Two of Liberty's top players from their primetime Thursday night victory over Coastal Carolina have been honored by Conference USA.
Earlier today, Conference USA named offensive lineman D.J. Geth as CUSA Offensive Lineman of the Week, while safety Ronald Moore, Jr., was named the CUSA Defensive Player of the Week.
The pair of Flames helped Liberty score 24-unanswered points during the second half to walk away with a 34-17 victory over their former Big South Conference rivals.
Geth had his best game of the season against the Chanticleers, receiving a 73.5 overall grade for the game as graded by PFF.com. Additionally, he has had an 80.0 or higher grade in pass blocking the last three games (84.3 against Coastal Carolina).
The senior also recorded his season-best rush blocking grade against Coastal Carolina (73.1) and ranked second among all CUSA offensive lineman in rush blocking last week.
The native of Spartanburg, S.C., helped the Flames rack up a season-best 485 total offensive yards, while rushing for a season-high 263 yards.
As the Flames' starting left guard, Geth has helped protect starting quarterback Deshawn Purdie who has not thrown an interception in 2026. Purdie leads Conference USA and ranks No. 27 nationally in passing efficiency (169.4).
Moore was part of a defensive unit that continues to dominate the second half of play, allowing Liberty to reel off three-straight victories.
The safety finished the game with a career high eight tackles (six solo, two assisted). He came into the contest with seven career tackles (five solo, two assisted).
The native of Griffin, Ga., helped the Flames to limit Coastal Carolina to 47 total offensive yards during the decisive second half. Liberty has shut out all four of its opponents in the fourth quarter in 2026 and is outscoring opponents, 42-0, during the final 15 minutes of play.
Moore was part of a defensive backfield that limited Coastal Carolina quarterback Deuce Bailey to 213 passing yards after he was averaging 275 yards per game.
Bailey had not thrown an interception during the first three games of 2026 and the Flames picked him off two times on the night.
