Went back and checked, and we actually beat Liberty in the opener that year, before heading down to Bristol in week 2.

Still, last year's slow start makes me wary. Fumbling away a game vs a very beatable BC team, looking very sluggish in wins over ODU and Furman, then getting drummed by Duke... just saying, being favored by 10 over NC State seems a bit of a reach when we don't even know who will take the field in a maroon and orange uniform on Saturday.
