Kam Davis scores twice as Liberty routs FIU

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Former Dougherty High School standout Kam Davis scored two rushing touchdowns Saturday afternoon as Liberty rolled past Florida International 49-10 in a Homecoming victory at Williams Stadium.

Davis, an Albany native, finished with 20 rushing yards and two touchdowns as the Flames extended their winning streak to seven games and improved to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in Conference USA play.

Liberty’s offense scored a season-high six rushing touchdowns despite managing just 145 yards on the ground. Quarterback Ethan Vasko also ran for two scores, while Jaylon Coleman and Kanye Udoh added one apiece.

The Flames dominated on both sides of the ball, piling up 391 yards of offense while holding FIU to just 210 yards, the fewest Liberty has allowed an opponent this season.

Quarterback Deshawn Purdie completed 16 of 19 passes for 227 yards, connecting on his final 12 attempts. Wide receiver Makai Jackson caught six passes for 86 yards.

Liberty’s defense, which entered the game ranked 19th nationally in total defense, was led by linebacker Deuce Spurlock with seven tackles. Dillano Glaud added five.

The victory gave Liberty its first seven-game winning streak since 2023, when the Flames opened the season with 13 consecutive wins. It also marked the program’s eighth straight Homecoming victory.

FIU fell to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in conference play.
