If not for Vanderbilt shocking the world by beating a top-ranked Alabama earlier this month, Kennesaw State might have the biggest upset of the 2024 college football season.
The winless Owls earned their first FBS victory in program history on Wednesday night in a 27-24 upset of undefeated Liberty.
As they darn well should’ve, the Kennesaw State fans in attendance for the historic home victory stormed the field in celebration. However, they were about a second too soon on their first attempt (really at no fault of their own).
There was about a second left on the clock when it looked like the game was over, and Liberty had the ball down three points. If there would be some sort of last-ditch Hail Mary in the team’s arsenal of plays, the Flames would technically have a second to try it.
Of course, whatever play Liberty ran didn’t work. Kennesaw State fans got their second attempt to storm the field victorious with no time on the clock. It all worked out in the end.
