Kennesaw State shocked previously undefeated Liberty 27-24 on Wednesday night to win its first-ever college football game against an FBS opponent.

The Owls entered the game with an 0-6 record on the season and were 27-point underdogs, but after taking the lead on a six-yard rushing touchdown by running back Qua Ashley in the third quarter, they never relinquished it.

Liberty was a perfect 5-0 entering the game, including 3-0 in Conference USA action, but the Flames' lack of discipline came back to haunt them Wednesday, as they were flagged nine times for 100 yards.
