The Liberty Flames have ignited a season to remember, standing undefeated at 11-0. They bring an offensive onslaught that's both diverse and effective, averaging a colossal 501.2 yards per game, which is best in the conference. Their rushing attack, spearheaded by running back Quinton Cooley with 1,168 yards, has been nothing short of spectacular, placing them best in the conference with 282.2 rushing yards per game.

The defense, bolstered by a strong front, has been effective in applying pressure, leading to crucial turnovers and stifling opponent offenses. However, the injury list, including key players like T.

This performance, coupled with their stout defense, underlines their capability to dominate on both sides of the ball.
