Kennesaw State pulled off a historic upset by defeating previously undefeated Liberty 27-24. This victory marks Kennesaw State's first win over an FBS team since joining the FBS this season. Liberty, which was favored by 27 points, saw its 17-game regular-season winning streak come to an end. The game was notable for its dramatic shifts, with Kennesaw State leading 21-17 heading into the fourth quarter and extending their lead with a field goal. Liberty managed to cut the lead to 27-24 with 1:49 remaining, but Kennesaw State held on for the win. This loss significantly impacts Liberty's CFP hopes and is the first time since 2001 that a winless team has defeated a 5-0 or better team. The game aired on CBS Sports Network, and Kennesaw State's head coach Brian Bohannon, who has been with the team for all 10 seasons, celebrated the significant victory.
