Liberty: 2025 Week 16 recap

Liberty sits at 4–8 after a 48–42 home loss to Kennesaw State in Week 14, a result that underscored the Flames' struggles down the stretch. The rating stands at −9, placing them 102nd nationally—a reflection of inconsistency that's defined their season. With no remaining games on the schedule, Liberty's year is effectively complete, leaving little room for momentum shifts or redemptive moments. The loss to an FCS opponent at home was the kind of result that will linger as the program heads into the offseason. GIE's assessment suggests work ahead across multiple fronts for Liberty to climb back into competitive territory next season.
