WATCH: Liberty’s shocking upset over Baylor causes president to cancel class, students go wild

Liberty shocked the college football world on Saturday night when it held off Baylor 48-45 for the biggest upset win in program history.

It was also a major upset in terms of betting odds, as Liberty was a 33.5-point underdog coming into the game.

The party carried over into Sunday as the Flames’ football team was apparently greeted by a crowd of students at the team’s football stadium.

Then, to help the celebration continue, Liberty president Jerry Falwell Jr. cancelled classes on Monday:

Liberty did not have much of a chance to beat Baylor on the road, according to the ESPN Football Power Index:
