Taking a Peak at <strong>Presbyterian</strong><br />
The Blue Hose enter the contest riding a four-game winning streak, including backto-back<br />
wins against Big South Conference members VMI and Coastal Carolina. Last<br />
weekend, <strong>Presbyterian</strong> overcame a 24-point deficit to defeat Coastal Carolina in overtime,<br />
41-34, upping its record to 5-3 on the year.<br />
<strong>Presbyterian</strong> has begun its transition to full-time NCAA FCS Division I membership<br />
this year and be a full-fledged Big South Conference member, starting in 2011.<br />
The Blue Hose boast the most potent passing attack at the FCS level this year. If<br />
they were eligible for national rankings, <strong>Presbyterian</strong> would lead the nation in passing<br />
yards (Brown currently does, averaging 344.2 yards passing per game).<br />
<strong>Presbyterian</strong> is averaging 354.9 passing yards per game, to go along with 25 touchdown<br />
passes. Quarterback Tim Webb has passed for 1,761 yards and 15 touchdowns,<br />
with the junior completing 70.1 percent of his pass attempts (122-of-174). Back-up signal<br />
caller Grayson Mullins has thrown for 980 yards and nine scores.<br />
Ten different receivers have pulled in touchdown passes, led by Terrance Butler.<br />
The junior sits atop the team's receiving list, having collected 762 receiving yards and<br />
six touchdowns. When the Blue Hose decided to go to the ground game, S.J. Worrell is<br />
the athlete they look to. The running back leads the squad, with 527 rushing yards and<br />
five touchdowns over the first eight games of the season.<br />
Linebacker Chris Bowman leads the Blue Hose's defensive efforts, having tallied 54<br />
tackles, including five for loss and three pass break ups. He is followed by free safety<br />
Caleb Massengill, who has 52 tackles to his credit, including a team-best 25 solo stops.<br />

Fancy New Field For The Flames<br />
During the summer of 2006, the Liberty University <strong>Athletics</strong> Department made a<br />
concerted effort to upgrade several athletics facilities, including a new playing surface<br />
at Williams Stadium. State-of-the-art FieldTurf was installed at Williams Stadium, replacing<br />
the old AstroTurf which had been used since the opening of the facility in 1989.<br />
FieldTurf is the latest innovation in artificial playing surfaces and is the surface of<br />
choice for 24 NFL stadiums, including Ford Field, where Super Bowl XL was played, and<br />
at over 40 NCAA stadiums across the country.<br />
Tracking the 100-Career Tackle Club<br />
The Flames entered the <strong>2007</strong> season with two defensive members of the squad<br />
having cracked the 100-career tackle club. Seniors Steven Ackley and Brandon Duke<br />
each have tallied more than 100-career stops, led by Duke's 135 tackles, followed by<br />
Ackley’s 122 tackles.<br />
Liberty lost a key defender last year when Manny Rojas graduated from the program.<br />
The four-year standout finished his career with 348 tackles, which ranks second<br />
best all-time in the Big South Conference.<br />
Looking to fill the shoes vacated by Rojas is junior Nick Hursky, who joined Ackley<br />
and Duke as a member of the 100-tackle club against Tusculum on Sept. 3. The linebacker<br />
tallied a team-best 12 tackles, the second-highest single-game mark of his<br />
career in the contest, pushing him over the century total for his career.<br />
Since the season-opener, Liberty has had four defenders join the club. Against<br />
Shippensburg, Stevie Ray Lloyd pushed his career total over the century mark, followed<br />
by Patrick Calvary against William & Mary on Sept. 15.<br />
The next two defenders to join the club were defensive backfield teammates. Both<br />
Pat Dickerson and Ryan Greiser moved over the 100-career tackle mark against Toledo.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> FLAMES FOOTBALL GAME NOTES<br />
Moving Over the Million Fan Mark<br />
Last year's Western Carolina game on Nov. 4, 2006, marked a historic day in the<br />
annals of Liberty University. The 8,286 fans in attendance helped the Flames move over<br />
the 1,000,000 mark in home attendance since the program's inception in 1973.<br />
Noting Last Year’s Attendance Numbers<br />
Liberty recorded a school and Big South Conference mark for home attendance on<br />
Oct. 14, 2006, as 15,631 fans saw the Flames' Homecoming game against William &<br />
Mary. The following week, Liberty had 12,056 fans attend the Flames' conference opener<br />
against Gardner-Webb, marking the sixth-highest attendence in school history and<br />
the third most in league history.<br />
Liberty's previous school record for highest home attendance was 12,623 against<br />
Charleston Southern (Oct. 3, 1998) and the previous conference high was the 12,273<br />
fans who saw Liberty's come-from-behind victory over VMI (Oct. 4, 2003).<br />
Liberty now holds nine of the Top 10 single-game attendance figures in Big South<br />
Conference history, including the top eight tallies.<br />
Last Year’s Attendance Ranks Among Nation's Best<br />
Liberty's attendance numbers last year not only ranked among the best in program<br />
history, but the figures were some of the best in the country.<br />
The Flames ranked No. 13 nationally by filling Williams Stadium to a 92.73 capacity<br />
average per home game. Liberty also ranked No. 17 in the country in total home<br />
attendance (66,765) and No. 27 in average home attendance per game (11,128).<br />
WOW - What Wonderful Crowds<br />
The excitement of a new brand of Flames football quickly grew during the 2006 season.<br />
Evidence of the excitement was repeatedly seen in last year's attendance figures,<br />
as three of Liberty's six home games ranked in the Top 15 in the school's attendance<br />
annals. On Oct. 14, the Flames set a Liberty and Big South record, as 15,631 fans saw<br />
the Flames battle in-state opponent William & Mary in the school's annual Homecoming<br />
game.<br />
Larger home crowds have proven to be an advantage for the Flames, as Liberty has<br />
posted a 15-9 record in Williams Stadium home games where 10,000 or more fans have<br />
attended.<br />
During the Flames’ <strong>2007</strong> home opener against Tusculum, Liberty packed 14,925<br />
fans into Williams Stadium, the second-largest home crowd in program history, followed<br />
by the seventh-largest crowd with 12,331 fans to see the Shippensburg game. Last<br />
weekend, Liberty packed 13,893 fans in at home, ranking third in school history.<br />

Running With the Flames<br />
Liberty's 115 rushing yards against VMI in its season finale last Nov. 18 not only<br />
helped Liberty complete a nationally-renowned turnabout. The century-plus yardage<br />
total pushed Liberty over the 2,000-yard season mark for the fifth time in program history.<br />
The Flames finished the year with 2,035 rushing yards, ranking No. 19 nationally<br />
by averaging 185.0 yards per game. This marked the fifth-best team rushing performance<br />
in program history and the fourth time in the last five years Liberty has eclipsed<br />
the 2,000-yard mark on the ground. This season, Liberty has rushed for more than a<br />
100 yards during six out of the first seven contests of the year. The Flames ranked No.<br />
22 in the county in average rushing yards per game (202.1).<br />

The Series<br />
Today's contest renews an old rivalry, which originated when Liberty and<br />
<strong>Presbyterian</strong> played each other four-consecutive seasons during the mid1980s. Liberty<br />
won the first meeting, 24-12, in Clinton, S.C., on Oct. 30, 1982.<br />
However, the Blue Hose claimed victories in the next three match-ups, including a<br />
pair of victories in Lynchburg, to build a 3-1 series advantage.<br />

The Coaches<br />
Liberty is under the direction of head coach Danny Rocco, who is 10-8 in his second<br />
year at the helm of the Flames football program. Last season, the second-year skipper<br />
was duly rewarded for posting the nation's No. 1 turnaround from the previous season,<br />
as he was named 2006 Big South Coach of the Year.<br />
Bobby Bentley is in his first year as a collegiate head coach, having guided the Blue<br />
Hose to a 5-3 mark during his inaugural campaign. Prior to his arrival in Clinton, S.C.,<br />
Bentley served as the head coach at James F. Byrnes High School, where he compiled<br />
a 107-52 record over 12 years. At Byrnes, he tied a South Carolina record by winning<br />
four-consecutive Class AAAA Division II state football championships (2002-05).<br />
Five to Guide the Way<br />
On April 21, <strong>2007</strong>, midway through the Flames' annual spring game, Liberty took its<br />
traditional halftime, where head coach Danny Rocco thanked the crowd for attending.<br />
Rocco made several special presentations during the ceremonial break, including<br />
naming his <strong>2007</strong> team captains. Offensively, he named quarterback Brock Smith (#13),<br />
along with a pair of offensive linemen in Eddie Pinigis (#73) and Stephen Sene (#68).<br />
On the defensive side of the ball, Rocco tabbed defensive end Steven Ackley (#45)<br />
and linebacker Stevie Ray Lloyd (#11) as captains.<br />
Smith and Hursky Share Gado Award Honors<br />
During halftime of Liberty's annual spring game on April 21, <strong>2007</strong>, head coach<br />
Danny Rocco continued his annual tradition by announcing the winners of the Samkon<br />
Gado Award.<br />
The honor is bestowed yearly upon the athlete the coaching staff feels showed the<br />
greatest improvement during spring practice. Last spring's award was shared by two<br />
players, as quarterback Brock Smith and linebacker Nick Hursky were named the <strong>2007</strong><br />
recipients. In 2006, fullback Chris Stokes became the award's first honoree.<br />
New Schemes Succeed In 2006<br />
For the first time in program history, the Flames ran a 3-4 defense last season,<br />
which resulted in Liberty setting eight defensive school records, including fewest points<br />
allowed (172). The Flames finished the year ranked No. 12 nationally in scoring<br />
defense, allowing just 15.6 points per game.<br />
On the other side of the ball, Liberty ran a two-back set, rushing for a combined<br />
2,035 yards behind the tag-team efforts of Rashad Jennings (1,020 yards and 10 touchdowns)<br />
and Zach Terrell (673 yards and 13 touchdowns).

Preseason Top Dog<br />
For the first time in program history, Liberty's football team headed into the year as<br />
the preseason favorite to win the Big South Conference title. The Flames were named<br />
this year's preseason favorite at the annual Big South <strong>Football</strong> Kickoff Media Luncheon<br />
in late July.<br />
Liberty received 12 out of 20 first-place votes from a voting panel which included<br />
members of the media, the league's head coaches and sports information directors. The<br />
Flames are just the third team to be named preseason favorites in the six years the<br />
league has sponsored the sport. Gardner-Webb was the conference's pick in 2002 and<br />
2003, followed by Coastal Carolina's three-year run (2004-06) as the yearly preseason<br />
favorite.<br />

Record-Setting Season<br />
During Liberty's first year under head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames rewrote the<br />
program's record book, tying or breaking 12 single-season records. Offensively, Liberty<br />
shattered three records, including those for fewest interceptions thrown (5), fewest fumbles<br />
(10) and fewest fumbles lost (3), while also setting a school record with three kickoffs<br />
returned for a touchdown.<br />
Liberty did most of its damage to the record book on the defensive side of the field,<br />
setting records for most shutouts (3), fewest points allowed (172), fewest rushing first<br />
downs allowed (79), fewest rushing yards allowed (1,433), fewest averaged rushing<br />
yards allowed per game (130.3), fewest rushing touchdowns allowed (12), fewest total<br />
touchdowns allowed (21) and fewest total offensive yards allowed per game (306.6).<br />

new game day tradition. Members of the University Police force raised a No. 71 flag<br />
underneath the Liberty Flames flag above the South end zone, just prior to the team taking<br />
the field, bringing the 14,925 fans in attendance to their feet.<br />
The new tradition will become a permanent part of the Flames' pregame ceremonies<br />
at all home football games. A different person will receive the honor of raising<br />
the flag at each game. Today's honoree will be Andy Barrick, Liberty University's<br />
Director of Alumni Affairs.<br />
This year's honorees:<br />
Sept. 1 (Tusculum) - Liberty University Police force<br />
Sept. 8 (Shippensburg) - Dr. Elmer Towns, Liberty University co-founder<br />
Sept. 29 (St. Francis) - Richard Osborne, President of LU's Parents' Foundation<br />
Oct. 27 (<strong>Presbyterian</strong>) - Andy Barrick, LU's Director of Alumni Affairs<br />
Passing on the Pick Off<br />
The Flames set a new program record last year, when Liberty's quarterbacks threw<br />
just five interceptions on the year. The previous-best mark was nine interceptions set in<br />
1994, 1995 and 1999. Liberty finished the year tied for No. 6 nationally, with fellow conference<br />
member VMI leading the nation with just three interceptions on the season.<br />
This year, the Liberty defense seems to be focusing more on increasing its interception<br />
total. Liberty currently leads the Big South and ranks No. 13 nationally with 13<br />
interceptions over its first seven games. The Flames have evenly spread out their<br />
picked-off passes with eighth different players recording an interception.<br />
The Nation's Best<br />
Liberty finished last season leading the nation in a pair of statistical categories.<br />
Liberty's stout special teams unit made the Flames the lone program in the country to<br />
return three kickoffs for a touchdown, setting a new program record (previous was two<br />
in 1995).<br />
Liberty also finished the year tied with San Diego for the nation's lead, as both programs<br />
committed just eight turnovers. The Flames set a program record with five interceptions<br />
and another school-best mark with only three fumbles lost (previous best was<br />
six in 1993 and 1995). Finally, Liberty's 10 total fumbles tied a program record as Liberty<br />
also committed just 10 fumbles in 1999.<br />
Sensational Shutouts<br />
Liberty's defensive effort sure brought a smile to the face of head coach Danny<br />
Rocco last year, as the Flames posted a school-record three shutouts in 2006. Rocco,<br />
a 20-plus year veteran of defensive coaching, posted shutouts over St. Paul's,<br />
Savannah State and Western Carolina in his first year at the helm of the program.<br />
Liberty's previous school record was two shutouts in 1979.<br />
Points at a Premium<br />
Liberty finished its 2006 campaign by besting a 20-plus year school record, as<br />
Liberty allowed just 172 points during its nationally-recognized turnaround. The Flames<br />
finished the year averaging 15.6 points per game allowed, ranking No. 12 in the country<br />
in scoring defense. The previous school record for fewest points allowed was set in<br />
1979, when Liberty allowed 176 points en route to a 9-1-1 record.<br />
However, this year, Liberty's points per game average has nearly doubled. The<br />
Flames have allowed 24.7 points per game over the first seven contests, which has<br />
Liberty ranked No. 49 nationally in scoring defense.<br />
Happy to Be Home<br />
The Flames might feel like strangers in their own locker room this weekend, as<br />
today's game brings to a close a lengthy road stretch. Over the past six weeks, the<br />
Flames have hosted just one home game (St. Francis, Pa., on Sept. 29). During the<br />
remainder of the time span, the team played four road games and had a week off.

<strong>2007</strong> FLAMES FOOTBALL GAME NOTES<br />
Homecoming Happiness<br />
Today's game will mark the 35th Homecoming football game in the history of the<br />
program. Liberty has been very successful on the festive weekend, as the Flames enter<br />
the contest having posted a 22-12 overall record in previous Homecoming games.<br />
Plenty of Points<br />
Liberty set a program record with its 50-10 victory over Charleston Southern, last<br />
Saturday. The win marked the largest margin of victory over a Big South program in<br />
school history. The previous mark was a 28-point win, 34-6, over Charleston Southern<br />
on Oct. 24, 2004.<br />
This year, Liberty has scored 30 or more points in six out of seven contests and has<br />
done so, eight out of nine games dating back to last campaign. The Flames currently<br />
lead the Big South and rank No. 7 nationally by averaging 40.0 points per game.<br />

Big Time Big South Win<br />
Liberty's 50-10 win over Charleston Southern last weekend was the fourth-largest<br />
margin of victory in Big South Conference history. The three ranking higher than<br />
Liberty's 40-point wins have all come against the Buccaneers.<br />
Ground <strong>Game</strong> is Great<br />
The Flames rushed for 283 yards against Charleston Southern last weekend, marking<br />
Liberty's second-highest rushing total this year. To go along with the near 300-yard<br />
performance, Liberty scored five rushing touchdowns, the team's most since the Flames<br />
rushed for six touchdowns against Hofstra on Nov. 22, 2003. Liberty currently ranks No.<br />
22 in the country, averaging 202.14 rushing yards per contest.<br />
Tale of Two Seasons<br />
Both teams today are winning with new ways this year. Last season, Liberty and<br />
<strong>Presbyterian</strong> used their stifling defense to halt opponents, en route to victory.<br />
<strong>Presbyterian</strong> allowed 233.5 yards per game and ranked No. 12 nationally (at the<br />
Division II level) in scoring average. Liberty set numerous program records and ranked<br />
No. 12 in the country by allowing an average of 15.6 points per game. This year, both<br />
squads have reversed roles. Liberty ranks No. 7 in the country, averaging 40.0 points<br />
per game. If <strong>Presbyterian</strong> was eligible for FCS rankings, the Blue Hose would be tied<br />
for No. 9 nationally, as the squad is averaging 39.0 points per game.<br />
Piling Up The Points<br />
Liberty rolled up 68 points against St. Francis on Sept. 29, tying for the third-highest<br />
single-game point total in program history. Liberty also scored 68 points in a 68-0<br />
win over Newport News on Oct. 9, 1976. The only two other games in the 35-year history<br />
of the program to surpass the St. Francis point total, where a 69-21 win over Norfolk<br />
State on Nov. 8, 2003, and a 76-6 victory over West Virginia Tech on Sept. 2, 1995.<br />
Racking Up Road Points<br />
Liberty's 40-point win over Charleston Southern, 50-10, last weekend was the program's<br />
second-highest margin of victory in a road game. On Sept. 20, 1975, Liberty<br />
defeated Gallaudet on the road in Washington, D.C. (43-0).<br />
The 50 points scored by Liberty was the second highest road total in school history,<br />
ranking just behind Liberty's Oct. 17, 1998 contest against Delaware State, where the<br />
Flames defeated the Hornets, 53-21, in Dover, Del.<br />
Valuing Their Possessions<br />
For the second-straight outing, the Flames finished a contest without turning the ball<br />
over. Liberty's last turnover came against St. Francis, Pa. (Sept. 29) when Brock Smith<br />
threw an interception midway through the third quarter. In total, Liberty has had three<br />
games without committing a turnover (also against Shippensburg).

Grateful for Ground <strong>Game</strong><br />
Over its last three games, Liberty has averaged 281.0 rushing yards per contest,<br />
helped by the Flames 283 yards against Charleston Southern last weekend. Liberty has<br />
scored 11 touchdowns during the span. During the first four games of the year, Liberty<br />
averaged 143.0 rushing yards per game and tallied eight rushing touchdowns.<br />
Liberty currently ranks No. 22 nationally, averaging 202.1 rushing yards per game.<br />
The Flames also are tied for No. 15 with 19 rushing touchdowns.<br />
Insane Interceptions<br />
For the second time this year, Liberty finished a game with four interceptions, as the<br />
Flames picked off four passes last weekend against Charleston Southern. The Flames<br />
also picked off four passes in their season opener against Tusculum.<br />
Liberty currently leads the Big South Conference with 13 interceptions, with nine different<br />
defenders picking off the passes. Patrick Calvary leads the team with four interceptions,<br />
having tallied 100 interception return yards.<br />
Living on the Plus Side<br />
Liberty finished the Charleston Southern game with a +5.0 turnover ratio, their best<br />
single-game turnover ratio of the season. Liberty intercepted four passes and recovered<br />
a fumble, while not committing a turnover of their own.<br />
Liberty currently leads the Big South and ranks No. 5 nationally with a +1.57<br />
turnover margin. Last year, the Flames valued possession of the ball as well, finishing<br />
the year tied for No. 20 in the country with a +0.55 turnover margin.<br />
Keeping Up With the Clock<br />
For just the second time this season, Liberty won the "Battle for the Clock", finishing<br />
the Charleston Southern game with a 2:30 time of possession (TOP) advantage.<br />
Liberty also gained a slight TOP edge (0:44) against St. Francis, Pa. The Flames currently<br />
rank No. 111 (out of 116 FCS program) nationally with a 26:56 average time of<br />
possession. Last year, the Flames finished the year ranked No. 18 in the nation in average<br />
time of possession (31:44).<br />
Flags Go Flying<br />
If you were looking for a negative to dwell on in Liberty's dominating 50-10 win over<br />
Charleston Southern, the only area you might be able to focus on was the Flames'<br />
penalty total. Liberty finished the game with eight infractions, resulting in 86 penalty<br />
yards. The flag total was the second highest this season, ranking just below Liberty's<br />
nine penalties for 70 yards against Shippensburg. Liberty currently ranks No. 29 nationally<br />
in fewest average penalties per game (5.57) and No. 34 in fewest average penalty<br />
yards (48.57).<br />
Getting Past the Line of Scrimmage<br />
Liberty's offensive players have had a nose for the line of scrimmage. The Flames<br />
rank No. 4 nationally in fewest average tackles for loss per game (3.57). The 26 tackles<br />
for a loss have resulted in 79 lost yards, the third-fewest yards lost as a result of a TFL.

<strong>2007</strong> FLAMES FOOTBALL GAME NOTES<br />
Moving the Chains<br />
The Flames posted their second-highest first down total of the season against<br />
Charleston Southern on Saturday. Liberty racked up 25 first downs, ranking just behind<br />
the team's best performance of 26 against St. Francis, Pa. Sixteen came by virtue of the<br />
running game and nine as a result of passing plays. Liberty ranks third in the Big South<br />
with 132 first downs, just three behind VMI's conference-best 135 first downs.<br />
Liberty Doesn't Share Very Well<br />
Liberty's football players all must have missed the day in kindergarten when the<br />
teacher explained how to share, as the Flames just don't share the ball well at all.<br />
Liberty is one of eight programs at the FCS level to have lost two fumbles, ranking the<br />
Flames tied for No. 3 nationally in the statistical category. The only two teams to rank<br />
higher than Liberty are Elon, who has committed one fumble lost, and national-leading<br />
Albany, who has yet to lose a fumble.<br />
Giving Them a New Set of Downs<br />
Charleston Southern finished last weekend's contest converting on 2-of-12 thirddown<br />
plays, setting a new season low for a Liberty opponent. Despite the stellar singlegame<br />
defensive performance, Liberty still ranks No. 110 (out o 116 FCS programs) in<br />
third-down percentage defense. Liberty's opponents are converting on 45.9 percent of<br />
their third-down opportunities this year.<br />
Scoring Machine<br />
The Flames scored on nine out 12 drives against Charleston Southern, last weekend,<br />
including their first three and last four drives of the contest. Over the last three<br />
games, Liberty has scored on 23 out of 25 possessions, marking a 73.5 scoring percentage.<br />
During the first four games of the year, Liberty scored on 16 out of 54 drives<br />
(48.1 scoring percentage).<br />
Winning Rocco <strong>Football</strong> Brings Them In<br />
On Sept. 29, the Flames had 13,893 fans in attendance at Williams Stadium for<br />
Liberty's 68-10 win over St. Francis, Pa. The attendance figure marked the fifth time a<br />
Liberty crowd has exceeded the 12,000 mark since Rocco took over the program (which<br />
includes nine total home games). Prior to Danny Rocco's arrival, Liberty had eight<br />
games with 12,000 or more fans in attendance since opening Williams Stadium in 1989.<br />
Back to the Blocking <strong>Game</strong><br />
For the third time this year, Liberty held an opponent under 100 team rushing yards,<br />
when Charleston Southern finished with 67 yards on 26 carries. The figure was a dramatic<br />
improvement over Liberty's previous outing, as Toledo rushed for 267 yards on<br />
Oct. 6, the most rushing yards an opponent has racked up since 2005. Liberty currently<br />
ranks No. 22 nationally in rushing defense, allowing 118.3 rushing yards per game.<br />
Tantalizing Total Offensive Numbers<br />
The Flames finished the St. Francis game on Sept. 29 with 591 total offensive yards,<br />
a new season high. The Flames had the ball for 62 offensive plays, averaging 9.5 total<br />
offensive yards per play. The figure marked the first time Liberty has surpassed the 500-<br />
yard threshold since 2004, when Liberty finished with 511 yards in a 31-28 homecoming<br />
come-back victory over VMI.<br />
Powerful Punt Returns<br />
Despite their second-lowest return total of the season against Charleston Southern,<br />
the Flames still rank No. 7 nationally in average punt return yardage (14.6). Against the<br />
Buccaneers, two punts were fielded, resulting in just six total return yards. The Flames<br />
are tied with Southeastern Louisiana for the national lead. Both squads have returned<br />
three punts for a touchdown.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY<br />
<strong>2007</strong> FLAMES FOOTBALL GAME NOTES<br />
Keeping Their QB Clean<br />
For the first time this season, Liberty's offensive line and outside blockers kept the<br />
Flames quarterbacks from being sacked against Charleston Southern. The feat was<br />
nothing new, as Liberty has been one of the best FCS programs in the country in preventing<br />
sacks. The Flames rank No. 4 in the nation, allowing just 0.71 sacks per game<br />
(five in seven games).<br />
Under head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames have excelled at protecting their passer.<br />
Liberty finished No. 9 nationally by allowing 11 sacks over 11 games during the 2006<br />
campaign. In 18 games, Liberty has allowed an average of 0.88 sacks per game under<br />
the second-year skipper.<br />
Red Zone Review<br />
The red zone has been good to Liberty this year. The Flames have tacked on points<br />
89.5 percent (31-of-35) of the times they have been inside the opponent's 20-yard line.<br />
Liberty has scored 21 touchdowns and added 10 field goals.<br />
However, Liberty's opponents have also found the red zone to be beneficial. In 21<br />
trips inside Liberty's 20-yard line, the Flames opponents have found the end zone 95.2<br />
percent of the time (20-of-21), including 16 touchdowns.<br />
Liberty finally stopped its first opponent inside the red zone against Charleston<br />
Southern. Chuck Duffey picked off a pass in the end zone during the fourth quarter,<br />
marking Liberty's first red zone stop of the season.<br />
Break Up Breakdown<br />
The Flames started to get back on track last weekend in regards to their pass break<br />
up efforts. Liberty finished the Charleston Southern game with four pass break ups, with<br />
four different defenders evenly distributing the pass break ups. In its previous game,<br />
Liberty finished with a season-low two pass break ups against Toledo.<br />
On the year, Liberty leads the Big South Conference with 28 pass break ups, with<br />
Gardner-Webb ranking just behind the Flames with 26 pass disturbances.<br />
Still Trying to Get to the Hurler<br />
For the second-straight game, Liberty finished a contest without a quarterback<br />
hurry. Against St. Francis, Liberty racked up 11 quarterback hurries in the game.<br />
However, over the past two contests, the Flames' defensive unit hasn't been able to<br />
record a quarterback hurry.<br />
Despite the back-to-back blankings, Liberty still ranks second in the Big South with<br />
20 quarterback hurries. Gardner-Webb leads the league with 25 hurries.<br />
Pair Honored by League<br />
For the second time this year, Rashad Jennings and Noah Greenbaum have been<br />
named Big South Players of the Week on the same day, honoring the duo's contributions<br />
to Liberty's 50-10 Big South win over Charleston Southern.<br />
Jennings rushed for a game-high 131 yards on 20 carries and scored two touchdowns<br />
in the win. He averaged 6.6 yards per rushing attempt, recorded his third-consecutive<br />
100-yard rushing game and posted his second-straight multi-touchdown game.<br />
Greenbaum tied a season-high with 14 points scored on Saturday. He knocked<br />
down 5-of-6 PAT attempts and also connected on 3-of-4 field goal attempts, hitting from<br />
20, 33 and 27 yards. His three field goals are a season high, and he scored 10 points<br />
in a game for the third time this season.<br />
Jennings and Greenbaum were also named Big South Players of the Week on Sept.<br />
17, after the pair of gridiron battlers tallied impressive numbers in a double-overtime<br />
contest at William & Mary.

<strong>2007</strong> FLAMES FOOTBALL GAME NOTES<br />
At a Dozen and Climbing<br />
Zach Terrell scored two of Liberty's five rushing touchdowns against Charleston<br />
Southern last Saturday, giving the junior his 12th-consecutive game with a rushing<br />
touchdown. The streak dates back to last year's William & Mary game, a span in which<br />
Terrell has racked up 16 rushing touchdowns. Over the past three years, Terrell has 22<br />
career rushing touchdowns, tying for second all-time in Big South Conference history.<br />
Rashad Keeps Racking Them Up<br />
Rashad Jennings led the Flames against Charleston Southern, rushing for 131<br />
yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the fourth time this year Jennings<br />
has surpassed the 100-yard threshold and ninth time in his career. The junior has now<br />
rushed for 100 or more yards in nine out of 16 games since joining the Flames' roster<br />
in 2006.<br />
Jennings leads the Flames with 554 total rushing yards and seven touchdowns. In<br />
just 16 career games, Jennings has already cracked the Big South's Top 10. He currently<br />
ranks tied for No. 7 with 17 rushing touchdowns and No. 10 with 1,574 rushing<br />
yards.<br />
Jennings Could Join Liberty's Elite<br />
With his 131 yards against Charleston Southern last week, Rashad Jennings picked<br />
up his ninth-career 100-yard game. Jennings is now tied with Chip Smith for fourth place<br />
on the Flames' career 100-yard games. Standing ahead of Jennings are Lawrence<br />
Worthington (10), Stacy Nobles (17) and Dre Barnes (20), Liberty's all-time leading<br />
rusher.<br />
Wynton Still Having His Way<br />
Wynton Jackson was held to a single punt return for six yards against Charleston<br />
Southern on Saturday. This accounted for the fourth time this year the return specialist<br />
has finished with single punt return totals in a game.<br />
However, Liberty's opponents have figured out to punt away from the Big South preseason<br />
all-conference honoree. Jackson currently ranks No. 4 nationally in punt returns,<br />
averaging 15.1 yards per return. Jackson is the only player in the nation to have<br />
returned two punts for a touchdown this year.<br />
Hursky Back in Action<br />
After sitting out two games with a knee injury, Nick Hursky returned to the Flames<br />
starting line up against Charleston Southern. The junior linebacker finished the contest<br />
with four tackles, two solo and two assisted stops.<br />
On the year, Hursky ranks second on the team with 49 total tackles. Prior to the<br />
injury, Hursky had posted double-figure tackle totals during the first four games of the<br />
season.<br />
Tim Tears Them Up<br />
Tim Torrence led the Flames' defensive unit against Charleston Southern on<br />
Saturday. The sophomore recorded a new career high, finishing the contest with seven<br />
tackles, including three solo stops and a shared tackle for loss (one yard).<br />
Torrence is just four tackles away from passing his freshman year total of 27 tackles.<br />
However, Torrence will not be in the Flames' line up this weekend, as he will be<br />
away from the program due to a personal issue.

Tusculum<br />
vs.<br />
Liberty<br />
Sept. 1, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Williams Stadium - Lynchburg, Va.<br />
Touchdowns off a punt return and an interception helped Liberty overcome a sluggish<br />
first quarter en route to a 38-14 season-opening victory over Tusculum.<br />
With the victory, the Flames move to 1-0 on the year and push their record to 19-2<br />
in home openers over the past 21 seasons.<br />
The Flames wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as Liberty capped off a<br />
seven-play, 48-yard drive with a 37-yard field goal by Noah Greenbaum, staking Liberty<br />
to a 3-0 lead, with 12:11 left in the first. Of the seven plays, Zach Terrell was handed the<br />
ball four times for 14 yards, but the drive was highlighted by a 29-yard, out-of-bound<br />
pass play from Brock Smith to Brandon Turner.<br />
Liberty had a chance to push its margin to six points on the second-to-last play of<br />
the first quarter, but Greenbaum’s 29-yard field goal was blocked by Adrian Samples,<br />
leaving Liberty’s lead at three points to close out the quarter.<br />
The Flames stopped Tusculum on the ensuing kickoff with a thee-and-out series,<br />
but Wynton Jackson was hit by Chris Young, forcing the return specialist to cough up<br />
the ball on the resulting punt. Young was quick enough to gather himself and collect the<br />
football, giving the Pioneers a new set of downs at Liberty’s 32-yard line.<br />
And the Pioneers made the most of the second chance, as seven plays later, Corey<br />
Russell rushed up the middle for a touchdown with 10:42 left to play before halftime.<br />
On the drive, Liberty had the Pioneers stopped at the five-yard line three plays<br />
beforehand, but Liberty was whistled for a dead ball unsportsmanlike conduct penalty<br />
to give Tusculum a new set of downs, which they took advantage.<br />
Liberty quickly regained the momentum, as Smith drove the Flames down field on<br />
the next drive. The quarterback completed 3-of-5 passes, including a 50-yarder to<br />
Dominic Bolden, who was pushed out of bounds just shy of the goal line. The strike set<br />
up a Terrell run up the middle of the line, allowing the Flames to regain the lead, 10-7,<br />
at the 9:34.<br />
After another three-and-out series, the Pioneers were again forced to punt. John<br />
Gregory booted the ball to the Liberty 35-yard line, where it was fielded by Jackson. This<br />
time, the senior cleanly fielded the ball, and after several key blocks down field, Jackson<br />
found the end zone for the score, pushing Liberty’s lead to 17-7.<br />
The Flames quickly added to its lead on the third play of Tusculum’s next drive.<br />
Liberty newcomer Ryan Best picked off Russell’s pass over the middle, and returned it<br />
17 yards for a touchdown at 7:16, giving the Flames a 24-7 halftime advantage.<br />
The score remained the same until Liberty’s final drive of the third quarter. Sixstraight<br />
rushing plays led to the Flames’ fourth touchdown of the evening, when Wes<br />
Cheek cut left for a 10-yard touchdown bolt to push Liberty’s lead to 31-7 with 73 seconds<br />
left in the period.<br />
Both teams tacked on additional touchdowns in the fourth quarter with most of their<br />
back-ups on the field.<br />
Tusculum capped of its longest drive of the evening, when Russell found Ryan<br />
Tallent open on a 10-yard sideline pass for a touchdown to complete a 13-play, 65-yard<br />
drive with 10:29 left in the contest.<br />
The Pioneers forced the Flames to punt on the ensuing drive, but Ian Childress<br />
intercepted Russelll for the fourth time on the evening. The linebacker picked off the<br />
pass at the Tusculum 18-yard line and returned it to the two.<br />
Three plays later, Cheek bowled through the middle on a one-yard score with 6:16<br />
remaining, providing Liberty with its final margin of victory.

Shippensburg<br />
vs.<br />
Liberty<br />
Sept. 8, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Williams Stadium - Lynchburg, Va.<br />
Wynton Jackson posted a career evening, finishing with three total touchdowns,<br />
leading Liberty to a 35-14 victory over Shippensburg, in front of 12,331 fans at Williams<br />
Stadium.<br />
The attendance figure marked the sixth-largest crowd in program history and is the<br />
fourth time in eight home games under head coach Danny Rocco, Liberty has surpassed<br />
the 12,000 mark in home attendance.<br />
For the second-straight game, the Flames opened the game by scoring on their initial<br />
drive. The eight-play drive saw Zach Terrell eat up 55 of the 80 yards on the ground,<br />
including a sweeping play to the left side of the field, allowing the running back to find<br />
the end zone just 2:50 into the game, to give Liberty an early 7-0 edge.<br />
The Red Raiders quickly answered back on the ensuing drive. Gabe Maiocco<br />
capped off a 6:29, 12-play drive by completing a 15-yard pass play to Mike Harris, as<br />
the wide receiver caught the sideline pass and found the corner of the end zone at 5:41<br />
to knot the score at 7-7.<br />
Later in the first quarter, the Flames halted Shippensburg on a three-and-out series,<br />
punt after a three-and-out series. Shippensburg punter Kyler Ford pinned Liberty's<br />
Wynton Jackson near his end zone; however, for the second week in a row, the Big<br />
South preseason return specialist broke a few tackles, returning the kick 88 yards for a<br />
score.<br />
The 88-yard return was the second longest in program history, ranking only behind<br />
Andrew McFadden's 93-yard return against Delaware State on Sept. 23, 2005.<br />
The score remained 14-7 until late in the second quarter when Maiocco completed<br />
a pass downfield to Howard Chavous. But the wide receiver was struck by Liberty safety<br />
Ryan Greiser, forcing Chavous to cough the ball up, which Greiser recovered at near<br />
midfield.<br />
Three plays later, Brock Smith found Jackson open over the middle of the field. The<br />
senior leaped over several defenders into the end zone, completing a 22-yard pass play,<br />
giving Liberty a 14-point lead, 21-7, at the 2:43 mark.<br />
After the fifth three-and-out series of the evening, Smith completed a pass to<br />
Jackson on the Liberty logo at the 50-yard line, and after avoiding one defender, the<br />
wide out raced to the end zone, staking Liberty to a 28-7 lead at the break.<br />
Neither team could add to their point total in the third quarter, but Shippensburg was<br />
able to cut Liberty's lead in half midway through the fourth quarter.<br />
The Red Raiders pieced together the contest's longest drive at 14 plays (6:44), culminating<br />
with a five-yard pass play from Maiocco to Dave Wilkerson at the 8:16 mark.<br />
Shippensburg continued to push the Flames on the ensuing drive, as the Red<br />
Raiders' defense forced Liberty to punt after just three plays.<br />
The Red Raiders got the ball to midfield; however, Patrick Calvary stepped in front<br />
of a Maiocco pass and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown, sealing the victory for the<br />
Flames.<br />
Terrell led the Flames' ground attack, rushing for 129 yards on 24 carries and a<br />
touchdown. The junior's 129 yards pushed him over the 1,600 career rushing yards<br />
mark, moving him into eighth place on the Big South's career rushing list. The game<br />
also was the eighth straight in which the running back has found the end zone on the<br />
ground.<br />
Smith finished the evening by completing 11-of-17 pass attempts for 170 yards and<br />
two touchdowns. Maiocco posted similar numbers for the Red Raiders, completing 17-<br />
of-33 passing attempts for 172 yards and two scoring strikes.

Liberty<br />
vs.<br />
William & Mary<br />
Sept. 15, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Walter J. Zable Stadium - Williamsburg, Va.<br />
The Liberty vs. William & Mary contest certainly lived up to the age-old adage that<br />
football is a game of inches, as just a few proved to be the difference in the Flames' 48-<br />
41 double overtime loss to the Tribe at Zable Stadium.<br />
During the first overtime period, the homestanding Tribe managed to eke out just<br />
enough distance on a fourth-and-one play, giving them a new set of downs, which<br />
allowed them to force the final extra period.<br />
However, Liberty wasn't so lucky in the second overtime, as the Flames were held<br />
for no gain in the same situation, with the spot of the ball being just a few chain links<br />
away from a first down when the game ended.<br />
The Flames got on the scoreboard first late in the first quarter. Rashad Jennings, in<br />
his first game back with the program, rushed two yards off the left side for a touchdown<br />
at the 2:56 mark.<br />
William & Mary outscored the Flames, 17-6, during the second quarter, to take a<br />
four point lead, 17-13, into the locker room. The final three points came after Liberty was<br />
whistled for a pass interference play on a deep heave down field.<br />
Because a half can not end on a defensive penalty, the Tribe was given one last<br />
chance to tack points on the scoreboard. And William & Mary took advantage of the<br />
extra opportunity when Brian Pate knocked down a 43-yard field goal.<br />
William & Mary continued to control the pace of play during the third and beginning<br />
of the fourth quarter. A seven-yard pass play from Jake Phillips to Elliott Mack pushed<br />
William & Mary's lead to 12 points, 31-19, with 13:28 left to play in the contest.<br />
However, Liberty managed to piece together two quick scoring drives to send the<br />
game into overtime.<br />
Jennings caught a ball in the backfield from Smith and followed a few blockers 12<br />
yards into the end zone.<br />
After forcing William & Mary to punt late in the fourth, Smith led the Flames downfield<br />
71 yards on 10 plays, taking up just 2:03 on the game clock.<br />
The 10th play was a three-yard run by Zach Terrell with 16 seconds left, followed by<br />
a two-point conversion pass reception by Jennings to knot the game at 34 apiece.<br />
Liberty, playing in its first overtime game since falling to No. 14 Coastal Carolina at<br />
Williams Stadium on Oct. 22, 2005, quickly got on the scoreboard. Jennings burst<br />
through the line of scrimmage on the second play, rushing 25 yards for the score.<br />
The Flames nearly ended the game on William & Mary's very first play of overtime.<br />
Pat Dickerson stepped in front of Phillips' pass to Rob Varno, but the defensive back<br />
was unable to hang on to the hot shot.<br />
Three plays later, on a fourth-and-one, Tony Viola was able to just get the ball past<br />
the 15-yard line, giving William & Mary a fresh set of downs. On the very next play,<br />
Phillips threaded the needle and found Drew Atchinson for a 15-yard strike, just inside<br />
the pylon, to tie the game at 41-all after the first free period.<br />
With alternating possessions in overtime the Tribe got the ball next, and William &<br />
Mary rushed six-straight times to score again. Viola took the first five attempts, accumulating<br />
24 yards to set up a driving, one-yard plunge by Phillips over the pile for the<br />
go-ahead score.<br />
Liberty managed to move the ball nine yards on its next three plays, before calling<br />
upon Jennings one more time. However, the junior, who rushed for 114 yards on his first<br />
27 carries wasn't able to muster one more on his 28th, as William & Mary stopped the<br />
running back just inches shy of the first-down marker.

Sept. 22, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Rhodes Stadium - Elon, N.C.<br />
Elon's Scott Riddle and Terrell Hudgins hooked up for four touchdowns to lead the<br />
Phoenix to a 42-14 victory over Liberty in front of 6,796 fans at Rhodes Stadium.<br />
The Phoenix took the early lead in the game, scoring on their opening drive.<br />
Freshman quarterback Scott Riddle called his own number for a one-yard plunge over<br />
the center of the line into the end zone, staking Elon to a 7-0 advantage with 9:09 left in<br />
the first quarter.<br />
The scoring drive was keyed by a pair of completions from Riddle. The first was a<br />
25-yard slant to Matt Leddy, moving Elon into Liberty's territory. The second was a 12-<br />
yard pass play to Terrell Hudgins, giving the Phoenix the ball at the five-yard line.<br />
Elon tacked on its second touchdown of the first quarter when Hudgins caught a<br />
screen pass on third-and-12, and broke four tackles on his way to a 32-yard touchdown<br />
reception. The Phoenix's second 69-yard drive of the afternoon, used 2:29 on the game<br />
clock and gave Elon a 14-0 lead at 4:27.<br />
The score remained the same until late in the second quarter, when Riddle and<br />
Hudgins hooked up for another scoring strike.<br />
On third-and-six from the Liberty 24-yard line, Riddle avoided a pass rusher to find<br />
Hudgins in the end zone for his second touchdown reception, adding to the sophomore's<br />
national leading reception average. The score pushed the home team's lead to<br />
21-0 with 4:50 left in the first half.<br />
After Liberty's fourth third-and-out series of the half, Elon pieced together a nineplay,<br />
73-yard drive just before the break to give them a 28-0 edge.<br />
The ninth play was a draw by Riddle, who tucked the ball and ran five yards for the<br />
score, with 47 ticks left on the game clock.<br />
The Flames were finally got on the scored on their first drive of the second half. After<br />
forcing Elon to punt after a three-and-out series, Zach Terrell found a hole on the left<br />
side of the line for a two-yard touchdown run at the 11:08 mark.<br />
The two-yard burst gave Terrell his 10th-straight game with a rushing touchdown,<br />
dating back to last year's game against William & Mary on Oct. 14.<br />
Liberty got the ball back later in the third quarter, only to give it back to Elon. Smith's<br />
pass to Wynton Jackson over the middle slipped through the wide receiver's fingers and<br />
was intercepted by Walker White.<br />
Two plays later, Riddle found Hudgins open for his third touchdown reception of the<br />
afternoon. The sophomore caught the 15-yard pass over top of two defenders, giving<br />
Elon a 35-7 lead as time expired in the third quarter.<br />
Hudgins capped off his showcase afternoon by giving Elon its final points of the contest<br />
with 9:16 left to play. The wide out caught a 29-yarder in the corner of the end zone<br />
for a touchdown, setting a new Elon single-game receptions record.<br />
Liberty tacked on its second touchdown with 6:17 left in the fourth, when Spencer<br />
Landis completed a 13-yard pass play to Jackson, accounting for Landis' first career<br />
touchdown pass.<br />
Elon controlled the pace of play with its potent aerial game, passing for 401 yards<br />
and four touchdowns. Last week, Liberty allowed William & Mary to pass for 353 yards<br />
and three touchdowns, marking the first time the Flames have allowed back-to-back<br />
opponents to pass for 300 or more yards since 2003 (against Toledo and Bowling<br />
Green).<br />
Liberty failed to hit the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time in 10 games by running<br />
for 74 yards on 22 carries (3.4 average). Liberty's last non 100-yard rushing game<br />
was 85 yards against Wake Forest on Sept. 30, 2006.

Sept. 29, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Williams Stadium - Lynchburg, Va.<br />
The Flames scored 42-unanswered points and never looked back en route to a 68-<br />
10 victory over visiting St. Francis, Pa., Saturday evening, at Williams Stadium, keeping<br />
Liberty undefeated at home during the <strong>2007</strong> season.<br />
The contest was played in front of 13,893 fans, giving Liberty its third-straight home<br />
game with an attendance figure over Williams Stadium’s capacity of 12,000. The attendance<br />
count was the third largest in program history.<br />
The Flames took the opening kickoff and methodically marked down field, piecing<br />
together a 10-play, 68-yard drive. Liberty kept the ball on the ground for nine out of the<br />
10 plays, including a 10-yard reverse for a touchdown by to Dominic Bolden at the 10:03<br />
mark of the first.<br />
By the end of the quarter, Liberty tacked on three more touchdowns with all three<br />
scoring drives lasting two plays or less.<br />
The first score came on a 28-yard pass play from Brock Smith to Bolden at 9:00,<br />
followed by a 75-yard run by Zach Terrell at the 6:15 mark. The 75-yard scoring burst<br />
by Terrell was the longest run of his career and gave the junior his 11th-straight game<br />
with a rushing touchdown.<br />
The Flames capped off the 28-point first quarter when Smith found Wynton Jackson<br />
open on a slant pass and the senior got a key block downfield, allowing the wide out to<br />
scamper 60 yards to the end zone.<br />
Liberty kept its scoring spree going on second play of the second quarter. Spencer<br />
Landis found Bolden open for an 11-yard touchdown strike, pushing the Flames edge to<br />
35 points, giving the sophomore quarterback his second-straight game with a passing<br />
touchdown.<br />
After St. Francis’ fourth-straight three-and-out series, the Flames pushed their lead<br />
to 42-0. Rashad Jennings found a hole off the right side and rushed one yard for a score<br />
with 9:10 left before halftime.<br />
The Red Flash erased the possibility of a shutout with their first non three-and-out<br />
series of the contest late in the second quarter. Adam Scuilli knocked down a 26-yard<br />
field goal with 3:00 left before the break, completing a 14-play, 82-yard scoring drive.<br />
Following five-consecutive rushing plays by Liberty, Noah Greenbaum got the three<br />
points back for the Flames, centering a 21-yard kick through the uprights as time<br />
expired in the first half with Liberty leading 45-3.<br />
In the first half, Liberty outgained the Red Flash by 308 yards, 400 – 92, getting 258<br />
yards on the ground and 142 through the air.<br />
The Red Flash was forced to punt on the opening drive of the second half, as they<br />
could only advance the ball to their own 20-yard line. However, Ryan Best got around<br />
the corner of the line, blocking the ensuing punt, which was recovered by Al Bailey on<br />
the five and returned for a touchdown at the 12:16 mark.<br />
During the remainder of the game, Liberty managed to tack on two additional touchdowns<br />
and a field goal. Smith completed a 32-yard pass to Jackson for a score and<br />
Landis called his own number on the first play of the fourth quarter for the Flames final<br />
touchdown.<br />
Greenbaum added Liberty’s final three points with a 22-yard field goal with 8:37 left<br />
in the contest. The kick gave the Flames their third-highest point total in a single game,<br />
tying Liberty’s 68-0 victory over Newport News on Oct. 9, 1976.<br />
The only two contests in which Liberty scored more points was a 69-21 win over<br />
Norfolk State on Nov. 8, 2003, and a 76-6 victory over West Virginia Tech on Sept. 2,<br />
1995.

Oct. 6, <strong>2007</strong><br />
Glass Bowl - Toledo, Ohio<br />
Jalen Parmele had a pair of short-yardage fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a five-yard<br />
burst with 3:47 left to play, allowing Toledo to sneak away with a 35-34 comeback victory over<br />
Liberty at the Glass Bowl.<br />
The Flames scored on the opening drive of the contest, marching 80 yards on nine plays.<br />
Liberty put seven points on the scoreboard after a two-yard touchdown run by Rashad Jennings<br />
at the 11:40 mark.<br />
The homestanding Rockets trimmed the lead to four points on the ensuing drive when Alex<br />
Steigerwald knocked down a 29-yard field goal with 3:32 left to play in the first quarter. Toledo took<br />
its first lead of the contest midway through the second quarter when DaJuane Collins avoided<br />
several would-be tacklers to find the end zone, giving the Rockets a 10-7 lead on an eight-yard<br />
running play.<br />
However, Liberty answered right back on the first play of the ensuing drive to take a 13-10<br />
lead. Jennings broke through the line of scrimmage and found an opening that led to a 63-yard<br />
touchdown run with 9:30 left to play in the first half. The ground game helped the Rockets regain<br />
the lead when Jalen Parmele was called on for a one-yard run at the 6:09 mark, finishing off an<br />
eight-play, 73-yard drive. On the ensuing extra point attempt, Liberty's Soeren Wendland was able<br />
to meander his way through the line to block the kick, leaving the score at 16-14 in favor of Toledo.<br />
And the missed extra point allowed Liberty to take the lead heading into the break at halftime<br />
as Noah Greenbaum hit a 21-yard field goal as time expired at the end of the first, giving Liberty<br />
a 17-16 lead. Toledo's quarterback D.J. Lenehan completed 11-of-11 passes for 151 yards in the<br />
first half. And the true freshman, in his first career start, completed his first pass of the second<br />
half. However, it was to a player in a Liberty jersey as Patrick Calvary picked off his team-leading<br />
third pass of the year, giving Liberty the ball at its own 47-yard line.<br />
And eight plays later, Brock Smith found Wynton Jackson open in the flat and the senior<br />
avoided two potential tacklers to find the end zone on a 19-yard scoring play, extending Liberty's<br />
lead to eight points, 24-16, with 11:39 left to play in the third.<br />
The Rockets seemingly tied the game on the next drive. Leneham completed a 28-yard pass<br />
play to Parmele for a touchdown with 6:13 left to play in the third quarter, pulling the Rockets to<br />
within two points, 24-22. Toledo elected to go for the two-point conversion where Brandon Duke<br />
got behind the line of scrimmage to tackle Leneham, but the freshman rolled away from the takedown<br />
and scampered to the end zone. However, after the play was reviewed in the booth, it was<br />
determined that the quarterback was tackled, leaving the game score at 24-22. Bolden returned<br />
the ensuing kickoff 72 yards, giving Liberty prime field position at the Toledo's 18-yard line. The<br />
return marked the third time the junior has returned a kickoff for 70 or more yards.<br />
And four plays later, Liberty pushed its lead to five points when Greenbaum knocked down a<br />
27-yard field goal, staking the Flames to a 27-22 lead with 4:31 left to play.<br />
Less than two minutes later, Liberty added to its lead when Ryan Greiser picked off a<br />
Leneham pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown. The return was Liberty's third this year<br />
for a score, pushing the Flames margin to 12 points, 34-22, at the 3:10 mark.<br />
The Rockets responded with their third double-figure drive of the evening when Parmele<br />
when up the middle then bounced to the outside for a four-yard rushing touchdown on the first<br />
play of the fourth quarter. Toledo elected to attempt its second two-point conversion of the<br />
evening, but Leneham's pass to the end zone was picked off by Greiser, leaving the score at 34-<br />
28 in Liberty's favor with 14:53 left in the contest.<br />
On a third-and-three play from midfield, Smith was sacked by Skylaar Constant and fumbled<br />
the ball. The miscue was recovered by Mike Godsil, but forced Liberty to punt the ball away.<br />
With plenty of time left on the game clock, the Rockets continued to keep the ball on the<br />
ground, rushing 11 times out of 14 plays on the ensuing drive. The 11th time was a hand off to<br />
Parmele who found the end zone on a five-yard run, allowing Toledo to regain the lead, 35-34,<br />
with 3:47 remaining. The scoring drive ate up 7:38 on the game clock and took 14 plays with the<br />
Rockets covering 94 yards. A deep pass down field on second-and-12 to Dominic Bolden slipped<br />
through the receivers' fingers and two players later, Jackson was unable to catch a sideline pass,<br />
ending Liberty's final hopes for victory.

Charleston Southern<br />
Oct. 20, <strong>2007</strong><br />
CSU Stadium - Charleston, S.C.<br />
Charleston Southern and Liberty traded points early on, but the Flames scored 40-consecutive<br />
points en route to a convincing 50-10 Big South opening victory over Charleston Southern,<br />
Saturday afternoon at CSU Stadium.<br />
Charleston Southern wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, opening a 7-0 edge in the<br />
opening minutes of the contest, when back-to-back short yardage passes gave the Buccaneers<br />
the game’s first score. The second pass over the middle from quarterback Eli Byrd was caught by<br />
Dee Brown, who avoided several would-be tacklers for a 62-yard touchdown reception just 69<br />
seconds into the game.<br />
The Flames cut into the Buccaneers’ lead on their first possession of the game. Liberty managed<br />
to advance the ball down inside Charleston Southern’s red zone. However, Wynton Jackson<br />
was stopped on a reception over the middle at the three-yard line on third down. Liberty settled<br />
for a 20-yard field goal by Noah Greenbaum, capping off an 11-play, 59-yard drive and trimming<br />
the lead to four, 7-3, with 7:44 left in the first quarter.<br />
Six plays into the ensuing Charleston Southern drive, cornerback Patrick Calvary picked off<br />
his Big South Conference leading fourth pass of the year and returned it 35 yards.<br />
Consecutive rushing plays for 10 or more yards by Liberty’s running back tandem Rashad<br />
Jennings and Zach Terrell pushed the Flames into the lead. Jennings gained 13 yards on the<br />
drive’s first play to set up Terrell, who found a open hole off left tackle for a 16-yard scoring scamper<br />
to give Liberty a 10-7 advantage with 4:18 left in the opening quarter. The run gave Terrell his<br />
12-consecutive game with a rushing touchdown. The early scoring spree continued when the<br />
Buccaneer’s Nick Ellis knocked down a 37-yard field on the first play of the second quarter to<br />
complete a nine-play, 59-yard drive, knotting the score at 10 apiece.<br />
For the third-straight possession, Liberty put points on the scoreboard. Jennings just nosed<br />
the football over the goal line for a 17-10 Liberty lead at the 10:59 mark of the second. The 10-<br />
yard scoring run was the 16th of Jennings’ career in 16 games at Liberty.<br />
The Flames had their consecutive-possession scoring streak halted late in the second when<br />
Greenbaum’s 30-yard field goal attempt try was blocked by Stonewall Randolph with 3:27 left<br />
before the break.Greenbaum started a new streak in the waning seconds of the first half, when<br />
his 33-yard field goal just made over the crossbar and through the uprights with 34 seconds left,<br />
allowing Liberty to take a 10-point lead, 20-10, into intermission.<br />
The score remained the same until midway through the third quarter, as Liberty took to the<br />
ground to add to its lead. Following a 17-yard run by Terrell set Liberty up at the CSU 29-yard line,<br />
Jennings carried the ball four-straight times to eat up the remaining yards. The final two-yard carry<br />
upped Liberty’s lead to 26-10 with 9:08 left to play in the third, after Greenbaum’s PAT was<br />
blocked at the line of scrimmage.<br />
After trading a pair of three-and-out possessions, CSU took over the ball at its own eight-yard<br />
line. Four plays later, wide receiver Markus Murray was given the ball on a reverse, which he<br />
could not handle, fumbling the ball on the 17-yard line. The miscue was recovered by Liberty’s<br />
Trey Jacobs, giving the Flames another scoring opportunity. Three plays later, Terrell found an<br />
opening on the far side of the field and darted five yards into the corner of the end zone, pushing<br />
Liberty’s lead to 33-10 with 4:00 left on the third quarter clock. CSU looked like they might finally<br />
break their scoreless string by driving to the Flames’ five-yard line. Quarterback Sidney Bryant<br />
rolled out for a near-side end zone pass, which Chuck Duffey picked off to end the scoring threat.<br />
Three long pass plays allowed Liberty to quickly move down the field, including two 10-plus<br />
yard passes to tight end Chris Luck. The second pass, an over-the-shoulder catch in the far corner<br />
of the end zone on a 19-yard reception, pushed Liberty’s lead to 40-10 with 11:01 left in the<br />
contest. The Flames continued to roll late in the fourth quarter with 10 additional points. Liberty<br />
capped off a clock-eating 10-play drive with Greenbaum hitting his third field goal of the afternoon,<br />
a 27-yarder, for a 43-10 Liberty lead late in the final quarter.<br />
On the third play of the ensuing Buccaneer drive, Flames’ linebacker Ian Childress stepped<br />
in front of a Bryant pass for an interception at the Charleston Southern 14-yard line. Four-consecutive<br />
running plays by Terry Williams capped off the offensive drive, as the redshirt freshman<br />
found the end zone on a two-yard run, capping off Liberty’s 40-point victory.
