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 acti ve winning streak among FCS program, as the Flames are ti ed 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 fi ft h ti me in program history, the Flames are off to a 3-0 start. The last ti me Liberty accomplished the feat, the Flames reeled off four straight to open the 1997 season. Liberty has won its fi rst 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 fi rst six games.

Rocco’s Road Record Head coach Danny Rocco put a strong emphasis during the off season on road wins. During his fi rst 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 ti me Liberty won back-to-back non-conference road games was in 1997, when the Flames fi nished the campaign 6-0 in road games, including a 25-19 victory over No. 15 Appalachian State to close out its 9-2 season.

Pitti ng the Best against the Best Today’s game will mark Liberty’s fi rst match-up of two nati onally 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 nati on’s Top 25 respecti ve polls.

Facing the Best Liberty enters today’s match-up with No. 23 Youngstown State with an 8-39 record against nati onally 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 nati onally ranked FCS opponents. Liberty has faced Youngstown State twice when the Penguins were nati onally 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 halft ime defi cit to pick up the win. The three-point victory marked the fi rst ti me a Danny Rocco-led Flames team overcame a halft ime defi cit, as Liberty was winless in four previous tries. Liberty was ti ed 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 nine-game run where the Flames had rolled up 30 or more points on the scoreboard. Liberty picked up the road victory by a fi nal margin of 19-16. Despite the lower-scoring output in its previous game, Liberty sti ll ranks No. 10 nati onally in scoring, as the Flames are averaging 37.3 points per game. The Flames shatt ered school and Big South records last year, when Liberty fi nished 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 fi nished the Western Carolina with a 15:12 ti me 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 fi nished with a 15:34 TOP advantage. Against Western Carolina, Liberty fi nished the second (12:25) and third (10:28) quarters by holding onto the ball for more than 10 minutes per period.

Liberty currently ranks No. 26 nati onally in rushing defense, allowing 99.00 team rushing yards per game.

The Best of the Best Liberty is one of fi ve FCS programs in the country to rank inside the Top 20 in both scoring off ense and scoring defense. The Flames currently rank No. 10 in scoring off ense (37.3 points per game) and No. 17 in scoring defense (17.7 points per game). Liberty is joined by Yale, Prairie View, San Diego and Western Illinois as one of the elite well rounded programs nati onally.

Returning Rampage Liberty returned four kickoff s for 125 yards against Western Carolina on Sept. 13, averaging 31.2 yards per return. Liberty currently ranks No. 4 nati onally in kickoff returns, averaging 27.92 yards per return. The Flames are one of 12 FCS programs to have returned a kickoff for a touchdown in 2008, recording a 76-yard return against North Greenville in its season opener.

Punt Return Prowess Liberty was held to a 4.2 average yards per punt return against Western Carolina on Sept. 13 (four punt returns for 17 yards), the Flames lowest single-game punt return average since two punt returns for six yards (3.0 per return) against Charleston Southern last year.

Return King Trio Liberty is one of three programs among the FCS ranks to have returned both a kick off and a punt for a touchdown in 2008. The Flames returned a kickoff 76 yards for a score against North Greenville and a punt 72 yards to the end zone against Glenville State. The Flames are joined by Hampton (two punt and two kickoff s returned for touchdowns) and James Madison (one punt and one kickoff returned for a touchdowns) in the elite group.

Protecti ng the Passer For the second-straight game, the Flames fi nished 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 ti mes. Since then, the senior has stood on his feet the past two games. Liberty currently ranks No. 22 nati onally in sacks allowed, averaging 1.00 per game. Last year, Liberty fi nished 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 ti mes in 2007.

Touchdown Streak Halted For the fi rst ti me in 18 games, Zach Terrell failed to record a rushing touchdown in a game, as the senior fi nished the Western Carolina game with eight carries for 51 yards without fi nding 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 ti mes for 20 yards without fi nding the end zone against Wake Forest.

Near-Perfect Passer Brock Smith fi nished the Western Carolina game by competi ng 16-of-26 pass att empts 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 nati onally in passing effi ciency in

both 2008 and among current FCS passers. This year, the senior has posted a 172.71 passer rati ng, while he is the current school record holder with a 143.9 pass effi ciency rati ng.

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 fi rst lead against Western Carolina on Sept. 13. The senior currently leads the Big South and ranks ti ed for No. 13 nati onally 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 halft ime 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 off ensive 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 Off ensive Player of the Year at the conference’s annual media day on July 25. Jennings, last year’s Big South Off ensive 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 fi rst-team honors as the nati on’s premium FCS running back, while Bolden was recognized for his stellar return abiliti es as a third-team honoree at kickoff return specialist. Both Jennings and Bolden were named to the Sports Network’s honorable-menti on All-America squad at their respecti ve positi ons at the end of the 2007 campaign.

Considered the Heisman Trophy of FCS football, the Walter Payton Award was named for the legend-ary Jackson State and Chicago Bears running back. It was established in 1987 by The Sports Network and is presented annually to the top off en-sive player in FCS football. Previous winners of the honor include NFL standouts such as the Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Romo (2002, Eastern Illinois), Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook (2001, Villanova) and quarterback Steve McNair formerly of the Balti more Ravens (1994, Alcorn State).

A plethora of preseason disti ncti ons for Liberty’s Rashad Jennings culminated with one of the nati on’s top FCS honors, as the running back was named to the preseason Walter Payton Award watch list on Aug. 29, 2008. The preseason list of the 16 best FCS off ensive players in the nati on was announced by the Sports Network, the organizati on which will conduct the voti ng for the presti gious honor. The selecti ons in-cluded seven running backs, six quarterbacks and three wide receivers. The Walter Payton Award watch list will be updated three ti mes throughout the season, before vot-ing takes place aft er the conclusion of the regular season. The list will be updated early in October and November before being fi nalized on Nov. 24. The top three fi nalists will be announced by the Sports Network on Dec. 1, while the winner will be announced at the Sports Network FCS Awards Dinner, held on the eve of the NCAA Division I Football Championship game (Dec. 18). Jennings is Liberty’s fi rst-ever football player to land a spot on the Walter Payton Award watch list.

Liberty extended its FCS nati on-leading home winning streak to nine-straight games, opening the year with a 49-10 win over visit-ing 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 fi ft h ti me 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, dati ng back to the previous year. The run was ti ed 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 att end a Liberty home game and the largest to ever see a Flames victory. The fi gure 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 jitt ers plagued both squads with a pair of miscues leading to two turn-overs 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 Rich-ard Harb tried to fi nd 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 fi rst career intercepti on at Liberty’s 39-yard line. Eight plays later, Zach Terrell, who was moved to wide receiver in the off season, found a way to conti nue his amazing rush-ing 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-consecuti ve game with a rushing touchdown and lift ed Liberty to a 7-0 edge with 3:01 left in the fi rst.

Liberty’s defensive backs made their second big play of the game, when Chuck Duff ey 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 ti me 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 six-yard rushing touchdown to push the Flames’ lead to 21-0, 12:00 before halft ime. Aft er the fi rst three-and-out series of the game, Liberty quickly added to its lead with its fi rst big off ensive play of the game. Smith dropped back in the pocket at midfi eld 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 fi rst half. The North Greenville off ense pieced together its fi rst sustained drive of the fi rst half, following the touchdown pass, getti ng inside Liberty’s red zone. However, the drive stalled at the seven yard line aft er a four-yard tackle for a loss by defensive captain Nick Hursky. The Crusad-ers had to sett le for a 24-yard Michael Sears fi eld goal to put the visitors on the score-board, 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. Aft er 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 ti mes 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 off ensive yards on the night, averaging 7.7 yards per play. The Crusaders fi nished the game with 247 total off ensive yards, averaging 3.4 yards per play. The Flames led an even off ensive att ack, 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. Penalti es plagued the contest, as Liberty was whistled for 13 infracti ons 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, hitti ng the mark on the nose on 13 carries. The senior found the end zone twice during the contest, marking his 11th career multi ple-touchdown game and the sixth ti me in the last seven contests. Terrell followed by rushing eight ti mes for 70 yards and his 27th career rushing touchdown. Smith had pinpoint accuracy on the evening, completi ng 14-of-17 pass att empts for 171 yards and two touchdowns. Spencer Landis saw considerable ti me in the second half, completi ng 3-of-4 passing att empts for 28 yards. Bolden led eight diff erent receivers, posti ng his fi rst collegiate 100-yard game by catching fi ve passes for 100 yards. Crawford followed by matching Bolden with fi ve re-cepti ons for 44 yards. Both receivers fi nished the game with touchdown recepti ons. Chad Brown lead a near 100 team tackle total in the game (95 for Liberty), fi nishing the contest with a career-best seven stops. The linebacker duo of Patrick Bannon and Nick Hursky ended the game with six stops apiece.

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 lon-gest in the country among FCS programs at the point of the contest. The Flames entered the game ti ed with Dayton, as the Flyers had also claimed nine-straight home wins. How-ever, Dayton had the weekend off before it hosted Fordham at home on Sept. 13. The Flames wasted litt le ti me getti ng on the scoreboard, fi nding the end zone on the fourth play of their opening possession. On a third-and-three play from the Lib-erty 28-yard line, quarterback Brock Smith dumped a pass off to Dominic Bolden. The senior made an acrobati c catch, and following two key blocks down fi eld, scoring on a 72-yard touchdown recepti on. The lon-gest recepti on of Bolden’s career put Liberty up 7-0 at the 12:14 mark of the fi rst. Liberty conti nued to pepper the airways, making quick work off ensively. Aft er a sec-ond 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 recepti on. Big plays persisted, but this ti me 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 bett ered the run by busti ng through the line for a 56-yard rushing touchdown with 8:01 left to play in the opening period. Liberty responded by mounti ng its longest drive of the fi rst quarter, pieced together a fi ve-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 fresh-man caught a ball in open space at midfi eld,

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-consecuti ve games, fi nding a gap in the line for a one-yard score. Paul Young’s point aft er att empt was blocked, leaving the score at 20-7 with 5:38 left to play in the high-scoring fi rst period. The margin remained the same unti l the second quarter, when Liberty’s defense forced the Pioneers to punt for the third ti me in the game. Dustan Fox booted the ball 41 yards downfi eld with Bolden fi elding it at the 28-yard line. Just like his touchdown catch, the senior used several key blocks, which opened up holes for Bolden’s fi rst 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 abil-ity one last ti me before the halft ime 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 fi eld 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 fi nal two minutes of the game and recovered an on-side kick for a third possession. But a pair of negati ve-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 att ack by carrying the ball 24 ti mes for 110 yards and the one-yard touchdown. Seymour rushed 15 ti mes for 145 yards and a score, averaging an impressive 9.7 yards per rushing att empt. Smith completed 7-of-11 pass att empts for 202 yards and three touchdowns. The contest marked the sixth ti me the quarter-back has tossed three touchdowns in a single game and moved the senior into fourth

place on Liberty’s all-ti me 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 recep-ti ons for 77 yards and a score. Bolden made the most of his three catches, fi nishing the game with 88 yards and two touchdown passes. Bolden also fi nished the contest with 265 total all-purpose yards, ranking as the fi ft h most in Big South Conference single-game history. A pair of newcomers paced the Flames defensive eff ort.

No. 25 Liberty withstood two fourth quarter touchdowns and made a key fourth-down stop with 1:39 remaining to hold on for a 19-16 road victory over Western Caro-lina, on Sept. 13, at E.J. Whitmore Stadium. With the victory, the Flames moved to 3-0 for the fi rst ti me since the 1997 season, a year Liberty fi nished its campaign with a 9-2 overall record. Western Carolina’s second-straight loss dropped the Catamounts to 1-2 on the season. The three-point win also pushed Lib-erty’s winning streak to eight games, dati ng back to its 2007 Big South championship season. The winning streak was the second longest acti ve winning streak among FCS program at the ti me, ranking one behind Dayton’s nine-game streak. The Flyers also held on for a 23-20 home victory over Ford-ham earlier in the day. Aft er holding the homestanding Cata-mounts 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 fi ve ti mes for 17 yards, while quarterback Brock Smith completed 3-of-5 pass att empts for 37 yards to move the Flames into scoring positi on. A majority of the senior’s passing yardage came on a 26-yard completi on 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 booti ng a 29-yard fi eld goal through the uprights with 7:40 left on the fi rst 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 fi eld, and scored on a 15-yard sweep. The scoring jaunt was the fi rst 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, Lib-erty drove downfi eld 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 sett le for a fi eld goal att empt. However, a 30-yard att empt by Shipps att empt 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 halft ime. Liberty’s off ense had one more chance before intermission, driving down to the Cat-amounts’ four-yard line. The Flames looked like they might get their fi rst touchdown of the evening, when Smith broke out of the pocket and found Corey Rasberry open in the fl at. But, the fl oati ng pass slipped through the ti ght end’s fi ngers, leaving the Flames to sett le for a 27-yard fi eld goal by Shipps with 32:5 ti cks 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 fi rst 30 minutes of ac-ti on, except on the scoreboard. Liberty held a 20:08-9:52 ti me of possession advantage and tallied 186 total off ensive yards to West-ern Carolina’s 81 total off ensive yards. Liberty conti nued to control the batt le for the clock, grinding out an 80-plus yard, opening drive of the fi rst half. But once again, the Catamounts kept the Flames out of the end zone, as Liberty took the lead mo-mentarily on a 23-yard fi eld goal by Shipps. However, Western Carolina was whistled for an unsportsmanlike penalty on the kicking att empt 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 fi eld. The senior scored when he completed his three-yard rushing play with a burst through two defenders, putti ng Liberty on top for the fi rst ti me 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 down-fi eld, 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 ti me, 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 fi rst play of the fourth quarter, as Horn found Marquel Pitt man open on a screen pass. The sophomore took the ball and found several holes in Liberty’s downfi eld defense, scoring on a 78-yard touchdown recepti on. Blake Bosti c conti nued 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. Aft er a three-and-out series by Liberty, the Catamounts conti nued to pressure the Flames, getti ng 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 sett le for a 38-yard, Bosti c fi eld 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 att empt 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 sti ll dominate in the box score totals. Liberty fi nished with 72 plays to the Catamounts 52 plays, enabling the Flames to outgain the home team 338 yards to 247. Liberty also fi nished the game with 37:36 of total ti me of possession.
