Liberty remains undefeated and hands Jacksonville State first CUSA loss, 31-13

Entering Tuesday, 14 FBS teams sported undefeated records.

And exiting Tuesday, 14 FBS teams still sport undefeated records.

Liberty was living life on the edge last week, requiring a goal line stand to stave off winless Sam Houston in Lynchburg. But that scare was not a sign of things to come for the Flames, which stormed into a road environment and comfortably put Jacksonville State away in the second half, 31-13. The Flames are the sixth team to clinch bowl eligibility this season, joining Georgia, Louisville, Michigan, Oklahoma, and USC.

Jamey Chadwell’s team ranked second in the country in rushing yards per game prior to Tuesday, and that facet of the offense carried the team in the three-score victory.
