Stephen Calvert, Liberty Top Georgia Southern 23-16 to Win 2019 Cure Bowl

The Liberty Flames won a postseason game just Just two years after their move up to FBS, defeating the Georgia Southern Eagles in the 2019 Cure Bowl at Orlando's Exploria Stadium on Saturday.

Quarterback Stephen Calvert led the way for Liberty's offense. The senior wasn't perfect with two turnovers, but he was able to break the 300-yard mark for the first time in four games dating back to Nov. 9 against BYU.

The defense did a terrific job of stifling Georgia Southern's potent rushing attack. The Eagles had 154 yards, but they needed 46 carries to get there.
