Williams Stadium - Home Of The FlamesThis year marks the Flames' 17th season of competition in Williams Stadium. Prior

to the 1989 season, Liberty played its home games at Lynchburg's City Stadium.Liberty holds a 58-27 record at the on-campus facility (68.2 winning percentage),

and started competition in the venue with a 37-18 victory over Towson on October 21,1989. The Flames have posted 13 winning seasons at home over the last 16 years,including a perfect 5-0 record during the 1992 campaign.

Fancy New Field For The FlamesThe Flames faithful noticed quite a few new items during Liberty’s game against St.

Paul’s on August 31, but one of the most noticeable things that will jump out at peopleentering the stadium is Liberty's new playing surface.

During the summer, the Athletics Department made a concerted effort to upgradeseveral athletics facilities, including a new playing surface at Williams Stadium. State-of-the-art FieldTurf was installed at Williams Stadium, replacing the old AstroTurf thathad been used since the opening of the facility in 1989.

FieldTurf is the latest innovation in artificial playing surfaces and is the surface ofchoice for 24 NFL stadiums, including Ford Field where Super Bowl XL was played lastFebruary, and at over 40 NCAA stadiums across the country.

Three Flames’ Tacklers Tally 100 Career TacklesThe Flames graduated three defenders last year that were members of the Flames'

100 career tackle club with C.J. Moore leading the way as he finished his career with282 career stops. Following the defensive back in the 100 career tackle club were line-backer Kenneth Kemp (163 career tackles) and fellow defensive back Shane Lancaster(162 career stops).

Entering today’s game, Liberty has three players on its active roster with more than100 career tackles, including senior linebacker Manny Rojas, who leads the squad with314 career stops. Rojas finished 2005 with a career-high 102 tackles. Brandon Dukejoined the club against Savannah State and now has 107 career tackles. Steve Ackleyjoined the group against Gardner-Webb and now has 104 career tackles.

On the verge of joining Rojas, Duke and Ackley in the elite club are defensive line-man Jason Horn and linebacker Nick Hursky with 88 career stops each.

Forecast For Winning Season Looks GoodThis year marks the seventh time in the history of the football program that Liberty

has started a campaign with a 2-0 record, a fact which bodes well for a possible winningseason. In five out of six seasons in which Liberty has started the year with a 2-0 record,the Flames have gone on to post an overall winning record. The only time that Libertyhas failed to finish a year above the .500 mark after a 2-0 start was in 1975 when Libertywon its first three games, but finished the year with a 4-5 record.

WOW - What Wonderful CrowdsThe excitement of a new brand of Flames' football is quickly growing. Evidence of

the excitement has repeatedly been seen in this year's attendance figures as three ofLiberty's four home games rank in the Top 15 in the school's attendance annals.

On October 14, the Flames set a Liberty and Big South record as 15,631 fans sawthe Flames battle in-state opponent William & Mary in the school's annual Homecominggame. One week later, Liberty filled the stadium once again as 12,056 people sawLiberty open Big South Conference play against Gardner-Webb, marking the sixth-largest crowd in school history.

Larger home crowds have proven to be an advantage for the Flames as Liberty hasposted a 12-9 record in Williams Stadium home games where 10,000 or more fans haveattended. In 1998, Liberty had three games in which it accumulated 10,000 fans, whilefour years saw crowds of 10,000 fans assemble at Williams Stadium twice.

Natural Versus Artificial SurfacesUnder head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames are 2-4 on artificial turf and 1-0 on nat-

ural grass. Overall, Liberty is 93-105-4 on natural grass and 63-72 on artificial turf. TheFlames play their home games at Williams Stadium, which has an artificial surface asnew state-of-the-art FieldTurf was installed prior to the start of the 2006 season. Libertyhas posted a 2-2 record at home since the new surface was installed.

Four Fearless LeadersDuring halftime of Liberty's annual spring game on April 29, head coach Danny

Rocco introduced his new player leadership group as he named Jason Horn, RashadJennings, Manny Rojas and Jarrett Winfrey as 2006 team captains.

Senior Jarrett Winfrey helps to anchor Liberty's offensive line, while newcomerRashad Jennings adds some excitement to the Flames' offense at tailback in Liberty'snew two-back offensive set. On the defensive side of the ball, senior Jason Horn leadsthe Flames' defensive line, while linebacker Manny Rojas returns for his fifth year withthe program and serves as the Flames' leader at linebacker.

New Faces On The SidelinesFirst-year head coach Danny Rocco has added four new faces to the Flames'

coaching staff since taking over the program last December. Rocco has brought in anew offensive coordinator in Scott Wachenheim and a new defensive coordinator inTom Clark. Rocco also added a new quarterbacks coach in Brandon Streeter and a newdefensive line/special teams coach in Chad Wilt.

Remaining from last year's staff are Pete Sundheim (assistant head coach/tightends), Frank Hickson (running backs), Marshall Roberts (defensive backs), CharlieSkalaski (wide receivers/recruiting coordinator) and Robert Wimberly (linebackers).

Wachenheim Brings New Ways To Flames' OffenseFor the first time in over a decade, the Flames are running a two-back offense as

new offensive coordinator Scott Wachenheim has brought the offensive scheme back toLiberty. The last time that Liberty ran a two-back set was during the 1994 and 1995 sea-sons with Lawrence Worthington and J.T. Morris, and the tandem proved to be suc-cessful as Worthington finished his career with 2,723 yards rushing which ranks third inschool history.

Wachenheim comes to Liberty after spending the previous 12 seasons at Rice,including his last five years as offensive coordinator. Wachenheim helped Rice build adominant ball-control offense that ranked among the nation's best during his tenure.

During the 2004 season, Rice led the nation in rushing offense (306.5 yards pergame), while the Owls' 2003 squad ranked second in the country, racking up a schoolrecord of 3,800 rushing yards. In 2001, Wachenheim's direction enabled Rice to breakthe school record for points scored (333) and total offense (4,846 yards).

Five Flames Honored By Big SouthOn July 28 the Big South Conference officially kicked off the 2006 football season

by hosting its annual Big South Football Media Day in Charlotte, N.C. As part of theyearly ceremony, the conference announced its preseason all-conference teams andthe preseason players of the year.

Liberty's defensive selections were led by a pair of senior team captains as defen-sive lineman Jason Horn and linebacker Manny Rojas were named to the squad. Thetwo elder defensive players were joined by sophomore defensive back Patrick Calvarywho had a breakout freshman season for the Flames last year.

The last Liberty defensiveback to finish with double-figure tackles was C.J. Moore who recorded 15 tacklesagainst Coastal Carolina in a triple overtime game on October 22, 2005. Greiser cur-rently ranks third on the team in tackles with 39 stops in his first full season as a defen-sive back after starting his career last year as a running back.

Terrell Tares Up The Conference CompetitionZach Terrell posted the second-best rushing performance of his career by rushing

for 175 yards and two touchdowns last weekend against Gardner-Webb, averaging 6.0yards per career. The tally also marked the second-straight time that Terrell has rushedfor more than 100 yards against Gardner-Webb and the second-consecutive week withtwo touchdowns. Terrell, last year's Big South Rookie of the Year, is now averaging 85.8rushing yards per game against conference opponents (five games) and 4.6 yards percarries.

Still Playing A Man DownFor the third-straight week, the Flames will be without the services of senior defen-

sive lineman Jason Horn who suffered a fractured fibula in his left leg during practiceleading up to the William & Mary game. At the time of his injury, Horn led the Big Southin tackles for a loss and sacks as the senior has recorded 7.5 tackles for a loss (44yards) and 5.0 sacks (40 yards) over the first five games of the year. Also at the time ofthe injury, the defensive lineman currently ranks fifth nationally in sacks (1.00 per game)and sixth in tackles for a loss (1.70 per game). Horn has recorded a tackle for a loss infour out of five games this year (no TFL against Savannah State) and a sack in threeout of five games (two against St. Paul's and Glenville State and one against WakeForest).

Total Team EffortThe Flames have the stingiest defense in the Big South and the sixth best in the

nation which is a credit to Liberty's entire defense unit and not just one player. TheFlames currently have just two players rank in the Top 10 of the conference in tackles(Stevie Ray Lloyd at seventh and Manny Rojas at 12th) and just four players all togeth-er in the league's Top 25 tacklers.

Manny Moves Into Second PlaceManny Rojas moved into sole possession of second place on the Big South's all-

time career tackle list as he finished the Gardner-Webb game with six tackles last week-end. Rojas now has 314 career tackles to his credit, including 42 stops this year whichranks second on the team. This weekend's contest will pit the conference's top twocareer tackles against each other as Coastal Carolina's Jamar Leath leads the leaguewith 320 career stops.

Liberty finished the half with 63 yards on 29 plays, while the Tigerstallied 81 yards on 24 plays. Liberty punted the ball seven times, while the Tigers punt-ed five times and turned the ball over on downs after a failed fourth-down conversionattempt. The Flames recorded their initial first down of the game with 4:45 left to play inthe second quarter as Zach Terrell completed a 14-yard pass play to Dominic Boldenover the middle on a third-and-eight play.

The 14-yard pickup somewhat sparked the Flames' offense as Liberty mounted itslongest drive of the game. An 11-play, 38-yard drive that used up 6:57 on the game clockgot the Flames to the Towson 42-yard line before Liberty recorded its seventh punt ofthe first half. The furthest the Tigers advanced the ball was to Liberty's 34-yard line earlyin the second quarter. The Tigers finally broke the scoreless streak on the opening driveof the third quarter as Sean Schaefer completed an eight-yard slant pass to DemetriusHarrison at the 9:20 mark, accounting for the junior wide receiver's first touchdownreception of the year and the second of his career.

The scoring drive of 13 plays and 79 yards that used up 5:31 on the game clock waskept alive by a key fourth down conversion as Schaefer completed a 16-yard pass toEric Yancey that put the Tigers at Liberty's 19-yard line.

Liberty advanced the ball to midfield on its first drive of the second half, but onceagain was forced to punt the ball away. Ben Beasley seemed to pin the Tigers deep intheir own territory as his 51-yard punt put the Tigers at their own nine-yard line; howev-er, Yancey returned the punt for 35 yards.

On the first play of the drive, Schaefer found Paul Perry open for a 44-yard recep-tion to the Liberty 12-yard line, giving the Tigers the momentum. After an attempted rushup the middle, Schaefer found Daryon Arnold open in the corner of the endzone for anapparent second touchdown, but the wideout was flagged for offensive pass interfer-ence to negate the score. Liberty's defense took advantage of the second chance asthree plays later, the Tigers were forced to attempt a 41-yard field goal and ChrisDesautels' attempt from the center of the field fell considerably short to leave the scoreat 7-0 at the end of the third quarter.

After a three-and-out series to start the fourth quarter forced the Tigers to punt theball, Liberty put together its second-longest drive of the day and cut into the lead asBeasley connected on a 27-yard field goal with 9:37 left to play in the contest to cap offa 10-play, 49-yard scoring drive. Towson pushed its lead back to seven points on theensuing drive as Towson capped off a 13-play, 79-yard drive that ate up 5:19 of thegame clock with a 30-yard field goal by Desautels with 4:07 remaining in the ball game.

A 32-yard kickoff return by Wynton Jackson on the ensuing drive gave the Flamesprime field position with just under four minutes to play. Brock Smith completed a 26-yard pass play to Rashad Jennings on the first play, while passes to Darnell Edwards(12 yards) and Turner (eight yards) helped the Flames move to Towson's 15-yard line.

After a four-yard gain on a draw play by Jennings, Smith completed a slant pass toTurner, but the junior was struck by Tony Lumpkin and coughed up the ball at the 12-yard line, while Richard Lee recovered the lost fumble to seal the victory for the hometeam.

Savannah StateSeptember 23, 2006

Ted Wright Stadium - Savannah, Ga.

For the second time this season, Rashad Jennings rushed for three touchdowns ina game and the Flames recorded a shutout victory as Liberty posted a 28-0 road victo-ry over Savannah State at Ted Wright Stadium.

The Flames wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as the two teams tradedthree-and-out possessions, while Ben Beasley pinned the Tigers deep inside their ownterritory as his 29-yard punt gave Savannah State possession on its own nine-yard line.

On the first play of the ensuing drive, Quinton Beasley was given the ball and thetailback got outside the tackles; however, linebacker Manny Rojas was able to strip theball from the running back and Ryan Greiser recovered the miscue on the six-yard line.

On the next play, Brock Smith handled the ball to Jennings and the tailback founda hole up the middle, leading to his team-leading sixth rushing touchdown of the yearand first of the evening to give Liberty a 7-0 lead with 10:54 left to play in the first quar-ter.

The score remained the same until early in the second quarter when Liberty lookedlike it was going to have to give up the ball after being held; however, Beasley wasstruck by Charles Huggins on the punt attempt, giving Liberty new life after the rough-ing the kicker penalty at its own 47-yard line.

And the Flames made the Tigers pay for their second mistake of the contest asJennings got outside on the left side of the field and found an opening that enabled himto score his second rushing touchdown of the night. The 53-yard touchdown run gaveLiberty a 14-0 lead at 11:10 in the second quarter and was his longest run since joiningthe program.

Liberty looked like it was going to add to its lead late in the second quarter as a 25-yard run by Jennings got the Flames down to the Tigers’ one-yard line. However, aftera pair of penalties pushed the Flames back to the 20-yard line, Liberty had to settle fora field goal attempt, but Beasley pushed the 25-yard attempt wide left, leaving the scoreat 14-0 at halftime. That marked the fourth-straight game that Liberty has held its oppo-nent scoreless in the first half.

Liberty came out of the locker room and put together a solid scoring drive on thefirst drive of the third quarter as the Flames capped off a seven-play, 86-yard drive thatused up 3:34 on the clock. Zach Terrell found an opening on the outside for his thirdrushing touchdown of the year, a three-yard quarterback keeper, as the score pushedLiberty's lead to 21-0 at the 11:01 mark of the third quarter.

The Flames increased their lead to 28 points, 28-0, on the third play of the fourthquarter as Jennings broke through the middle of the line for a three-yard score, his thirdof the evening, with 13:41 left to play in the game. The scoring opportunity was set upby a 45-yard pass play from Terrell to Brandon Turner to get Liberty inside the Tigers’10-yard line and helped set up the final score of the game.

The Tigers dominated time of possession with a near eight-minute advantage(33:56 - 26:04); however, the Flames' bend but don't break defense kept Liberty in thegame. Liberty has allowed just 17 total points over the first four games of the season,marking the best four-game defensive span in school history as the previous record was25 points over four games in 1974. Since making the move to Division I play, the bestfour game span is 34 points in 1988.

Jennings finished the night with 194 yards on 21 carries, averaging 9.2 yards percarry and three scores. The 194 yards ties him with Kim Raynor for the 27th-best sin-gle-game rushing performance in school history as Raynor rushed for 194 yards againstFerrum on November 3, 1979.

William & Mary also looked like it was going to score on its opening drive of thegame as the Tribe moved the ball 78 yards on 16 plays. However, Jake Phillips'attempted pass on a third-and-goal play was picked off by E.L. Estes in the end zone,keeping the game scoreless.

After holding William & Mary on a three-and-out series to start the third quarter,Jennings found an opening on the far side of the field for a 62-yard gain, giving Libertythe ball on the William & Mary 13-yard line.

Game 7

Gardner-Webbvs.

LibertyOctober 21, 2006

Williams Stadium - Lynchburg, Va.

A pair of Hunter Smith fourth-quarter field goals, including one with five seconds lefton the clock, proved to be the difference as Gardner-Webb overcame a 17-point half-time deficit to pick up a 27-24 Big South win over Liberty at Williams Stadium.

Liberty wasted little time taking control of the game as the Flames scored on theiropening drive of the contest. Liberty kept to the ground on the scoring drive as nine ofits 11 plays were of the rushing variety, including a six-yard touchdown run by ZachTerrell. The sophomore cut to the outside and found a hole to give Liberty a 7-0 leadwith 9:56 left to play in the opening quarter.

After holding the Bulldogs to just 13 yards on the ensuing drive, the Flamesregained possession and marched down the field to seemingly score their secondtouchdown of the game on a four-yard run by Terrell. But the play was negated on aholding penalty, pushing the Flames back to the 15-yard line. The Flames had to settlefor just three points with Zac Kolegue's 23-yard field goal giving Liberty a 10-point leadwith 25 seconds left in the quarter. The score remained the same until late in the sec-ond, when Liberty hit paydirt once again. Brock Smith rolled to the right to mislead thedefense and found Brandon Turner open over the middle of the field. The junior scam-pered to the opposite side of the field, including a dive into the corner of the end zoneto complete a 26-yard pass play for a touchdown with 49 seconds left before halftime.

Liberty entered the locker room at intermission leading by a 17-0 count and holdinga 225-total offensive yard advantage over Gardner-Webb, while tallying 14 first downsto the Bulldogs' three.

However, as much as the first half belonged to the home team, the second half wasdominated by the visitors, starting with the opening drive of the third quarter. DevinCampbell completed three-straight 10-plus yard pass attempts, including a 21 yarder toKory Alston on the first play, to set up a two-yard run by Bubba Wallace for a touchdownjust 2:10 into the period.

After a three-and-out series by Liberty, Gardner-Webb kept to the air as 10 of thenext 12 plays were passing plays. The drive was capped off by a three-yard strike fromCampbell to Austin Gaines. The senior made an acrobatic catch in the back of the endzone to pull Gardner-Webb within three points, 17-14, at the 8:19 mark of the third.

And for the second-straight drive, Liberty failed to pick up a first down, punting theball away after three plays and giving the Bulldogs possession at their own 27-yard line.Gardner-Webb quickly moved the ball downfield on a mixture of passing and rushingplays. A nine-yard slant from Campbell to Duvaughn Flagler at 2:33 gave the visitors a21-17 lead, allowing the Bulldogs to erase a 17-point deficit in under 13 minutes (12:27).

The Flames' offense was able to find its first-half stride on the ensuing drive asLiberty marched down the field on 12 plays for 57 yards, capped off by a one-yard runover the left tackle by Terrell. The touchdown allowed the home team to regain the lead,24-21, with 12:28 left in the game. Liberty's defense was finally able to find someanswers for Gardner-Webb's second-half passing attack on the following drive as theBulldogs' drive stalled at Liberty's 26-yard line, forcing them to settle for a 44-yard fieldgoal by Hunter Smith that knotted the contest at 24 apiece with 9:03 left to play.

The Flames were able to move the ball down the field on the following drive as well,but a key third-down stop at Gardner-Webb's 38-yard line as the Bulldogs held WesleyCheek to a single yard on a rushing attempt, forced the Flames to punt.

And Gardner-Webb went back to what was working in the second half as Campbellcompleted 5-of-7 pass attempts to get Smith in field goal range. The senior didn't dis-appoint as he nailed a 40-yard field goal with five seconds left to seal the victory.
