picked off Calvert and raced 37 yards for a score with 37 seconds left in the opening quarter to pull the Aggies (3-9) within 17-14.
Liberty added a 51-yard thirdquarter field goal by Probert with 2:06 left, and after the Aggies turned the ball over on downs, Calvert connected with B.J. Farrow for a 31-yard score and a 28-14 halftime lead. NMSU’s final score came when Josh Adkins hit Naveon Mitchell for a 4-yard TD with 1:46 left to play.
