Liberty became bowl eligible for a fourth straight season thanks to their win on Saturday over Gardner-Webb, 21-20. The Flames were expected to beat the FCS opponent by a much wider margin, but due to inconsistency on offense, the Runnin’ Bulldogs were able to keep things close.

The Flames will play host to BRYU this coming Saturday with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and televised on ESPNU.
