a No. 71 flag underneath the Liberty Flames
flag above the South end zone, just prior to
the team taking the field, bringing the 14,925
fans in attendance to their feet.

permanent part of the Flames’ pregame
ceremonies at all home football games. A

honoree was Josh McDougal, Liberty’s former

Streaking Toward a Record
Liberty’s current eight-game winning
streak ranks as the second longest in program
history. The Flames also won eight games that
spanned the 1992-93 seasons, while Liberty
posted a program-best 10-game winning
streak that ran over the 1988-89 seasons.
Eight Is Great
Liberty’s current eight-game winning
streak ranks as the second-longest active
winning streak among FCS program, as the
Flames are tied with the Ivy League’s Harvard.
Dayton currently leads all FCS programs, as
the Flyers have knocked off their last 10 foes.
Triple the Fun
For the fifth time in program history, the
Flames are off to a 3-0 start. The last time
Liberty accomplished the feat, the Flames
reeled off four straight to open the 1997
season. Liberty has won its first four games to
open a season twice (1990 and 1997), while
the program record was set in 1989 when the
Flames opened the season by winning their
first six games.
Rocco’s Road Record
Head coach Danny Rocco put a strong
emphasis during the offseason on road
wins. During his first two years at Liberty,
the Flames have posted a 5-6 road record,
with a trio of those victories coming at the
hands of Big South opponents. Prior to
Liberty’s Sept. 13 road victory over Western
Carolina, Liberty’s lone non-conference road
victory under Rocco was a 28-0 shutout over
Savannah State on Sept. 23, 2006.
The Last Time
Liberty will be looking to pick up its
fourth-straight road victory this weekend
when it travels to Youngstown, Ohio.
However, two of Liberty’s three previous road
wins came at the hands of Big South foes.
The last time Liberty won back-to-back nonconference road games was in 1997, when
the Flames finished the campaign 6-0 in road
games, including a 25-19 victory over No. 15
Appalachian State to close out its 9-2 season.
Pitting the Best against the Best
Today’s game will mark Liberty’s first
match-up of two nationally ranked teams
since 1997, when No. 19 Liberty fell 40-27
to No. 21 Hofstra on Nov. 15 in Lynchburg.
Liberty is 0-5 in games where both teams
have been ranked inside the nation’s Top 25
respective polls.
Facing the Best
Liberty enters today’s match-up with
No. 23 Youngstown State with an 8-39 record
against nationally ranked FCS programs.
Liberty’s last win over a ranked FCS foe was a
34-20 victory over No. 24 Charleston Southern
on Nov. 11, 2006, ending a nine-year drought
against nationally ranked FCS opponents.
Liberty has faced Youngstown State
twice when the Penguins were nationally
ranked. The Flames lost 42-0 against No. 4
Youngstown State on Oct. 16, 1993, and 34-6
to a No. 7 ranked Penguin squad on Oct. 15,
1990.
Comeback Kings
During Liberty’s 19-16 road victory over
Western Carolina on Sept. 13, the Flames
overcame a 7-6 halftime deficit to pick up
the win. The three-point victory marked the
first time a Danny Rocco-led Flames team
overcame a halftime deficit, as Liberty was
winless in four previous tries. Liberty was tied
with Elon, Wake Forest and William & Mary
(twice) at the intermission and failed to climb
out of the hole for the win.
Points at a Premium
The Western Carolina game ended a ninegame run where the Flames had rolled up 30
or more points on the scoreboard. Liberty
picked up the road victory by a final margin
of 19-16. Despite the lower-scoring output
in its previous game, Liberty still ranks No.
10 nationally in scoring, as the Flames are
averaging 37.3 points per game. The Flames
shattered school and Big South records last
year, when Liberty finished its 2007 Big South
championship run by averaging 42.6 points
per game which ranked No. 3 in the country.
Keepers of the Clock
The Flames finished the Western Carolina
with a 15:12 time of possession advantage
(37:36-22:24), marking the second-largest
TOP edge for Liberty under head coach Danny
Rocco. The Flames capped off its 2007 Big
South championship run with a 31-0 shutout
over Gardner-Webb on Nov. 17, a game
that saw Liberty finished with a 15:34 TOP
advantage.
Against Western Carolina, Liberty finished
the second (12:25) and third (10:28) quarters
by holding onto the ball for more than 10
minutes per period. On the season, Liberty
currently ranks No. 53 nationally with a 30:27
average time of possession.

Flames are joined by Hampton (two punt and
two kickoffs returned for touchdowns) and
James Madison (one punt and one kickoff
returned for a touchdowns) in the elite group.
Protecting the Passer
For the second-straight game, the
Flames finished a contest without allowing
a quarterback sack in its three-point victory
over Western Carolina on Sept. 13. During
its season-opener, the Flames allowed North
Greenville to get to quarterback Brock Smith
three times.
Since then, the senior has stood on his
feet the past two games. Liberty currently
ranks No. 22 nationally in sacks allowed,
averaging 1.00 per game. Last year, Liberty
finished the season ranked No. 4 in the
country by allowing eight sacks in 11 games
(0.73 per contest).
The Big South’s Best
On Sept. 15, the Big South Conference
honored a pair of Liberty players following the
Flames’ road victory over Western Carolina.
Linebacker Chad Brown was named the
league’s top defensive player, while punter
Mike Larsson grabbed the conference’s weekly
special teams award. Liberty has dominated
the league’s weekly special teams award of
late, taking two of four this year and six out of
12 times in 2007.

Touchdown Streak Halted
For the first time in 18 games, Zach
Terrell failed to record a rushing touchdown
in a game, as the senior finished the Western
Carolina game with eight carries for 51
yards without finding the end zone. The last
game Terrell played in without rushing for a
touchdown was on Sept. 30, 2006, when the
then sophomore carried the ball four times for
20 yards without finding the end zone against
Wake Forest.
Near-Perfect Passer
Brock Smith finished the Western Carolina
game by competing 16-of-26 pass attempts
for 148 yards, enabling the senior to keep his
passing percentage at 68.5 percent for the
year (37-of-54). The quarterback currently
ranks No. 7 nationally in passing efficiency in
both 2008 and among current FCS passers.
This year, the senior has posted a 172.71
passer rating, while he is the current school
record holder with a 143.9 pass efficiency
rating.
Scoring At Will
For the third-straight game, wide receiver
Dominic Bolden found the end zone, recording
his second career rushing touchdown on a
three-yard burst to give Liberty its first lead
against Western Carolina on Sept. 13. The
senior currently leads the Big South and
ranks tied for No. 13 nationally by averaging
10.0 points per game. He has caught three
touchdown passes, rushed for another and
returned a kickoff 76 yards for a score so far in
2008.
Coaches on the Field
At halftime of the Flames’ annual Spring
Football Game on April 19, head coach Danny
Rocco tabbed six players for leadership
roles in 2008, when the skipper named his
team captains. Quarterback Brock Smith,
running back Rashad Jennings and center
Mike Godsil were named offensive team
captains. Defensively, nose guard Colin Dugan,
linebacker Nick Hursky and defensive back
Ryan Greiser were recognized as this year’s
defensive team captains.
The League’s Elite
Rashad Jennings was tabbed the Big
South Preseason Offensive Player of the Year
at the conference’s annual media day on July
25. Jennings, last year’s Big South Offensive
Player of the Year, set new Big South records
in rushing touchdowns (15), all-purpose yards
(154.3 per game), total touchdowns scored
(17) and points scored (104). Jennings, along
with seven other Flames, was named to the
Big South’s preseason all-conference team,
giving Liberty more preseason selects than
any other program in the conference this year.
Duo Grabs All-America Honors
Rashad Jennings and Dominic Bolden
were named to the Sports Network’s
Preseason All-America teams on Aug. 22.
Jennings grabbed first-team honors as
the nation’s premium FCS running back,
while Bolden was recognized for his stellar
return abilities as a third-team honoree at
kickoff return specialist. Both Jennings and
Bolden were named to the Sports Network’s
honorable-mention All-America squad at their
respective positions at the end of the 2007
campaign.

Game No. 1 - Liberty 49, North Greenville 10
Aug. 30, 2008 - Lynchburg, Va. - Williams Stadium (15,311)
Liberty extended its FCS nation-leading
home winning streak to nine-straight games,
opening the year with a 49-10 win over visiting North Greenville, on Aug. 30, at a packed
Williams Stadium.
With the victory, Liberty opened the
year with a 1-0 record and moves its mark
to 20-2 in its last 22 home-opening contests.
The win was Liberty’s third-straight by 30 or
more points and fifth time in the previous six
games. The loss dropped North Greenville to
0-1 on the season.
The victory also pushed Liberty’s overall
winning streak to six games, dating back to
the previous year. The run was tied for third
longest in program history and the longest
since the Flames won six straight during the
1992 and 1993 seasons.
The game was played in front of 15,311
fans, which ranked as the second-largest
crowd to attend a Liberty home game and
the largest to ever see a Flames victory.
The figure only ranked behind Liberty’s
2006 contest against William & Mary, when
15,631 fans packed Williams Stadium for the
Flames’ annual Homecoming contest.
Early-game jitters plagued both squads
with a pair of miscues leading to two turnovers on each squad’s opening possession.
Liberty won the coin toss and elected to
receive, but on the 10th play of the drive,
quarterback Brock Smith was sacked by
Emmanuel Davis at the North Greenville
30-yard line, and the lost ball was picked up
by Johnell Bell.
Not to be outdone by the Crusaders,
Liberty’s defense made its presence known
six plays later. North Greenville passer Richard Harb tried to find an open receiver over
the middle, but the Flames’ Ryan Greiser
tackled him just as he was trying to catch
the ball, which caromed into the arms of Tim
Torrence for his first career interception at
Liberty’s 39-yard line.
Eight plays later, Zach Terrell, who was
moved to wide receiver in the offseason,
found a way to continue his amazing rushing touchdown streak. The senior took a
pitch from Smith and found the end zone
15 yards later for a score. The scoring burst
gave Terrell his 17th-consecutive game with
a rushing touchdown and lifted Liberty to a
7-0 edge with 3:01 left in the first.
Liberty’s defensive backs made their
second big play of the game, when Chuck
Duffey stepped in front of a Harb pass at the
North Greenville 36-yard line and returned it
27 yards, deep into the Crusaders’ red zone.
Big South Preseason Player of the
Year Rashad Jennings was handed the ball
three-straight plays. On the third run, the
senior found a hole over the left tackle for a
two-yard rushing touchdown, giving Liberty
a 14-0 lead with 1:19 left in the opening
period.
On the second play of the second
quarter, Harb was picked off again, this time
by Greiser at the 40-yard line. Nearly three
minutes later, Jennings took his third handoff
of the drive and found the end zone for a sixyard rushing touchdown to push the Flames’
lead to 21-0, 12:00 before halftime.
After the first three-and-out series of
the game, Liberty quickly added to its lead
with its first big offensive play of the game.
Smith dropped back in the pocket at midfield
and found Dominic Bolden open in the near
corner of the end zone for a 48-yard scoring
strike, extending the Flames’ advantage to
28-0 with 9:25 left in the first half.
The North Greenville offense pieced
together its first sustained drive of the first
half, following the touchdown pass, getting
inside Liberty’s red zone.
However, the drive stalled at the seven
yard line after a four-yard tackle for a loss by
defensive captain Nick Hursky. The Crusaders had to settle for a 24-yard Michael Sears
field goal to put the visitors on the scoreboard, 28-3, with 2:07 remaining before the
intermission.
Liberty maintained its 28-3 advantage
entering the locker room, but quickly added
to its lead in the third quarter.
After gaining possession of the ball
following a three-and-out series, Liberty
extended its advantage when Smith found
Jonathan Crawford open for an 18-yard
scoring strike at the 12:16 mark of the third,
sealing the victory for the homestanding
Flames.
Liberty managed to score two more
times the rest of the game, highlighted by
a 76-yard kickof return for a touchdown by
Crawford midway through the third quarter.
Liberty rolled up 440 total offensive
yards on the night, averaging 7.7 yards per
play. The Crusaders finished the game with
247 total offensive yards, averaging 3.4 yards
per play. The Flames led an even offensive
attack, rushing for 241 yards and passing for
261. North Greenville predominantly passed
during the game, amassing 178 yards in the
air to 69 yards on the ground.
Penalties plagued the contest, as Liberty
was whistled for 13 infractions for 136 yards
to account for the most penalty yards under
third-year head coach Danny Rocco.
Jennings posted his 13th career 100-yard
rushing game, hitting the mark on the nose
on 13 carries. The senior found the end zone
twice during the contest, marking his 11th
career multiple-touchdown game and the
sixth time in the last seven contests. Terrell
followed by rushing eight times for 70 yards
and his 27th career rushing touchdown.
Smith had pinpoint accuracy on the
evening, completing 14-of-17 pass attempts
for 171 yards and two touchdowns. Spencer
Landis saw considerable time in the second
half, completing 3-of-4 passing attempts for
28 yards.
Bolden led eight different receivers,
posting his first collegiate 100-yard game by
catching five passes for 100 yards. Crawford
followed by matching Bolden with five receptions for 44 yards. Both receivers finished
the game with touchdown receptions.
Chad Brown lead a near 100 team tackle
total in the game (95 for Liberty), finishing
the contest with a career-best seven stops.
The linebacker duo of Patrick Bannon and
Nick Hursky ended the game with six stops
apiece.

Game No. 2 - Liberty 44, Glenville State 27
Sept. 6, 2008 - Lynchburg, Va. - Williams Stadium (13,917)
Five of Liberty’s six touchdowns on the
evening were for 20 or more yards, pushing
the Flames to a 44-27 victory over Glenville
State, on Sept. 6, in front of 13,917 fans at
Williams Stadium.
The victory, played in front of the
seventh-largest crowd in program history,
pushed Liberty’s record to 2-0. The loss
evened the Pioneers’ record at 1-1 early in
the 2008 season.
The 17-point win extended Liberty’s
home winning streak to 10 games, the longest in the country among FCS programs at
the point of the contest. The Flames entered
the game tied with Dayton, as the Flyers had
also claimed nine-straight home wins. However, Dayton had the weekend off before it
hosted Fordham at home on Sept. 13.
The Flames wasted little time getting
on the scoreboard, finding the end zone on
the fourth play of their opening possession.
On a third-and-three play from the Liberty 28-yard line, quarterback Brock Smith
dumped a pass off to Dominic Bolden.
The senior made an acrobatic catch, and
following two key blocks down field, scoring
on a 72-yard touchdown reception. The longest reception of Bolden’s career put Liberty
up 7-0 at the 12:14 mark of the first.
Liberty continued to pepper the airways,
making quick work offensively. After a second three-and-out series, Smith’s pin-point
toss to Jonathan Crawford on the near side
extended the Flames’ lead to 14-0 on the
third play of the ensuing drive with a 33-yard
touchdown reception.
Big plays persisted, but this time for
Glenville State, as the Pioneers found the
scoreboard on the second-longest rushing
touchdown surrender by a Danny Rocco-led
football team.
Following a 34-yard sweep to the right
by Jerry Seymour, the senior bettered the
run by busting through the line for a 56-yard
rushing touchdown with 8:01 left to play in
the opening period.
Liberty responded by mounting its
longest drive of the first quarter, pieced
together a five-play drive that saw the
Flames move the ball 58 yards for a score.
Mike Brown tried to get into the lengthy-play
category himself, when the redshirt freshman caught a ball in open space at midfield,
but he was shoved out of bounds by a pair of
Pioneer defenders at the two-yard line.
Two plays later, Zach Terrell pushed his
rushing touchdown streak to 18-consecutive
games, finding a gap in the line for a oneyard score. Paul Young’s point after attempt
was blocked, leaving the score at 20-7 with
5:38 left to play in the high-scoring first
period.
The margin remained the same until
the second quarter, when Liberty’s defense
forced the Pioneers to punt for the third
time in the game. Dustan Fox booted the ball
41 yards downfield with Bolden fielding it at
the 28-yard line.
Just like his touchdown catch, the senior
used several key blocks, which opened up
holes for Bolden’s first career punt return
touchdown.
The senior’s second of three scores on
the evening was his fourth career special
teams’ return for a touchdown, following
behind three kickoff returns.
Bolden showcased his big-play ability one last time before the halftime siren
sounded, catching a 28-yard pass from Smith
over his left shoulder in the far corner of the
end zone to give Liberty a 27-7 intermission
advantage.
A Matt Bevin’s 38-yard field goal midway
through the third quarter, followed by a
45-yard touchdown burst by Mike Brown in
the fourth sealed the victory for the Flames.
The Pioneers managed to tack on two late
touchdowns during the final two minutes of
the game and recovered an on-side kick for a
third possession.
But a pair of negative-yardage stops of
quarterback James McCants, including a
nine-yard sack by Trey Jacobs closed out the
victory.
Terrell posted his eighth career 100-yard
rushing game, leading the Flames 239-yard
rushing attack by carrying the ball 24 times
for 110 yards and the one-yard touchdown.
Seymour rushed 15 times for 145 yards
and a score, averaging an impressive 9.7
yards per rushing attempt.
Smith completed 7-of-11 pass attempts
for 202 yards and three touchdowns. The
contest marked the sixth time the quarterback has tossed three touchdowns in a single
game and moved the senior into fourth
place on Liberty’s all-time career touchdown
passing list.
Smith now has 36 touchdown passes
to his credit, moving past Ben Anderson’s
35 touchdowns thrown during his four-year
career (1994-97).
Crawford led the Flames with four receptions for 77 yards and a score. Bolden made
the most of his three catches, finishing the
game with 88 yards and two touchdown
passes.
Bolden also finished the contest with
265 total all-purpose yards, ranking as the
fifth most in Big South Conference singlegame history.
A pair of newcomers paced the Flames
defensive effort. Linebacker Jamal Giddens,
who got his first career start on the evening,
led Liberty with eight stops. Daryl Robertson
followed with seven stops, including three
and a half tackles for a loss.

Game No. 3 - No. 25 Liberty 19, Western Carolina 16
Sept. 13, 2008 - Cullowhee, N.C. - E.J. Whitmire Stadium (7,289)
No. 25 Liberty withstood two fourth
quarter touchdowns and made a key fourthdown stop with 1:39 remaining to hold on
for a 19-16 road victory over Western Carolina, on Sept. 13, at E.J. Whitmore Stadium.
With the victory, the Flames moved to
3-0 for the first time since the 1997 season, a
year Liberty finished its campaign with a 9-2
overall record. Western Carolina’s secondstraight loss dropped the Catamounts to 1-2
on the season.
The three-point win also pushed Liberty’s winning streak to eight games, dating
back to its 2007 Big South championship
season. The winning streak was the second
longest active winning streak among FCS
program at the time, ranking one behind
Dayton’s nine-game streak. The Flyers also
held on for a 23-20 home victory over Fordham earlier in the day.
After holding the homestanding Catamounts to a three-and-out series on their
opening possession, Liberty methodically
used its running game and a pair of key
third-down conversions to take an early lead.
Rashad Jennings carried the ball five
times for 17 yards, while quarterback Brock
Smith completed 3-of-5 pass attempts for
37 yards to move the Flames into scoring
position. A majority of the senior’s passing
yardage came on a 26-yard completion to
Dominic Bolden on a third-and-10 play from
Liberty’s 45-yard line.
Ben Shipps capped the opening 12-play,
69-yard scoring drive, which used 5:03 on
the game clock, by booting a 29-yard field
goal through the uprights with 7:40 left
on the first quarter game clock to give the
Flames the early 3-0 edge.
Liberty looked like it might hold Western
Carolina scoreless over the remainder of the
period, including a stop on a third-and-six
play from the Flames’ 29-yard line. However,
Liberty was whistled for a roughing the
passer penalty on the play, extending the
Catamounts possession.
Two plays later, Quan Warley picked up
two precise blocks on the near side of the
field, and scored on a 15-yard sweep. The
scoring jaunt was the first career touchdown
for Warley, and gave the Catamounts a 7-3
lead with 1:23 left to play in the opening
quarter.
Following fumbles by both teams, Liberty drove downfield and tried to tack points
on the scoreboard midway through the
second quarter. But the drive stalled inside
the Catamounts’ red zone at the 13-yard
line, leaving the Flames to settle for a field
goal attempt.
However, a 30-yard attempt by Shipps
attempt was blocked by a leaping Chris
Edwards at the line of scrimmage, leaving
Western Carolina a four-point lead with 5:47
left to play before halftime.
Liberty’s offense had one more chance
before intermission, driving down to the Catamounts’ four-yard line. The Flames looked
like they might get their first touchdown of
the evening, when Smith broke out of the
pocket and found Corey Rasberry open in
the flat.
But, the floating pass slipped through
the tight end’s fingers, leaving the Flames
to settle for a 27-yard field goal by Shipps
with 32:5 ticks left in the opening half, as the
home team headed to the locker room with
a 7-6 lead.
The Flames dominated every aspect of
the game during the first 30 minutes of action, except on the scoreboard. Liberty held
a 20:08-9:52 time of possession advantage
and tallied 186 total offensive yards to Western Carolina’s 81 total offensive yards.
Liberty continued to control the battle
for the clock, grinding out an 80-plus yard,
opening drive of the first half. But once
again, the Catamounts kept the Flames out
of the end zone, as Liberty took the lead momentarily on a 23-yard field goal by Shipps.
However, Western Carolina was whistled
for an unsportsmanlike penalty on the
kicking attempt to give Liberty a fresh set of
downs.
And the Flames took advantage of the
extra opportunity, when Dominic Bolden
took the handoff on a reserve to the far
side of the field. The senior scored when he
completed his three-yard rushing play with a
burst through two defenders, putting Liberty
on top for the first time in the contest, 13-7,
at the 8:44 mark of the third quarter. The
12-play, 86-yard drive used up 6:10 on the
game clock.
With Western Carolina driving downfield, Liberty’s defense forced its second
turnover of the evening. Ian Childress broke
through the line and sacked Catamounts’
quarterback Andy Horn for the second time,
forcing a fumble, which was recovered by
Chad Brown.
Eight plays later, Smith called his own
number on a one-yard keeper, scoring his
second career rushing touchdown to push
Liberty’s lead to 19-7 with 45.5 left to play
in the third quarter. Shipps extra point was
blocked, giving Liberty a 12 point edge.
The Catamounts quickly struck back on
the first play of the fourth quarter, as Horn
found Marquel Pittman open on a screen
pass. The sophomore took the ball and
found several holes in Liberty’s downfield
defense, scoring on a 78-yard touchdown
reception. Blake Bostic continued the kicking
struggles by both teams on the evening,
missing the extra point to leave Liberty up
six, 19-13, with 14:46 left to play in the ball
game.
After a three-and-out series by Liberty,
the Catamounts continued to pressure the
Flames, getting down inside Liberty’s red
zone to the seven-yard line. But a nine-yard
sack by Chad Brown, followed a delay of
game penalty on Western Carolina forced
the host team to settle for a 38-yard, Bostic
field goal at 7:12 to pull within three points
at 19-16.
A second straight three-and-out series
forced Liberty to punt the ball away with
3:34 left to play, but Mike Larsson pinned the
Catamounts deep in their own territory at
the 10-yard line on the ensuing punt.
A six-yard pass play from Horn to Warley
enabled Western Carolina to move the
chains once. But four plays later, Horn’s pass
attempt to Adam Hearns fell short of the
receiver to give Liberty possession of the ball
and enable the Flames to wind out the clock.
At game’s end, the Flames were still
dominate in the box score totals. Liberty
finished with 72 plays to the Catamounts 52
plays, enabling the Flames to outgain the
home team 338 yards to 247. Liberty also
finished the game with 37:36 of total time of
possession.
