Analyzing Past Performances


A deep dive into the Liberty Flames' recent games reveals a team that's both resilient and adaptable. Despite a narrow loss to Sam Houston with an 18-20 score on November 29, 2024, where their defense showcased strength with two sacks and four tackles for loss alongside an impressive safety by Donovan Dozier, it's clear that Liberty has been on the brink of greatness. This defensive prowess was complemented by Max Morgan's punting excellence, ensuring field position battles often tipped in their favor.


On offense, despite challenges in passing efficiency against Sam Houston, Liberty’s ground game proved formidable. Quinton Cooley and Kaidon Salter demonstrated their ability to break through defenses, hinting at untapped potential that could be pivotal against Buffalo.


Their performance on November 23 against Western Kentucky further cements this narrative. Dominating with a 38-21 victory highlighted by an explosive rushing attack amassing 419 yards and four touchdowns showcases what the Flames can do when they find their rhythm. Their defense also made significant plays with three interceptions contributing directly to this comprehensive win.


Against UMass on November 16, Liberty narrowly edged out with a thrilling 35-34 victory. The game was marked by high tension and showcased Liberty’s resilience under pressure. With five rushing touchdowns reflecting a versatile ground attack led by Quinton Cooley’s stellar performance of three touchdowns alone, it's evident that when Liberty focuses on their running game they're nearly unstoppable.
