Jacksonville State powered past Liberty 34-24 behind a strong ground attack featuring two touchdowns from Cam Cook and scores from Andrew Paul and Gavin Wimsatt. The Gamecocks built a 24-10 lead through three quarters before holding off a Flames rally sparked by Evan Dickens' 52-yard touchdown run and Ethan Vasko's second scoring pass of the game. Garrison Rippa's late field goal sealed the victory for Jacksonville State in front of the home crowd at AmFirst Stadium.
