1:44 ......GS.......... Bass 35 yard field goal In a season that saw the offense grab most of the attention with its gaudy numbers, it was the Liberty defense that showed up in its biggest game. A stout defensive effort led Liberty to a 23-16 win over Georgia Southern, Dec. 21, in the 2019 FBC MortgageCure Bowl. The win capped off the most memorable year in program history. Liberty completed its FBS reclassification process in August, received its first-ever bowl game invitation on Dec. 8 and walked away from Exploria Stadium with a bowl game trophy in hand. With the victory, the Flames became the third FBS transitioning team in NCAA history to win a bowl game during their first season at the FBS level. Flames defensive end Jessie Lemonier was named the 2019 Cure Bowl MVP, finishing the game with eight tackles, including two sacks.
