I think it is amazing what we are accomplishing with God’s help. The sky’s the limit for Liberty.” Before a packed house inside the Vines Center, Falwell unveiled plans to increase Williams Stadium sea ng to 19,200 by the opening of the 2010 season, plus plans to add 3,000 seats inside the Vines Center. Directly following the Flames final home against VMI on Nov. 7, 2009, Liberty began to renovate Williams Stadium, marking the first major expansion to the Flames home for football since the stadium was completed in 1989. The first of a three-phase plan calls for the addi on of 6,600 seats added to the west side of the stadium, plus a 34,000-square foot press box. The brick and glass encased, Jeffersonian-style four-story tower will house club-level sea ng for qualified Flames Club donors, 18 permanent luxury suites, a banquet room which can hold up to 500 people, a 1,000-seat classroom and a state-of-theart press area. “The expansion of Williams Stadium will have a monumental effect on Liberty University and its football program,” stated Jeff Barber, Liberty’s Director of Athle cs. “Above all else, this shows a great commitment from the University, and when you have a commitment, a lot of wonderful things can happen.” Phase One of the plan is part of a mul phase effort to boost the stadium’s sea ng from its current capacity of 12,000 to 30,000 over the next five years. Phases Two and Three will add a new 4,000-seat middeck for the east side of the stadium and 6,400 seats in a horseshoe-shape area surrounding the end zone in the south end of the stadium. When all three phases are complete, the stadium will have undergone an es mated $22 million in improvements. The renovated facility will also ready the stadium for the future construc on of upper desks on the west and east sides of the stadium that will bring the capacity to 60,000. “You cannot ignore the importance of facili es in recrui ng. Kids always look for nicer facili es and to be a part of a team where they feel the program is an important overall part of the University,” stated Liberty Head Football Coach Danny Rocco. “Above all, I think it just shows a great commitment from our University’s administra on to get our program to a level of na onal prominence.” Falwell said the Williams Stadium expansion is keeping up with Liberty’s overall growth pa ern. Fall enrollment for residen al studies this year is expected to reach 12,200. Liberty had just over 5,000 on-campus students just 11 years ago. “This stadium project is a natural step for Liberty in its progression from a small Bible college to a major university,” added Falwell. “That was the goal from the beginning – to be for evangelical young people what Notre Dame is to the Catholics and what Brigham Young is to the Mormons. Athle cs, and football in par cular, was always a big part in that vision.” “Prospec ve student-athletes will see Liberty as a serious contender in NCAA Division I athle cs,” con nued Falwell. “We’ll be able to be er recruit the top student-athletes in every sport. Improvements like this will help us convey the message that Liberty is achieving excellence in academics and in all of our facili es and programs. I think this will provide a major boost in both our athle cs and academic recrui ng. My father always said, ‘If it’s Chris an, it ought to be be er.’” A complete list of the previous Walter Payton Award winners: 2010 - Jeremy Moses, QB, Stephen F.

State 43, No. 22/18 Liberty 21 Sept. 3, 2011 - Raleigh, N.C. - Carter-Finley Stadium (56,564) No. 22/18 Liberty commi ed seven turnovers, including two during the final five minutes of the game, which broke open a close contest with N.C. State. The last two giveaways led to the Wolfpack’s final 13 points in a 43-21 win over Liberty inside of Carter-Finley Stadium. The loss is only the second seasonopening setback for the Flames during the six-year tenure of head coach Danny Rocco. The first was a 33-20 loss to the BIG EAST’s West Virginia to open up the 2009 campaign. Nearly 15 minutes of football went by before either team could put a dent in the scoreboard, as N.C. State took its first lead of the evening on a 32-yard field goal by Niklas Sade. The two teams traded a pair of possessions before the Wolfpack mounted an 11play, 64-yard scoring drive that gave Sade, a true freshman, his first collegiate field goal. The drive nearly started 20 yards back, as a punt by Mike Larsson was almost downed at the N.C. State one-yard line. However, the ball just trickled into the end zone to give N.C. State possession at its own 20-yard line. Five-straight rushing plays led to four comple ons in a row by N.C. State quarterback Mike Glennon. A fi h-consecu ve try was unsuccessful when Glennon was flushed from the pocket and had to hurry an a empt to Jay Smith to set up the field goal. A pair of miscues early in the second quarter led to some excitement and the first Liberty lead of the evening. A high snap to Mike Brown led to a loose ball, as the ball was stripped from Liberty’s senior quarterback by Darryl Cato-Bishop and picked up by Audie Cole at the N.C. State 38-yard line. However, Liberty quickly returned the favor and sacked Glennon on the next play. The tackle by Walt Aikens jarred the ball loose and Francis Bah picked up the free ball and returned it 32 yards to give Liberty a 7-3 edge with 13:30 le in the opening half. The score remained the same for the next 10 minutes un l an 82-yard punt return by T.J. Graham gave N.C. State a 9-7 lead with 3:38 remaining un l hal ime. Liberty was forced to punt on a fourthand-12 play at its own 35-yard line. Larsson’s punt skipped over Graham’s head and the senior only gained five yards before being tackled. However, the Wolfpack were called for holding on the play and the Flames elected to retry the punt to a empt to pin N.C. State inside its 20-yard line. Graham then took advantage of the extra opportunity, as the senior fielded the ball and quickly got to the outside. A er ge ng one last key block around midfield, the senior found the end zone for his second career punt return and the 11th-longest in N.C. State history. A penalty was called on the point a er a empt and Sade did not find the extra chance to his liking, as the freshman missed to the right to keep the score 9-7. Another Liberty turnover allowed the Wolfpack to extend their lead to 16-7 going into the locker room at hal ime. Following a 39-yard kickoff return by Kevin Fogg, Liberty started with possession at the N.C. State 47-yard line. A er a two-yard rushing gain by Sirchauncey Holloway, Brown’s a empted pass over the middle was intercepted by D.J. Green to give the home team the ball back. Following two lengthy passing plays by Glennon, Liberty nearly made a goal line stand. But a second effort by James Washington gave the junior hal ack a oneyard touchdown score, capping off a quick 10-play, 57-yard drive to extend N.C. State’s margin to nine with 32 seconds le before the hal ime break. The third turnover of the game by Brown led to N.C. State’s first touchdown of the second half. Trying to reach the firstdown marker on a second-and-seven play, Brown was stopped one yard short by Earl Wolff. While the safety was bringing Brown to the ground, he stripped the ball loose. Brian Slay recovered the miscue and returned it 52 yards for a score. The fourthlongest fumble return in Wolfpack history pushed N.C. State’s lead to 23-7 at the 8:51 mark of the third quarter. Following a 24-yard return by Korrey Davis, Brown got to the outside for a 21-yard burst. N.C. State was whistled for a late hit out of bounds, giving the Flames the ball at the 27-yard line. The Walter Payton candidate connec on of Brown and Chris Summers then found each other for the first me in 2011. Brown lo ed a ball into the end zone 27 yards downfield, giving Summers his 20th career touchdown. Following a short pass from Brown to Pat Kelly in the back le corner of the end zone, the two-point conversion pulled the Flames within eight, 23-15, 25 seconds later. Big plays con nue to lead to scoring efforts, this me benefi ng the homestanding Wolfpack. A er a 44-yard kickoff return by Graham that started N.C. State at Liberty’s 33-yard line, Cur s Underwood scored two plays later on a 33-yard run to give the Wolfpack a 15-point edge, 30-15, just 10 seconds a er Liberty’s score. The Flames pieced together an eightplay, 40-yard scoring drive to pull back within 12 points, 30-18, following a 50-yard field goal by two- me All-America kicker Ma Bevins. The 50-yard boot was the fourth 50plus yard field goal of the senior’s career. A er Liberty forced a three-and-out series, the Flames con nued to chip away at N.C. State’s advantage. Another eight-play drive stalled at the 21-yard line when Aldreakis Allen was stopped on an a empted run on a third-and-three play. Liberty was forced to se le for Bevins’ second field goal of the second half, a 38-yarder, trimming the lead to nine, 30-21, just 39 seconds into the final quarter. The three-pointer was his school-record 56th of his career. Six minutes later, Rocco challenged a call and got the ini al ruling on the field overturned, giving the Flames the ball back a er a fumble by Underwood at the N.C. State 32-yard line. However, Brown fumbled on the very next play when he was struck by Jeff Rieskamp and the loose football was scooped up by Slay with 7:40 le to play. During the remaining minutes of the contest, N.C. State scored twice, once on a Glennon pass to Mario Carter and the second on a 19-yard rushing touchdown by Washington. Washington’s second score of the night was set up by an intercep on, when David Amerson picked off Brown for the third and final me of the night.

The two teams used most of the first quarter to feel each other out, as the game remained scoreless through the first nine minutes. Liberty had excellent star ng posi on for its second drive of the game, thanks to a 30-yard punt return by B.J. Hayes. The Big South preseason all-conference punt returner fielded the Tony LaMancusa punt at the Robert Morris 42-yard line and found a seam down the middle of the field to get to the Robert Morris 12-yard line. Following a seven-yard gain by Sirchauncey Holloway, Walter Payton Award candidate Mike Brown called his own number. The senior quickly got to the outside to score his 21st career rushing touchdown, giving Liberty a 7-0 lead a er a five-yard run. The Flames doubled their lead during the closing minutes of the opening quarter, thanks to a two-player connec on. Liberty managed to quickly march downfield, scoring on a six-play, 85-yard drive that took just 1:43 off the clock. Four of the six plays were pass comple ons from Brown to Pat Kelly, including the scoring dart, a 39yard lo ed ball into the corner of the zone. The second quarter was dominated by both team’s defensive units, with the two teams combining for 89 total offensive yards during the second 15-minutes of the game. The lone legi mate scoring chance either squad had during the period came late, as Liberty penetrated the Colonials 20-yard line shortly a er Kevin Fogg picked off a Jeff Sinclair pass. However, Holloway gave the ball back four plays later, when it came loose on a run up the middle and was recovered by Sam Miller at the Robert Morris 15-yard line. Robert Morris had more chances to advance the ball during the first half, finishing the opening 30 minutes of the game with 34 plays to Liberty’s 30 plays. But the Flames made the most of their chances, more than doubling the Colonials with a 193 to 81 total offensive yard edge. Brown was once again Liberty’s top offensive weapon, accoun ng for 167 of Liberty’s 193 total offensive yards. Brown carried the ball eight mes for 29 yards and a score, while comple ng 10-of-14 passing a empts for 138 yards and a scoring pass. Kelly was Brown’s top target, finishing the first half with four catches for 75 yards, which all came on the last scoring drive of the opening half. Robert Morris was paced by Jus n Brooks and Sinclair during the first half. Brooks rushed 10 mes for 30 yards, while Sinclair completed 6-of-13 passing a empts. The story of the third quarter was a pair of intercep ons during the 15-minute span that allowed the Flames to increase their lead by 14 points. Fogg became the first player since the 2004 season to intercept two passes in one game, when he stepped in front of a Sinclair pass and returned it 11 yards to the Robert Morris four-yard line. The last player to accomplish the same feat was Jordan Alford against Elon during the closing game of the year on Nov. 20. Two plays later, Brown scored from one yard out, but the play was negated a er a Liberty holding penalty. The flag only delayed Brown’s second rushing touchdown of the game, as the quarterback carried the ball on each of the next two plays, including a seven-yard scamper at 8:21 to push Liberty’s lead to 21-0. Robert Morris managed to cross the 50-yard line for the first me on the night during the ensuing drive, only to give it away six plays later. The Colonials looked like they were piecing together their first scoring effort of the night, ge ng to the Liberty 33-yard line. However, Walt Aikens intercepted a pass at the 29-yard line, Sinclair’s third thrown intercep on of the night, to give the Flames the ball back. Liberty used exactly 120 seconds on the next drive, marching 65 yards downfield on six plays to push its lead to 28-0 at the 1:50 mark. Two deep passing plays spotlighted the driving effort. The first was slant to Chris Summers, with Liberty’s other Walter Payton Award candidate catching a 26-yard strike in double coverage. Four plays later, Brown was able to avoid the Robert Morris pass rush and found Ryan Ferguson open in the end zone for his first collegiate touchdown on a 37-yard passing play. The Colonials finally cracked the scoreboard during their opening drive of the fourth quarter, piecing together their longest drive of the day of 12 plays and 67 yards. The scoring push was capped off by a nine-yard passing strike to Vince Mongelluzzo at the 10:25 mark. Liberty quickly answered back and sealed the victory, when Fogg returned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown, giving the Flames their first special teams score of the 2011 season. Ma Bevins capped off the night with a 23-yard field goal at the 2:17 mark, his 16thstraight field goal and the 57th of his career. Liberty outgained Robert Morris on the night with 355 total offensive yards to the visitor’s 234, despite the Colonials finishing the night with 69 total plays to the Flames 56. Brown had his 13th-straight 200-plus total offensive yard game, as the senior finished with 252 yards. The quarterback led the Flames rushing effort with 11 carries for 43 yards, while comple ng 13-of-22 passing plays for 209 yards. Brown played a part in all four of Liberty’s offensive touchdowns, throwing for two and rushing for two more. Kelly led all Liberty receivers with his four first-half catches for 75 yards. Summers and Ferguson each finished the night with iden cal numbers, hauling in three passes for 55 yards. Brooks led the Colonials with 22 rushing a empts for 86 yards, while Sinclair finished the night 12-of-26 passing for 105 yards, three intercep ons and a touchdown pass. Liberty’s defensive leader on the night was Brent Vinson, who ed a career high with eight tackles, including 1.5 sacks for a loss of 19 total yards. KaJuan Lee also ed a career high, matching his seven-tackle effort against Gardner-Webb in 2009 with the same number of stops.

Big plays helped the visi ng Dukes get on the scoreboard first, with James Madison scoring quickly on its opening drive of the game. Jordan Anderson opened the contest with a 32-yard kickoff return, thanks to the sophomore finding a hole late during the return. Two 24-yard plays during the seven-play, 55-yard scoring drive keyed the opening push by the James Madison offense. The first was a 24-yard pass play from Jus n Thorpe to Renard Robinson and the second was a 24-yard rushing effort by Dae’Quan Sco to get inside the red zone. Sco kept the ball on the next two plays, including a three-yard scoring burst up the middle, giving James Madison a 7-0 edge at 11:30. Sizeable gains con nued to be the theme of the first half and the largest of the opening 30 minutes of the game for Liberty seemed to get the Flames into scoring posion. On the first play of the second quarter, Mike Brown rolled out and hit B.J. Hayes open in the flat and the senior scampered 60 yards down the field before he was pushed out of bounds. The longest recep on in Hayes’ career got Liberty down to the 10-yard line; however, Brown was sacked for a three-yard loss and the Flames were whistled for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The nega ve-yardage stop and the flag pushed the Flames back to the 36-yard line, where Ma Bevins missed his second 43-yard field goal a empt on the night. The first, which took place during the middle of the first quarter, snapped a string of 16-straight successful field goal a empts. The Dukes responded and pieced together their longest scoring drive of the night, when Cameron Strarke connected on a 32-yard field goal with 5:07 le on the opening half clock. The boot capped off a 14play, 7:50-drive to put the visitors up, 10-0. The field goal ba le con nued and this me the Flames were able to crack the scoreboard a er another drive stalled inside the James Madison 10-yard line. Thanks to a 26-yard kickoff return by Kevin Fogg and a 28-yard Hayes recepon, Liberty was able to penetrate deep into Dukes territory. The Flames tried to find the end zone on a flag route from Brown to Summers, but the senior was well defended and Liberty had to se le for a 24-yard field goal by Alex Kacere. The 24-yard kick was the first of the redshirt freshman’s Liberty career and trimmed the visitor’s hal ime lead to 10-3. Head coach Danny Rocco and his staff seemed to make some hal ime adjustments, which resulted in Liberty rushing seven out of 10 plays for 28 yards on the 42yard scoring drive to start the second half. The last was a two-yard scramble by Brown to the right, as the Walter Payton Award candidate leaped over a pile of James Madison defenders and stretched the ball over the goal line to knot the game at 10-10 with 9:33 le in the third quarter. The Dukes quickly responded with their own 10-play effort, this one amounting for 74 yards that allowed the visitors to regain the lead on Sco ’s second scoring run of the night. The Flames tried to keep the scoring drive to three points, but the Dukes’ offensive line opened up a sizeable hole on the right side, giving Sco enough room to break free for a 10-yard run on a third-andone play and put James Madison up 17-10 at the 4:32 mark. The back-and-forth ba le con nued with Liberty tying the game for the second me, following an eight-play, 68-yard drive during the closing seconds of the third quarter. The Brown to Hayes connec on con nued, as the seniors found each other on two key third-down plays. The first was a 28-yard recep on over the middle of the field to get the Flames into the red zone, while the second came three plays later when Brown rolled out and found Hayes on the near side of the field on a fiveyard slate with 57 seconds remaining in the third. James Madison answered right back with the Dukes keeping it on the ground seven mes on the nine-play, 63-yard scoring drive. The seventh and final me, Sco crossed the goal line for the third me on the night, giving James Madison a 24-17 lead with 12:16 le in the game. Liberty tried to keep the back-and-forth ba le going by answering again. Another lengthy return by Fogg for 27 yards, followed by a 19-yard play ac on pass from Brown to ght end Tommy Shaver got the Flames into Dukes territory. However, Brown commi ed the game’s first turnover on a deep pass play just in front of the end zone that was intercepted by Jakarie Jackson to give the Dukes the ball back with 11 minutes le to play in the game. The Dukes nearly gave the ball back three plays later, when Thorpe fumbled the ball on an op on play. James Madison was forced to punt following their second third-and-out series of the evening. Three plays later, Brown was able to successful connect on another deep pass, when he found Chris Summers, the other Walter Payton Award candidate, open over the middle. The senior caught the ball at the 20-yard line and quickly got to the corner of the end zone to knot the score at 24-24 with 7:45 le in the fourth quarter. The Flames tried to move the ball on the ensuing drive and crossed midfield a er a 27-yard pass comple on from Brown to Summers. However, the recep on was negated a er Liberty’s 11th and final penalty of the night. The play forced a third-and-22 situa on, where Brown was sacked for the third me on the night. Mike Larsson connected on a 59-yard punt that rolled more than 20 yards, pu ng James Madison at its own 25-yard line with just over two minutes le . Sco carried the ball five mes on the next drive, while Thorpe completed both his pass a empts to quickly move the Dukes down the field. The first comple on was the game-winning drive’s key play, as the redshirt junior completed a 32-yard pass over the middle to Kerby Long on a third-and-two play to extend the drive. Five plays later, Starke connected on the game-winner, more than clearing the upright in the south end zone on a 40-yarder as the game clock expired.
