December 31, 2024The Liberty Flames are going bowling for the sixth consecutive season. However, second year head coach Jamey Chadwell and his Flames are seen as a failure this year after going 13-1 and making the Fiesta Bowl in 2023. Still, Chadwell led the Flames to their third-best record since becoming an FBS program in 2018. Also becoming something of a bowl season regular are the Buffalo Bulls. First-year head coach Pete Lembo is leading Buffalo to its fifth bowl game in the last seven years. Buffalo went 8-4 this season after flopping to 3-9 in the 2023 campaign.
