Kam Davis had an impressive performance for Liberty, rushing for 126 yards and a touchdown in their 28-23 victory over Middle Tennessee. This win marked the Flames' ninth consecutive victory and secured their spot in the Conference USA football championship game on December 4th. Middle Tennessee's loss to Western Kentucky earlier in the day eliminated them from contention for the first-place tie.

Kam Davis' 23-yard touchdown run extended Liberty's lead to 21-10 in the third quarter. The Flames scored two more touchdowns after Middle Tennessee's turnovers in their own territory. Roman Gagliano contributed with a 23-yard TD pass to Ziyon Butler, cutting the lead to 21-17. Deshawn Purdie's 10-yard TD pass to Makai Jackson extended the lead to 28-17 in the final quarter.

Neo Clifton made an impressive catch for a 14-yard touchdown to bring the score to 28-23 with 6:18 left on the clock, but Liberty maintained possession and sealed the win. Gagliano threw for 202 yards and two scores, while Cam’ron Lacy had 97 yards on 10 catches. Liberty's next game is against Western Kentucky at home on the following Saturday.
