In centuries gone by, "liberty" was just a concept -an idea feared by tyrants and dreamed of by the

opposed. In more recent history, "liberty" became acause and a deeply held belief worth fighting and dyingfor. Today, Liberty University has become a place wherestudents call home … where people dare to dream bigdreams and then work to see those dreams come topass … where old-fashioned values and morality stillsurvive and thrive in a world which appears to haveforgotten the meaning of the word … where theundeniable Truth of the Ages still reigns supreme …where the whole person is educated - body, mind andsoul … a place where you can learn, grow and achievewholeness as you become all God created you to be.

The MissionTo produce Christ-centered men and women with the

values, knowledge and skills required to impacttomorrow's world … the mission is carried out forresident students, through both undergraduate andgraduate programs, through a rigorous academicprogram and structured social environment … also, it iscarried out externally for students who can't make thetrek to the campus in a comparable academic programbut without the structure of the resident community,through a distance learning program.

A Brief HistoryFor more than 36 years, Liberty University has

produced graduates with the values, knowledge andskills required to impact the world. Founded by Dr. JerryFalwell and Dr. Elmer Towns in 1971, Liberty University isa private, coeducational, undergraduate and graduateinstitution. The University offers over 60 programs ofstudy that contribute to the University’s standing as theworld’s largest distinctively Christian, academicallyexcellent and spiritually vibrant institution. The 5,000-acre campus serves over 25,000 resident and externalstudents with a diverse student body made up ofindividuals from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and 81nations.

Liberty is truly a representation of what God can dowith a dream and a heart that desires to honor Him.

LocationSituated in Lynchburg, Va., Liberty University is nestled

in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains andlocated on the south bank of the historic James River, ina region rich in history, culture and outdoor recreationalopportunities.

FacultyLiberty University’s over 350 full-time and

more than 300 part-time faculty are committedto engaging with students in the challenge ofexploring vital links between faith and learning.There are over 450 institutions of higherlearning represented among this impressivegroup. Liberty’s commitment to personalizededucation also ensures that the student-to-professor ratio is nicely balanced at 25:1.

Degree ProgramsIn higher education, the principal means of

ensuring quality is accreditation by arecognized accrediting body or agency. LibertyUniversity is regionally accredited by theSouthern Association of Colleges and Schools(SACS), and nationally accredited by theTransnational Association of Christian Collegesand Schools (TRACS). Additionally, a number ofspecific programs are approved by accreditingand licensing bodies for specific disciplines (i.e.our nursing, sport management and educationprograms). SACS and TRACS, in turn, are bothrecognized accrediting bodies by the UnitedStates Department of Education.

Spiritual LifeThe Spiritual Life Department prepares

students to make a global impact for the gloryof God - wherever He leads them.

Life-changing campus church andconvocation services connect students withtheir Creator through passionate worship andpowerful Biblical messages custom designedfor this collegiate generation. These servicesgive Liberty students first-hand encounters withthe most influential Christians on the planet.

Each semester the Campus Pastor’s Officepersonally trains over 1,000 student leaderswho are the catalysts for the positive peerpressure and Biblical community which is theglue of Liberty University. Each year, thesestudent leaders minister personally to theirpeers and commit to love, pray for, pray withand personally disciple every student oncampus. Every student’s relationship withChrist is a priority.

Light Ministries facilitates Liberty’s globalvision by providing dozens of opportunitieseach year for the Liberty community toparticipate in cross-cultural missionsexperiences. Already over 7,000 students haveboarded planes to take the Gospel of JesusChrist to over three million people.

Strength & ConditioningThe football program utilizes a brand-new weight complex in the

Williams Football Operations Center. Opened in Jan. 2007, this 16,000-square foot weight facility is a state-of-the-art workout area, boasting 24custom-made module units which can be used for but are not limited tocleans, bench and squat.

These modules were developed for the first time for Liberty football.The power racks have over 500 holes in them to give the Liberty athleteunprecedented choices to work the precise body area they want toexercise. Power racks available on the market now only have 80 holesand limit the training of the athlete.

“This is the best football weight room in America,” said Bill Gillespie,Liberty’s head strength and conditioning coach. “This facility shows arepresentation of Liberty University and its commitment to excellence forits athletics programs.”

Liberty athletics will be ahead of the curve in strength andconditioning with this facility. The facility is built for the future anddesigned for the program to grow. Five years from now, the nuances ofthe facility will begin to become commonplace for top-flight NCAADivision I programs.

The facility maximizes money and space. The power racks alsoinclude a spot for dumb bells for the student-athletes’ convenience. Thespacious complex includes everything from cardio machines to weightedvests for plyometrics, giving the student-athlete the very best equipmentto train with.

The strength and conditioning program boastscoaches Bill Gillespie and Dave Williams, both hold-ing the distinction of Master Strength and Condition-ing Coaches by CSCCa. There are only 70 MasterStrength and Conditioning Coaches in the worldand Liberty is now the only institution from what isformally known as I-AA to have two honorees in thesame strength and conditioning program.

Everyone involved inside or outside theUniversity must do his or her part in order tofoster an environment that is supportive of theNCAA operating principle of competitive equity.Each person has a role and responsibility, whichincludes accountability and integrity when itcomes to compliance with NCAA rules andregulations.

Williams Stadium is set to celebrate its 20thseason of hosting Liberty Football in 2008.Liberty Mountain’s gridiron edifice opened itsdoors on Oct. 21, 1989, as the Flames playedhost to the Tigers of Towson State. After givingup a 42-yard field goal early in the first quarter,Liberty scored 31 unanswered points to thrill thethen record-setting homecoming crowd of12,750 fans with a 37-19 victory.

For the second consecutive season,attendance records have fallen at WilliamsStadium. Seven of the top 10 attended gamesat Williams Stadium have come in head coachDanny Rocco’s first two seasons with theFlames, including all six home games from2007. After a record-setting 2006 season,Liberty continued its high marks in 2007. TheFlames averaged a school-record 14,190 fansper contest during the 2007 season, rankingsixth in the nation as Williams Stadium was filledat 118.3 percent capacity. The mark broke theprevious average record of 11,128 fans set in2006, Rocco’s first year at the helm.

In 2007 a season-record 85,140 fans filedinto Williams Stadium for Liberty’s six homedates. That is nearly 18,400 more fans than theprevious record of 66,765, set in 2006. Whenthe mark was broken in 2006 it was nearly11,000 more fans than the previous record of55,990 set in the stadium’s second season in1990, a year the Flames played seven homegames.

On Oct.14, 2006, a Libertyand Big South

Conference record-setting 15,631 fans

filed into the on-campus facility

for the

Homecoming game against William & Mary.This record-setting contest marks the seventhand final Rocco-coached contest that ranks inthe top 10.

On Nov. 4, 2006, the Flames defeatedWestern Carolina, 21-0 at Williams Stadium. Thecontest marked a historic day in school history,as the 8,286 fans in attendance at the afternoongame helped push the Flames over the1,000,000 mark in home attendance since theinception of the program in 1973.

Entering the 2008 season, the Flames havewon nearly two-thirds of their home games,posting a 66-37 record at Williams Stadium.Liberty has recorded 16 winning home recordssince the stadium opened, including a perfect 5-0 record in 1992, and another perfect mark in2007 at 6-0. In fact Liberty enters 2008 with aneight-game winning streak inside WilliamsStadium. Entering 2008, the mark is tied withDayton for the nation’s longest FCS homewinning streak.

The stadium is located on the Libertycampus, near the site of the old football practicefields. The stadium seats 12,000, with thecapabilities for future expansion. For the 2007season, suites were added to the concourse onthe press box side. The suites are a climate-controlled environment which includes asecond-story, open-air observation deck withtent covering, and each unit seats up to 48people.

When the stadium was constructed, a fieldhouse, located at the south end of the stadium,was built, providing the football program with anon-campus facility which included a spaciousteam locker room, an equipment room and atraining facility.

Prior to the start of the 2006 season,Liberty unveiled its newest addition to theWilliams Stadium complex as the WilliamsFootball Operations Center was completed inthe north end of the stadium, giving Liberty anew state-of-the-art 60,000-square foot football-only facility, bringing all of Liberty football underone roof for the first time in the history of theprogram.

Construction for the Football OperationsCenter was made possible because of agenerous donation of $4.5 million dollars by theArt Williams Foundation. The Art WilliamsFoundation is no stranger to those familiar withthe Flames football program. Liberty’s footballstadium underwent a name change during the1994 season. The now 18-year-old facilitybecame “Williams Stadium” in honor of A.L.Williams, a major contributor to the University.

In 1998, the field received a facelift with theold sand-filled artificial surface being pulled upand a new stadium turf being laid down. Anadditional facelift took place during the summerof 2006, when the playing surface was redoneand Field Turf was installed. Field Turf is thelatest synthesized playing surface and it’sappearing all over the country, including FordField in Detroit where Super Bowl XL wasplayed in February 2006.

Seating capacity at Williams Stadium isexactly 12,000 with seating capacity on the westside of the field accommodating 6,336 fans,while the east stands seat 5,664.

A modern press box rests above the weststands and comfortably seats 25 workingmembers of the media. In the summer of 1990,Liberty added lights to give the Flames theoption of playing night games and provide afacility for local high schools to use for eveningcontests. During the 1995 season, a newconcession area was constructed at the bottomof the press box to aid in game-day concessionsales.

Haken/Corley and Associates were thearchitects who designed the stadium. Thestadium contractor was McDevitt & Street ofRaleigh, N.C. McDevitt & Street built Atlanta’sFulton County Stadium, the Diamond (baseballfacility) located in Richmond, Va., the Dean E.Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C., and theDurham Bulls’ minor league baseball park.

Williams Football Operations Center

Opened prior to the 2006 season, this 48,000-square foot building is a state-of-the-art

facility that brings all operations for the football team under one roof for the first time in

the history of the program.

The bottom floor houses specially-designed weight training equipment in a spacious

weight and conditioning area, while the second floor (at ground level) includes the team’s

locker room, academic lab, equipment room and a cutting-edge athletic training facility.

The top floor houses both coaching staff and administrative offices, numerous video

and conference rooms and a uniquely-designed viewing room which overlooks the North

end zone at Williams Stadium, where members of the Flames Club can enjoy several pre-

game festivities.

Construction for the Williams Football Operations Center was made possible due to a

generous donation of $4.5 million dollars by the Art Williams Foundation.

The Art Williams Foundation is no stranger to those familiar with the Flames football

program, as the football stadium is named in honor of Arthur L. and Angela Williams,

major contributors to Liberty University. The football stadium was given the name

Williams Stadium, which it still bares today.

The Williams Football Operations Center is just one of several facets of the redesign of

the program and is helping to usher in a New Era of Liberty Football.

Dr. Ronald Godwin servesas Executive Vice Presidentand Chief Operating Officerfor Liberty University.However, for a total of morethan 15 years, Dr. Godwin hasworked directly for the

Chancellor of Liberty Universityvia many of Liberty’s affiliated

ministries.

During a long administrative career he has held avariety of leadership positions including twopresidencies of private Christian colleges, ExecutiveVice President of the Washington Times, Executive VicePresident of the Moral Majority, President of JerryFalwell Ministries, President of Liberty BroadcastNetwork, President of Liberty University Foundation andmore recently, Dean of the Helms School of Governmentand Senior Administrator of Residential Recruiting.

Dr. Godwin and his wife, Carol Stanley Godwin,are members of Thomas Road Baptist Church and bothserve on the board of the Liberty Godparent Home. Theycurrently reside in Forest with Dr. Godwin’s 99-year oldfather, Mr. Jacob M. Godwin.

Dr. Jerry FalwellLiberty University Founder

and Former Chancellor

(1933-2007)

At the age of 22, havingjust graduated from college inJune 1956, Jerry Falwell re-turned to his hometown ofLynchburg, Va., and star tedThomas Road Baptist Churchwith 35 members. The offer-

ing that first Sunday totaledonly $135.

Falwell often said about thefirst collection, “We thought we had conquered theworld”. Today, Thomas Road Baptist Church has 24,000members and the total annual revenues of all the JerryFalwell ministries total over $200 million.

Within weeks of founding his new church in 1956,Falwell began the Old-Time Gospel Hour, a daily localradio ministry and a weekly local television ministry.Nearly five decades later, this Old-Time Gospel Hour isnow seen and heard in every American home and onevery continent except Antarctica. Through the years,over three million persons have communicated to theFalwell ministries they received Christ as Lord and Sav-ior as a result of this radio and television ministry.

In 1967, Falwell implemented his vision to build aChristian educational system for evangelical youth. Hebegan with the creation of Lynchburg Christian Acad-emy, a Christ-centered, academically-excellent, fully-ac-

credited Christian day school, providing kindergarten,elementary and high school.

In 1971, Liberty University was founded. Today,over 41,000 students from 50 states and 80 nations at-tend this accredited, liberal ar ts Christian university. Fal-well’s dream has become a reality. A pre-school childcan now enter the school system at age three, and 20 ormore years later, leave the same campus with a Ph.D.,without ever sitting in a classroom where the teacherwas not a committed follower of Jesus Christ.

Falwell was also publisher of the National LibertyJournal, a monthly newspaper which is read by over200,000 pastors and Christian workers, and the FalwellConfidential, a weekly e-mail newsletter to over 500,000pastors and Christian activists.

In June 1979, Falwell organized the Moral Majority,a conservative political lobbying movement which thepress soon dubbed the "Religious Right." During the firsttwo years of its existence, the Moral Majority attractedover 100,000 pastors, priests and rabbis and nearlyseven million religious conservatives who mobilized asa pro-life, pro-family, pro-Israel, and pro-strong nationaldefense lobbying organization.

The Moral Majority chose California GovernorRonald Reagan as "their candidate" for President in1980, registered millions of new voters, and set aboutto inform and activate a sleeping giant - 80 millionAmericans committed to faith, family and Judeo-Christ-ian values.

With the impetus of the newly organized MoralMajority, millions of people of faith voted for the firsttime in 1980 and helped elect Ronald Reagan and many

conservative congressmen and senators. Since 1979,about 30% of the American electorate has been identi-fied by media polls as the "Religious Right". Most recentmajor media surveys have acknowledged these "faithand values" voters re-elected George W. Bush in No-vember 2004.

Though perhaps better known outside Lynchburgfor political activism, Jerry Falwell's personal scheduleconfirmed his passion for being a pastor and a Christianeducator. He often stated his heartbeat was for trainingyoung people for every walk of life.

Falwell, who went home to be with the Lord at theage of 73 on May 15, 2007, was married to Macel for49 years and they have three grown children and eightgrandchildren.

2008 OUTLOOK

It’s not uncommon in the world ofcollegiate athletics for one to pick up apreseason media guide and catch a sloganpasted on the cover of the annual previewpublication.

Youthful programs will often corner themarket on phrases that involve “construction”and “building for the future,” whilethemes with the likes of “on the move”frequent the covers of up-and-comingprograms.

But how often do you see a teamlive up to its preseason billing? Forthose among the record-settingcrowds to see Liberty grace thegridiron in 2007, they witnessed theirbeloved Flames do just that, in aseason which saw the program gofrom “Good2Great.”

In 2005, the Flames posted anabysmal 1-10 record, one of thelowest points in the three-decadehistory of the program. Head coachDanny Rocco, now entering his thirdyear with the team and 25th seasonas a football coach, was brought in toright the ship.

And he did just that, as theFlames tied for the nation’s best turnaroundduring his first season. Liberty’s five-gameimprovement enabled the Flames to post a 6-5record and a 2-2 mark in Big South play.

Following the 2006 “Season toRemember,” when a stingy Liberty defense

allowed a minuscule 15.6 points per game(ranking No. 12 nationally in scoring defense),Liberty’s coaching staff deemed the 2007campaign the year they wanted to move theprogram from “Good2Great.”

Liberty accomplished its feat in diametricfashion in 2007, exploding on the offensive side

of the ball to post unheard of numbers. TheFlames bested the program’s team record forpoints scored in a season by more than 100points. Liberty averaged 42.6 points per game,ranking No. 3 nationally in scoring offense.

Liberty outscored its opponents by morethan 20 points a game (42.6 points scored to22.3 points allowed), enabling the Flames topost an 8-3 record. The eight victories markedthe fifth time in program history Liberty hadreached eight wins in a campaign and the firstsince 1997.

However, the more important benchmarkfor the program could be found within half thosevictories. The Flames’ prolific offense stormedthrough the Big South Conference, seeingLiberty post a perfect 4-0 record en route to theprogram’s first-ever league title.

“I think as you take a look back at last year,our theme for the season was going fromGood2Great,” remarked Rocco. “I think we wereable to take that step, evident in the fact wewere able to win our first-ever Big SouthConference championship.

“Winning the Big South Conferencechampionship was a great honor and anoutstanding accomplishment for this program,which just two years ago was coming off a 1-10season.”

Following Liberty’s unblemished mark inthe Big South, unprecedented accolades werelaid claim to by the team. Rocco repeated asBig South Coach of the Year, while juniorrunning back Rashad Jennings was tabbed theleague’s Offensive Player of the Year.

As a team, 22 players earned places on theBig South’s all-conference teams, setting a newconference standard. The squad also drewattention outside the league, with eight playersbeing named to the VaSID all-state team.

Eight more garnered All-Americanaccolades, including long snapper Dan Popetaking home first-team honors to mark theprogram’s first honoree since 2000.Furthermore, two players moved onto football’shighest level, as linebacker Vince Redd (NewEngland Patriots) and offensive lineman

Stephen Sene (St. Louis Rams) signedfree agent contracts to play in theNational Football League.

“What we have been able toaccomplish during our first two yearshere at Liberty is really exciting for ourprogram and our University, as well asfor the community,” reflected Rocco. “Weare at a point where I sense that thesupport of the administration, the facultyand the student body is at an all-timehigh. I really feel and sense the samething from the community, and we havevery high hopes and expectations for theupcoming season.”

Rocco has properly dubbed both hisfirst two go rounds as the Flames’ headcoach, steering the direction of theprogram upward toward play at achampionship level, not just achampionship season. Lending the

question, how has the third-year skipper labeledthe pending 2008 campaign?

“I have been saying here in the offseasonthat our program has some unfinishedbusiness,” stated Rocco. “I think this team iscapable of being even better than last year, butwe still have a lot of work to do.”

In 2006, Rocco’s squad brought a smile tothe face of a two-decade veteran of defensivefootball by keeping points off the board. Lastyear, the pendulum swung the oppositedirection with Liberty erasing offensive recordsnearly each time it took to the field.

This year, Rocco hopes his 2008 squad willbe more poised, stable and well-rounded,finding its equilibrium in all facets of the game.

“What I am hoping for this year is a morebalanced football team,” remarked Rocco. “Iwant a team which shows signs it has abilitieson offense to be explosive and to continue to beable to control the football with both our powerrun game and a short high-percentage passgame. Defensively, I think we need to get backto being a little more dominant.”

A season of “Unfinished Business” awaits awell-balanced squad of 40 returningletterwinners and 12 starters, mixed in with asolid base of youthful players ready to carry onthe rich tradition which is quickly becoming thetrademark of the Danny Rocco era at Liberty.

QuarterbacksLast year, Rocco found leadership up front

to guide his team to a Big South championship,as his behemoth offensive line paved the way togreatness. This year, the head coach will look tothe backfield to power his offense, starting withsenior quarterback Brock Smith.

“Offensively, a lot of the pieces are alreadyin place and it all always starts with the

quarterback position,” commented Rocco.“We’ve got Brock Smith coming back for hissenior year, and he has started an awful lot offootball games around here.”

During his first two years at Liberty, Smithlearned under the gun, steadilyshowing improvement game-by-game.However last year, the southpaw cameinto his own down the stretch, finishingthe year by passing for 2,226 yards and19 touchdowns.

He completed the season rankedNo. 7 nationally in passing efficiency(157.42 rating), aided by his 61.2completion percentage and his low totalof seven interceptions.

“I thought the second half of theseason last year was a great example ofwhat he is capable of doing, as hereally played at a high level,” statedRocco about the No. 14 preseasonranked FCS quarterback, as listed bythe Sports Network.

“He was a big reason for uswinning the championship. We arehopeful Brock can play at a very highlevel early in the season and throughoutthe year. Brock has such a greatunderstanding of the offense and hisposition, which should pay greatdividends for us.”

Two other quarterbacks give theFlames quite a different look behindSmith in seasoned junior SpencerLandis and relative rookie Mike Brown.

Landis has been Smith’s understudy thelast two years, seeing playing time in eight outof 11 games last year. Brown redshirted lastyear, but both reserve hurlers impressed thecoaching staff during the latest spring practicesession.

“Behind Brock, we have got two guys whowe are very excited about,” added Rocco. “Bothare uniquely different and both are verycapable. Spencer played a decent amount lastyear in substitution for Brock. Mike redshirtedlast year, and we are really excited about hisfuture promise and his athleticism. We feel rightnow as good as we ever have at thequarterback position.”

Running BacksThe legend of running backs at Liberty has

spread throughout FCS football over the lastdecade, but the legacy left behind by this year’sultra-talented running backs might just leaverecords in the books which may stand for quitesome time.

The tandem of Rashad Jennings and ZachTerrell have terrorized the Big South Conferencethe last two years. The pair has rushed for acombined 3,569 yards and 49 touchdowns overthe past two seasons.

Despite missing the first two games of the2007 season, Jennings posted numbersimpressive enough to garner Big SouthOffensive Player of the Year honors. He rushedfor 1,113 yards and 15 touchdowns, ranking No.6 nationally in scoring and No. 13 in rushing.

“Rashad is just a phenomenal player. Theway he has worked throughout his career hasreally impressed and somewhat amazed me,”remarked Rocco. “I have been in a number ofplaces, including at the NFL level, and I can tellyou, this guy physically is a specimen.

“He is in the top one percent when youtake a look at his height, weight, speed,strength, explosion and in some of the differenttests he does in the weight room,” continuedRocco about one of the top returning backs atthe FCS level. “I’m really expecting anunbelievable season from Rashad. We reallythink we have something uniquely special inRashad, and we need him to have a dominatingyear.”

The unsung hero behind Jennings is asteady workhorse in Terrell. After taking homeBig South Rookie of the Year honors in 2005,Terrell stepped to the “A” back position to allowJennings to assume the tailback role. But stepback he did not, as he has rushed for 2,104yards and 26 touchdowns, including 16-straightgames with a rushing touchdown heading intothe 2008 slate.

“Zach is a gifted running back, who hasgreat vision for the field,” said Rocco. “He has a

great sense for seeing openings and cutting. Heis bigger and stronger than defenders think.

“He is one of those guys who we are allvery proud of because of the maturity and theprogress he has made not only as an athlete,

but as a person in all areas of his life.He is very deserving of a big year.”Paving the way for Jennings and

Terrell is blue-collar worker DerekBishop at fullback. Last year, Bishoppersonally rushed just once for twoyards. But more importantly to him washelping Liberty rank No. 16 nationallyby rushing for 215.9 yards per gameand setting a school record with 32rushing touchdowns.“Derek is a stereotypical lead blocker

in the I formation,” stated Rocco. “He istough and physical and can catch apass out of the backfield. He loves toblock and he understands what he isgetting paid to do and he takes a lot ofpride in it.”Wes Cheek, Terron Lawrence and

Terry Williams lead a deep pack ofrunning backs behind the previouslymentioned trio of players.“Wes is a nice size running back who

has had flashes of brilliance here in thelast year and half,” stated Rocco. “Hisrole won’t change a whole lot becauseof Rashad and Zach being in the mix,but we will prepare him in the future togive him an opportunity to be ready forthe 2009 season”

Cheek led this reserve group last year with31 carries for 136 yards and two scores, whileLawrence and Williams followed with 96 and 83rushing yards, respectively.

“Terry is a guy who has a lot of explosionand speed,” continued Rocco. “He is coming offsome injures though and he is yet to perform atthe level we think he is capable of. But he doeshave some upside and talent when we get himback healthy and ready to go.”

Wide ReceiversPairs seem to be Liberty’s strong suit of

late, with the Flames losing two of the moreproductive receivers in recent program historyto graduation last year.

Wynton Jackson (1,923 career yards and12 TDs) and Brandon Turner (1,886 careeryards and eight TDs) consistently gavequarterback Brock Smith targets to help honehis skills.

Looking to pick up the mantle left by theduo is rising senior Dominic Bolden. Boldenranked third on last year’s squad with abreakout year, as he caught 24 passes for 415yards and tied Jackson for team-high honorswith six touchdowns.

“Despite the fact that we had somesignificant losses with Brandon Turner andWynton Jackson following graduation, DominicBolden is an explosive player with a good bit ofexperience,” stated Rocco. “He is coming off agreat spring, and we are really excited about hisspeed and his big-play capability.”

A player who came on late last year andsolidified his spot in the starting line-up duringspring workouts is Jonathan Crawford. Theformer walk-on caught 11 passes for 134 yardsin 2007, but his play during the spring left suchan indelible impression on the coaching staff,he was named the offensive recipient of theSamkon Gado Award for most improved player.

“The guy who really came on this past yearwas Jonathan Crawford,” added Rocco.“Jonathan played as a back-up last year andkind of started to show signs of being alegitimate player and a potential go-to guy. Inthe spring, he certainly solidified his status on

our football team. We are excited to see whatDominic and Jonathan can do at the widereceiver position this year.”

Liberty’s No. 3 wide receiver is MattLambos, who has gained valuable playingexperience by seeing the field in 22-straightgames. “Matt is another receiver who is big, talland fast,” remarked Rocco. “He has the sizeand ability to block and can give us some goodplay in the perimeter.”

Danny Broggin and Chris Summers givethe Flames’ coaching staff much excitementabout the future of the position.

“Some of the younger guys we are veryexcited about,” continued Rocco. “DannyBroggin has really come on, as we will look athim at both wide receiver and running back.Chris Summers is a big and tall wide receiverwho redshirted for us last year. He has an awfullot of upside and potential for us.”

Tight EndsThose looking for a NFL-style tight end like

the New York Giants’ Jeremy Shockey or theKansas City Chiefs’ Tony Gonzalez, who put upabundant offensive numbers, need not look atLiberty’s tight end position of late.

However, that is not to say the position hasgone unappreciated or unneeded. Three-timeBig South all-conference tight end Chris Luckgraduated last year, catching eight passes for175 yards and two touchdowns. But the bulky 6-5, 250-pound “Y” receiver did help pave the wayfor many of Jennings and Terrell’s runs.

“Tight end is a position that really couldhave been a concern,” commented Rocco. “Welost Chris Luck, Chris Stokes and Richard Thomall to graduation.”

In truth, four tight ends graduated last year.However, the Flames’ coaching staff hadenough forethought to redshirt Corey Rasberry,who is currently in his first year as a graduatestudent, while completing his final year ofathletic eligibility.

“Corey was very willing to redshirt, so hecould go to graduate school, play football andman the position,” reflected Rocco. “And what agreat decision that was for us. Corey is a goodfootball player. He is very equal to the guys wehad at that position last year. We certainly aren’t

taking a step back, as we have some new facesat the position and Corey is the lead guyamongst that group.”

Behind Rasberry is Will Quarles, whoimpressed the coaching staff last year,especially with the effort he gave on specialteams. “Will Quarles is a guy who has been inour program for a while and is really starting tolook like how a tight end is supposed to. He isbig, strong and versatile.”

Following Quarles are Tommy Shaver, RyanCulkin, Dominique Jones and Steven Wilkes.Shaver redshirted last year, while Culkin andJones joined the program from different routes.Culkin transferred from Virginia Tech, whileJones “transferred” up from the Vines Centerafter two years with the Flames men’sbasketball program.

“Tommy is one of those guys at hisposition you have to call him a giant. I do likewhat I see in him and he has got a ton ofpotential,” stated Rocco. “We saw just enoughin Dominique to give this young man a chance.We liked what we saw in the spring and we lookforward to seeing how he develops at the tightend position.”

Offensive LineThe tireless work by an offensive line is

quite often overlooked, but not in the case ofLiberty’s massive group last year. Undoubtedlyone of the largest average offensive lines at theFCS level, averaging 6-5, 297 pounds, all fivestarters were named to the Big South all-conference teams.

Stephen Sene (LT), Marshal Ausberry (LG)and Eddie Pinigis (RT) garnered first-teamaccolades, while Britt Stone (RG) and MikeGodsil (C) were named to the second team. Thefive helped the Flames finish the year rankedNo. 3 in scoring offense (42.64), No. 9 with 32rushing touchdowns, No. 15 in total offense(429.64) and No. 18 nationally in team rushingyards per game (215.91).

Liberty also finished the 2008 campaignranked No. 4 in sacks allowed (0.73), No. 7 intackles for loss allowed (4.18), No. 8 in passingefficiency (158.12), No. 9 in fourth-downconversion rate (66.7) and No. 29 in third-downconversion rate (42.5).

“Anyone who knows me and knows how Ithink about football, knows I think the mostimportant positions in football are your offensiveand defensive lines,” stated Rocco. “Ouroffensive line last year was probably as good asany at the FCS level. Stephen Sene signed acontract with the St. Louis Rams and Marshal

Dominic Bolden

Ausberry and Eddie Pinigis both had tryoutswith the Cleveland Browns and the BuffaloBills.”

“I went into spring practice feeling that theoffensive line was my biggest concern on thisfootball team,” continued Rocco. “But I cameout of the spring feeling the problem had beenresolved, and in fact, our offensive line wasgoing to be one of the most solid aspects of thisteam.”

Helping assure Rocco of this group’sability is Godsil, back for his third-straightseason as the Flames’ starting center. “Mike is atough, smart player, who is the strongest benchpresser on our team,” said Rocco of theprogram’s record holder in the bench press.“He really loves the game and he is the heartand soul of the offensive line.”

Moving to left guard, Stone returns afterrecording the third-most knockdowns amongoffensive linemen last year (110). “Britt Stone isthe next guy who has shown a lot ofleadership,” stated Rocco. “I am really excitedabout his progress.”

Alongside Stone at left tackle will be ZachDavis, a player who has patiently been waitingin the wings since transferring to Liberty twoyears ago. “He has been one of those guys whohave made steady improvements each year,”stated Rocco. “In theory, he is the only playeron the squad who can play center, guard ortackle and he is willing to do whatever is askedof him.”

The right side of the offensive line will bemanned by a pair of redshirt juniors in BryanMosier and Josh Weaver. Weaver started thefirst two games of last year in place of aninjured Pinigis.

“Josh has got a good bit of experience, andI think he is just coming into his own physically.We are certainly excited about where he is at,”commented Rocco. “Bryan Mosier is starting atthe other guard position as a big, tough andphysical football player.

“With Godsil at center, Mosier and Stone atthe guards and Weaver and Davis at the tacklepositions, I think we have a very solid andmature group in there, and I am excited to seethose guys work together.”

Backing up the previously mentioned fiveis a plethora of talented up-and-comingoffensive linemen. “The thing that is reallyexciting for me, and this in not to downplay thefirst five, but I think our second five have got anawful a lot of talent. They may be more talentedat some spots, but are just a bit younger,” saidRocco.

Tim Hartman, Antonio Tassara and JustinVargas will be vying for playing time at thetackle positions, while Spencer Hodges, AaronLundy, Alex Stalder and Toney White will bechallenging for time inside at guard.

“Justin has three years of eligibilityremaining as a big, athletic offensive tackle andAntonio Tassara is giant at his position,” saidRocco. “Both Justin and Antonio have a chanceto be players who can be dominant in thisleague.”

Backing up offensive team captain Godsilat center is a large group of players, led byMario Cosby, and followed by Matt Camire andMatthias Wrede.

“Mario is a center/guard type player,”remarked Rocco. “He has been in our programfor a while and has really given us someplayable depth at center and guard.”

Defensive BacksThe defensive backs, a developing group

the first two years under Rocco, has turned intowhat he believes is going to be the team’sdefensive strong suit.

“In my mind, the secondary is an areawhere, all of a sudden, this has become themost mature group of our defense,” statedRocco. “Our first two years here, I alwaysthought the secondary was the younger groupwho needed to develop. But now we have somegreat leadership back there in Patrick Calvaryand Ryan Greiser.”

On the inside is Greiser at strong safety,and on the outside is Calvary at cornerback,giving Rocco two skilled players to lead thisdeep position.

“Patrick Calvary has started here since hewas a true freshman, while Ryan Greiser hasbeen starting here for a long time as well,”added Rocco. “Both know the system and bothcan operate effectively. We are excited abouttheir senior years.”

Calvary led the Big South with fourinterceptions for a total of 100 return yards,ranking No. 29 nationally in the statisticalcategory. The senior has started 31-consecutivegames and needs just four more pass break-ups (21) to crack the Flames’ career top 5.

Greiser had a breakout year in 2007,leading the squad with 43 solo tackles, whileranking third overall with 67 stops. He tiedCalvary with six pass break-ups and added 4.5tackles for a loss of 17 total yards.

Joining Calvary on the outside at leftcornerback is Kent Hicks. In his first seasonafter transferring from Virginia Tech, Hicksranked eighth on the team in tackles (43), whilefollowing behind Calvary with threeinterceptions.

“Kent Hicks is a young man with an awfullot of talent,” said Rocco. “He has made a greatdeal of progress since transferring to Liberty.”

Rounding out the scheduled backfieldstarters is Chris Rocco at free safety. Roccofinished last year with 22 tackles, equallyrecording 11 solo and 11 assisted tackles.

Contending for playing time at the cornerpositions will be Donald Manns and TimTorrence, who both have two years of eligibilityremaining with the program. Manns recorded 19stops in nine games last year, while Torrencehad a career year with 33 tackles, three tacklesfor a loss and two pass break-ups.

“Both Donald and Tim have been back-upsfor two years, gaining valuable playingexperience,” added Rocco. “These guys arevery capable of going in there and starting agame at corner.”

Pushing Rocco and Greiser inside will beChuck Duffey and Larry Claiborne. Duffey sawplaying time in all 11 games, finishing with 13tackles, while Claiborne developed during theseason as a redshirt freshman.

“Larry has a wealth of talent and we are hopingthat he can have a breakthrough come this fall,because he could be the future at this position,”wrapped up Rocco on his defensive backs.

LinebackersThe graduation of over 20 seniors from last

year’s squad had the most notable impact ontwo positions. On the offensive side of the ball,it was the offensive line with the loss of MarshalAusberry, Stephen Sene and Eddie Pinigis.

On the defensive side, the linebackingcorps lost leading tackler Stevie Ray Lloyd, NFL-bound outside linebacker Vince Redd andthree-year starter Brandon Duke.

Lloyd led the Flames in tackling both hisyears at Liberty, including last year when hefinished with 95 tackles.

Redd signed a free agent contract with theNew England Patriots after he finished fifth onLiberty’s squad with 63 tackles, including a BigSouth-best 6.5 sacks and a team-high 13.5tackles for a loss.

Duke finished his career with 177 tackles,second only to Steven Ackley for most tacklesby an active defender.

“When you look at the linebacker position,the loss of Vince Redd, Stevie Ray Lloyd andBrandon Duke would lead you to believe thatthis is going to be a light position or not astalented,” stated Rocco. “And that might be atrue statement, but we have plenty of guys herewho can play at a very high level.”

“Nick Hursky is the leader of that groupand is a rising senior who had an outstandingyear last year,” continued Rocco. “He runs thedefense as the MIKE linebacker in this 3-4defense. He has gotten plenty of experiencenow and understands the calls. He is the heartand soul of our defense, and we really expectgreat things from him.”

Despite missing two games due to injury,Hursky ranked second on the squad with 78tackles, thanks in part to four-straight double-figure tackle games before his injury.

Ian Childress is left with the task of tryingto fill Vince Redd’s shoes at SAM linebacker.Last year, he finished with 17 tackles, threequarterback hurries and two interceptions.

“Ian has been one of those guys who hasworked hard, matured and patiently waited histurn,” commented Rocco. “Now that he has his

turn and his opportunity, I see nothing but greatthings from him in terms of his work ethic andhis commitment.”

On the other side of the defensive field willbe Kyle O’Donnell at JACK linebacker andPatrick Bannon at WILL linebacker, bothentering their sophomore seasons.

O’Donnell is a redshirt sophomore, whorecorded 14 tackles last year, while Bannonbroke out for 23 tackles, including three sacks,during his true freshman season.

“Patrick Bannon is a big, physicallinebacker,” commented Rocco. “We played himon the inside and then moved him to outside,which is a big challenge. But I know he is up tothe task this year.”

Youth dominates the remainder of theposition in reserve roles. Pierre Tinsley leadsthose challenging for playing time, as theredshirt sophomore finished last year with 18tackles, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.

“Behind our starting four, we have anumber of guys we are excited about and Pierreis certainly at the top of that group,”commented Rocco. “He has played enoughfootball here to know what is expected of himand he goes out and does it.”

Doncel Bolt and Mike Connolly could alsovie for playing time right away, while DerekLisko returns to the program after a year off tobolster the linebacking corp.

“Derek is a young man who is back in theprogram,” stated Rocco. “He had a solid springand I would envision him getting some playingtime this year.”

The names of the likes of Chad Brown andJamal Giddens have also been thrown aroundfor consideration at linebacker. “Chad has reallycome on and he is one of those guys we havehigh hopes for, but it took us a year to get himin the right spot,” concluded Rocco. “Aftermoving him around a bit, he is finally starting tofind a home and he could really start to help usthis year.”

Defensive LineSteven Ackley carried the leadership torch

for the Flames on the defensive line for almosthis entire four-year career. He finished as theteam’s active leader with 181 career tackles and30 career tackles for a loss.

The leadership role was officially bestowedupon nose guard Colin Dugan at the end ofspring ball, when the senior was tabbed one ofthree defensive team captains.

Dugan is coming off a banner year, wherehe finished sixth on the team with a career-best62 tackles, five tackles for a loss and two sacks,helping him earn Big South second-team all-conference honors.

“We came out of the spring with ColinDugan being the heart and soul of this group,”said Rocco. “He has played a lot of football forus. He has the absolute perfect body type forthat position and he is strong. He is as hardworking as anyone on our football team.”

Standing alongside Dugan will be a pair ofupperclassmen in Kevin Richard and TreyJacobs at the defensive end positions. Lastyear, Richard finished the season with 28tackles, including three sacks and a fumblerecovery.

“Kevin started every game last year for usand has really put together an outstandingcareer,” commented Rocco. “Because of hissolid productivity, I put him on full scholarship atthe end of the fall season to reward his strongefforts.”

Jacobs is a junior, who finished last yearwith 13 tackles, including eight assisted stops.“Trey is a young guy who is coming on,” statedRocco. “He certainly has all the talent and hasgot the body, height, athleticism to be anoutstanding player for us.”

Soeren Wendland leads a trio of returningcontenders for playing time on the line. The tallEuropean recorded just one tackle in ninegames last year, but really impressed thecoaching staff during spring workouts.Wendland is followed by Jay Coady, a back-upto Dugan at nose guard, and Tim Smith.

The Flames also bolstered the position bypicking up some players off the “free agentmarket” as Rocco likes to call it, with sometransfers. Daryl Robertson joins the Flames fromVirginia Tech, while Asa Chapman, who drewattention from ACC and BIG EAST programs,gives the Flames unheard of size at 6-5, 377pounds.

“Asa is a big, big mountain of a man whowill play nose guard,” stated Rocco. “Afterspending a year at Fork Union MilitaryAcademy, he certainly had a number of offersfrom the likes of the ACC and the BIG EASTConferences.”

Special TeamsLiberty’s special teams truly lived up to its

name last year, providing the Flames with greatfield position and numerous points on thescoreboard.

Noah Greenbaum set a new school andBig South record with 101 points scored by akicker, while ranking No. 14 in the country.Wynton Jackson thrilled fans each time hetouched the ball, ranking No. 10 nationally byaveraging 13.4 yards per punt return to goalong with two returns for a score.

As a team, Liberty ranked No. 8 in puntreturn average (14.24 yards per return), No. 10in kickoff return average (23.66 yards per return)and No. 24 in net punting (34.67 net yardsgained).

Liberty took home six Big South SpecialTeams Player of the Week honors out of 13weeks, while both Jackson and Dominic Boldenwere recognized as Big South all-conferencereturn specialists.

Finally, Zac Kolegue posted the second-highest punt average in program history at 40.9yards per punt, but since Liberty’s prolificoffense kept the punter off the field, he didn’tmeet minimum conference standards foraverage punts per game to be ranked.

Greenbaum, Kolegue and Jackson allgraduated, leaving several key positions up forcompetition entering preseason training camp.

Two solid players return to Liberty’s specialteams unit in long snapper Dan Pope andkickoff returner Dominic Bolden.

Pope, a two-year starter at long snapper,was duly honored for his snapping efforts,which aided both Greenbaum and Kolegue. Hewas named to the College Sporting NewsFabulous FCS All-America team to becomeLiberty’s first first-team All-American since JesseRiley in 2000.

Bolden ranked No. 2 nationally in averagekickoff return yards (32.0), while posting thethird-most kickoff return yards in a season (671)in program history. Bolden was named CSNNational Special Teams Player of the Weekfollowing the VMI game in which he returnedthree kickoffs for 198 total yards, including one83 yards for a touchdown.

“Our return game is an exciting part of ourgame,” stated Rocco. “Our kickoff and puntreturn has been one of the more excitingaspects of our football program in the last twoyears. Dominic Bolden is certainly a guy whoyou are going to see out there on kickoffs andpotentially on the punt return, as he has had agreat career here as a returner.”

The Flames’ kicking game is somewhat upfor grabs come August. David Drake and BenShipps competed for placekicking duties duringspring workouts, while Wes Cheek served asLiberty’s punter during the conditioningsessions.

Liberty also signed Matt Bevins to a fullscholarship, while bringing in Paul Young fromNew Mexico State as a solid transfer option.

“We went into spring ball knowing that thekicking and punting positions were of concern,”stated Rocco. “We addressed those concernsthe best that we could. We signed a fullscholarship player out of high school by thename of Matt Bevins. He is a punter and kicker,as he can do both very well. I’m looking for himto focus more on punting, especially early in theseason.”

“David Drake has been in our program fora while and will compete at the kickingposition,” continued Rocco. “Ben Shipps willcompete on extra points and field goals. Wehave a couple other incoming freshmen who weare excited about that might add some depthand competition at the position.”

ScheduleFor just the second time in the history of its

football program, Liberty will play a 12-gameschedule in 2008, with 10 of the 12 opponentsmembers of the NCAA Football ChampionshipSubdivision (FCS).

Liberty, who also played a dozen games in2003, will host seven of its 12 opponents atWilliams Stadium, a site where the Flamesposted a perfect 6-0 record in 2007, a newschool record for home victories.

Dating back to the 2006 season, Libertyhas reeled off eight-straight wins in its homefacility, which is tied for the longest currenthome winning streak among NCAA FCSprograms. The Flames share the mark withDayton.

“We are very excited about theopportunities that the 2008 schedule presentsour program,” said Rocco. “Playing a 12-gameschedule, which includes seven home contests,will be a challenge for our squad coming off lastyear’s Big South championship run.

“With the addition of Stony Brook to theleague and squaring off against non-conferenceopponents like Elon, Western Carolina,Youngstown State and Lafayette, I think the2008 schedule will prepare this year’s team aswe continue to establish a championshipprogram.”

* - Big South Conference game

Big South ConferenceThe Big South Conference returns for its

seventh year of competition and, for the firsttime since the league started to sponsor afootball championship, will field a six-teamleague.

The Big South Conference will officiallywelcome Stony Brook, a program out of StonyBrook, N.Y., as an associate member, giving theleague the NCAA minimum for postseason playconsideration. Following a two-year waitingperiod, the Big South champion will be grantedan automatic bid into the 2010 NCAA FCSPlayoffs, a goal the league has been working onsince its inception.

During the two-year period, the Flames willlook to stay atop the conference rankings. For

the second year in a row, Liberty will be thepreseason favorite to win the crown, garnering12 out of 13 first-place votes in the annual BigSouth coaches and media preseason poll.

However, despite the lofty nod by the restof the league, Rocco is convinced that this yearis going to not only be a challenge for Liberty,but also the remainder of the league with somany equal teams.

“One of the things that excites me aboutthe conference is that there is great balance inour league,” commented Rocco. “I’ve beensaying this since I came into the league and Icertainly still feel that way. With Presbyteriancoming in as a future member and beatingCoastal Carolina last year, they obviously are aprogram that is on the rise.”

“I think from top to bottom, this will be themost talented group that this league will havesince its foundation seven years ago,”continued Rocco. “I also think this will be themost competitive year with Stony Brook in themix.”

For the second-straight year, Libertydominated the preseason all-conference teamwith eight selections, the second highest figurein program history. Rashad Jennings wasnamed Preseason Big South Offensive Player ofthe Year.

“I think our conference is starting to earnrespect from other leagues from around thiscountry, as we all go out and continue to playgood football,” concluded Rocco about the BigSouth. “We all continue to go out and recruit thetype of players who go out and play at a higherlevel.

“The way that we all go out and playagainst the teams on our schedule, the FBS andFCS teams that cross over from the otherconferences, I think this is very exciting and thisyear should be the best year ever in theconference.”

2008 OUTLOOK


HEAD COACH DANNY ROCCO

In 1858, world-renowned author CharlesDickens penned the historic novel “A Tale of TwoCities.” During his first two years at Liberty,head coach Danny Rocco inked his ownlegendary story, guiding the Flames to a “Tale ofTwo Seasons,” which resulted in the program’sfirst-ever Big South championship.

During his first year, Rocco posted afive-win improvement over the previous season(1-10 in 2005 and 6-5 in 2006), earning him BigSouth Coach of the Year honors, the first inprogram history. Nationally, the turnabout tiedfor the best improvement in the country duringthe season.

Rocco brought to Liberty the 3-4 defensehe successful ran at both Virginia and with theNew York Jets, and the new scheme paidimmediate dividends. Liberty held opponents to1,433 total rushing yards and 306.6 averageyards of offense per game, setting another pairof school and conference bests.

Liberty posted three shutouts in 2006, toset a new school and Big South record. TheFlames allowed just 172 total points to claim anew school mark and ranked No. 12 nationallyin scoring defense (15.64 points per game).

On the gridiron, Rocco’s rejuvenatedsquad set 12 different team records, includingeight defensive marks, which certainly broughta smile to the face of the 20-plus-year, veterandefensive coach.

The revitalization of the program sparked arenewed interest in Flames football, as a ticketto a Rocco-coached football game became ahot item around Liberty Mountain. The Flamesset single-game and single-season attendancerecords, and finished the year ranked 13thnationally in home attendance.

The attention to Rocco’s first-yearaccomplishments wasn’t just limited to thegreater Lynchburg area. During the 2006campaign, Liberty garnered votes for Top 25consideration more than once and the Flamesposted their first victory over a nationally-rankedopponent since 1997.

In sharp contrast, the 2007 season broughtabout an onslaught on Liberty’s offensive recordbook. During the course of the season, theFlames set new program and Big Southbenchmarks for points scored (469), points pergame (42.6), average yards per play (6.8) andtotal touchdowns (61).

Liberty finished the year ranked No. 3nationally in scoring offense, No. 8 in passingefficiency (158.12), No. 14 in total offense andNo. 16 in rushing offense (215.91).

The lofty figures continued to propel theFlames to new levels, helping Liberty surpassthe 40-point mark in five out of 11 total games.

The high-octane offense continued to packout Liberty’s Williams Stadium. The Flamesfinished the 2007 season with a program-bestand perfect 6-0 home record under Rocco,while averaging 14,190 fans per game in avenue which seats 12,000.

However, the pinnacle of the season camein a fashion only fitting for its author. Rocco’sseasoned-veteran squad capped off one of themost memorable years in program history byposting a 31-0 shutout over Gardner-Webb onNov. 17, 2007. The victory gave Liberty its first-ever Big South title in football – dotting the finalpage of the two-year tale in a mannerappropriate for a defensively minded coach.

Over the two-year span, Rocco hascoached 36 all-conference players. He set athen program high during his first year with 14honorees, while bettering the mark by capturinga Big South record 22 all-league performers in2007.

Rocco’s athletes have also drawn regionaland national attention. Under the skipper,

Liberty has placed 13 players on the VaSID all-state squads, recognizing the top Division Ifootball players in the Commonwealth ofVirginia.

Last year, seven players receivedhonorable-mention All-America honors on theSports Network All-America team, while longsnapper Dan Pope became Liberty’s first All-American since 2000, when the junior wasnamed to the College Sporting News FabulousFCS All-America Team.

Rocco’s coaching efforts continued to playdividends for his players long after the seasonwas finished. In late April, Vince Redd (NewEngland Patriots) and Stephen Sene (St. LouisRams) both signed NFL free agent contracts togive Liberty players at the sports highest level ofcompetition.

Upon the completion of the 2006 season,Rocco dubbed the year a “Season toRemember,” while the 2007 campaign was ayear where the program moved from“Good2Great.”

With the 2008 season quickly approaching,the three-year head coach wants to make surethat his squad, which includes 38 letterwinnersand 12 returning starters, doesn’t rest on thelaurels. Rocco has named the upcomingcampaign a year of “Unfinished Business”making sure the Flames continue to complete

the vision of founder and former chancellor, Dr.Jerry Falwell.

The Rocco era of Liberty football beganover two years ago on December 2, 2005, whena blissful Dr. Falwell addressed an assembledgroup of media and boosters gathered in theGrand Lobby of the Arthur S. DeMoss LearningCenter on the early winter day.

The announcement brought excitementback to a once strong athletic program, as Dr.Falwell publicly named former Virginia associatehead coach Danny Rocco as Liberty’s new headfootball coach.

“Danny Rocco is a perfect fit for LibertyUniversity in every way. Liberty is fortunate tohave him,” stated Dr. Falwell on that cold wintryday, who personally witnessed the beginning ofthe program’s resurgence. “I firmly believeDanny Rocco can lead Liberty in reaching itsgoal of becoming a dominant Division I-AAprogram within the near future.”

Unfortunately, the world-renownedevangelist and duly honored No. 1 fan of Libertyathletics didn’t live to see the next step in hisbeloved football program’s turnabout, as hepassed away on May 15, 2007.

But Rocco made it the program’s purposeto carry out the vision of the leader, cherishinghis legacy by truly being a “Champion forChrist” by guiding the squad to its first-ever BigSouth title.

Now the skipper hopes his squad takescare of some “Unfinished Business” in 2008 byaspiring to win back-to-back titles, and takingthat next step in completing Dr. Falwell’s wishesof Liberty becoming a dominant and consistentplayer in the upper echelon of NCAA Division IFootball Championship Subdivision football(formerly Division I-AA).

Rocco brought over 22 years of footballcoaching experience to a program he was quitefamiliar with, as he had been an outsideobserver with a vested interest for years. Roccohad family ties to both Liberty University and thegreater Lynchburg area, enabling him to watchLiberty from a distance.

Rocco’s father and brother both served on

the staff at Liberty during a six-year span asFrank Rocco, Sr., was the program’s Director ofFootball Operations during the 2000 and 2001seasons. Frank Rocco, Jr., also joined the staffin 2000 as a wide receivers/quarterbacks coachand was promoted to offensive coordinatorbefore leaving in 2003.

All three of the Rocco brothers have beenreunited of sorts as Frank, Jr., now serves ashead football coach and athletic director acrossthe Liberty campus at Liberty ChristianAcademy, the K-12 school associated withThomas Road Baptist Church.

Completing the family circle, the finalRocco brother, Dave, is now a defensivecoordinator at Jefferson Forest High School inForest, Va.

So, to say that Rocco has had a vestedinterest in Liberty and the greater Lynchburgarea over the last several years might be anunderstatement.

“I’d followed the program for many years,and I’d waited for Liberty to have abreakthrough year,” commented Rocco after hisintroductory press conference. “For whateverreason, that hadn’t happened yet, but I knewthe potential and the talent was here for it tohappen.”

“I took this job knowing the program wascoming off a disappointing 1-10 season,”continued the now-prophetic Rocco. “However,I never looked at it as a 1-10 program. That inand of itself allowed me to come in with a morepositive approach as began to turn this thingaround.”

Rocco now enters the third year of his firsthead coaching position thrilled to bring 24 yearsof coaching career to Liberty with a resumewhich includes stops at several of the topDivision I-A programs in the country.

In addition to his experience at the Division1-A level, he spent the 2000 season on AlGroh’s staff as an assistant coach with the NewYork Jets of the National Football League.

Rocco has either coached or played in atotal of 13 bowl games and has earned the titleof conference champion on four separate

occasions – three with Texas and once with theFlames.

Prior to coming to Liberty, Rocco spent theprevious five seasons at Virginia, helping theCavaliers to four-consecutive bowl appearancesand 37 victories alongside Groh as an assistanthead coach/linebacker coach, starting in 2001.

Virginia posted back-to-back ContinentalTire Bowl victories in 2002 and 2003 with winsover 15th-ranked West Virginia and Pittsburgh,and a heartbreaking overtime loss to FresnoState in the 2004 MPC Computers Bowl.

Rocco returned to Virginia prior to the 2005Music City Bowl to help Groh lead the Cavaliersto a victory over Minnesota.

The Cavaliers’ 2002 recruiting class wasranked in the Top 10 nationally by many of themajor recruiting services, including a fifth-placeranking by ESPN. Rocco relinquished hisrecruiting duties in 2002 and was promoted tothe position of associate head coach, whilecontinuing his responsibility as linebackerscoach.

In 2004, three Cavaliers’ linebackerssigned NFL contracts. Darryl Blackstock wasselected in the third round of the NFL draft bythe Arizona Cardinals, and Dennis Haley (Jets)and Isaiah Ekejiuba (Arizona) signed as freeagents.

Rocco began his coaching career as agraduate assistant coach at his alma mater,Wake Forest. He spent the 1984 and 1985seasons as a graduate assistant, before beinghired as the defensive line coach prior to the1986 season.

Rocco was then hired by Bill McCartney atColorado as an assistant linebackers coach forthe 1987 season. He spent the next threeseasons at Tulsa, where the Golden Hurricanecompeted in the 1989 Independence Bowl.

Rocco spent the 1991-93 seasons workingfor Tom Coughlin as his defensive line coach atBoston College, helping Coughlin bring BostonCollege’s program back to national prominence.

In 1992, Boston College played in the Hallof Fame Bowl, before making a trip to theCarquest Bowl in 1993. Rocco then left Boston

1984-2008




College to join John Mackovic’s staff at theUniversity of Texas at Austin.

While at Texas, the Longhorns put togetherthree-consecutive conference championships,including an inaugural Big 12 title in 1996. Texasalso competed in three-straight bowl games(Sun Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Fiesta Bowl).

Rocco went from Texas to Maryland wherehe served as linebackers coach for the 1998and 1999 seasons. After the 1999 season,Rocco rejoined his mentor, Groh, with the NewYork Jets.

Rocco spent the 2000 season in New Yorkas an assistant linebacker/special teams coach,before following Groh to Virginia for the 2001-05seasons.

Rocco began his college playing career asa scholarship athlete at Penn State. Roccoearned two varsity letters at Penn State, andparticipated in the 1979 Liberty Bowl and the1980 Fiesta Bowl. He then transferred to WakeForest where he was a two-year starter andsenior captain for Al Groh.

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE

The Big South Conference is celebrating its25th Anniversary in 2008-09, a milestonecoming on the heels of unprecedentedachievements and unparalleled success inLeague history over the past few years.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big SouthConference has matured into a competitiveleader in college athletics, actively pursuingexcellence on the field of play and in theclassroom. The league’s growing presence asan NCAA Division I athletic conference isevident by athletic accomplishments on thenational stage, innovative marketing and mediapartnerships, increased television packages,and quality athletic competition whileintentionally fostering the academic, personal,social, athletic and leadership development ofeach student-athlete.

The Big South Conference was formed onAug. 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (thenBaptist College) Athletic Director HowardBagwell and Augusta President GeorgeChristenberry began recruiting members intothe Big South, receiving initial commitmentsfrom Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell,Coastal Carolina and Winthrop.

One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singletonwas selected as the league’s first commissionerand continued to solicit new members. Hisefforts led to the additions of Armstrong State,Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the BigSouth more than the required six members toconstitute an official conference. The BigSouth’s first year of competition was in the Fallof 1984, and in September 1986, the Big SouthConference was granted full-fledged NCAADivision I status.

During its infancy and prior to securingautomatic bids to NCAA Championships, theBig South made early strides in earning at-largeberths in several national postseason events,including volleyball, women’s basketball andwomen’s golf. The league received its firstautomatic bid in 1990 to the NCAA BaseballChampionship.

In 1989, George F. "Buddy" Sasserreplaced the retiring Dr. Singleton ascommissioner. Under Sasser’s leadership, the

conference implemented its public relations andcompliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package,featuring the Big South competing among someof the finest teams in the nation.

In the last 15 years alone, the Big SouthConference has experienced monumentalgrowth and success in nearly every sport.During this time, the conference has had twoindividual NCAA national champions, close to200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16”in men’s soccer, women’s basketball andbaseball, has received national Top 25 rankingsin men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’sbasketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track &field, and men’s golf, had an individual selectedto play in the NCAA Tennis SinglesChampionship three times, had the No. 1ranked men’s golfer in the country, had thenational team and individual scoring leader inmen’s basketball twice, received an at-largeplayoff berth in the NCAA FootballChampionship Subdivision in 2006, and had aninstitution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s GolfChampionships – the conference’s highest-everteam finish in an NCAA event.

In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was theonly conference nationwide to have an at-largeparticipant in the football playoffs (CoastalCarolina), a team in the second round of theNCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop)and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA BaseballRegionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, CoastalCarolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1seed three out of the last four years, while itsplayoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-yearof the Big South’s football existence.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replacedSasser as the league’s third Commissioner, andin his 12 years at the helm of the Big South,Kallander has been instrumental in aggressivelypromoting the conference to new levels.

The conference has enjoyed record levelsin marketing revenue during the past severalyears, he has brought television coverage to BigSouth women’s basketball, baseball and softballfor the first time in conference history, as well asincreased national television exposure to the

League as a whole through aggressive andunique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the BigSouth developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the league’svision as a distinctive athletic conferencecommitted to the quality of institutional lifethrough athletic competition. He alsospearheaded the efforts to add football as achampionship sport, which came to fruition in2002.

Touchdowns off a punt returnand an interception helped Libertyovercome a sluggish first quarter enroute to a 38-14 season-openingvictory over Tusculum.

Prior to the start of the contest,Liberty ceremonially honoredfounder Dr. Jerry Falwell, whopassed away on May15, 2007, bystarting a new game day tradition.Members of the University Policeforce raised a No. 71 flagunderneath the Liberty Flames flagabove the south end zone, just priorto the team taking the field, bringingthe 14,925 fans in attendance totheir feet.

The Flames wasted little timegetting on the scoreboard, asLiberty capped off a seven-play, 48-yard drive with a 37-yard field goalby Noah Greenbaum, stakingLiberty to a 3-0 lead, with 12:11 leftin the first.

Of the seven plays, Zach Terrellwas handed the ball four times for 14yards, but the drive was highlighted by a 29-yard, out-of-bounds pass play from Brock Smithto Brandon Turner.

Liberty had a chance to push its margin tosix points on the second-to-last play of the firstquarter, but Greenbaum’s 29-yard field goal wasblocked by Adrian Samples, leaving Liberty’slead at three points to close out the quarter.

The Flames stopped Tusculum on theensuing kickoff with a three-and-out series, butWynton Jackson was hit by Chris Young, forcingthe return specialist to cough up the ball on theresulting punt. Young was quick enough togather himself and collect the football, givingthe Pioneers a new set of downs at Liberty’s 32-yard line.

And the Pioneers made the most of thesecond chance, as seven plays later CoreyRussell rushed up the middle for a touchdownwith 10:42 left to play before halftime.

Liberty quickly regained the momentum, asSmith drove the Flames down field on the nextdrive. The quarterback completed 3-of-5passes, including a 50-yarder to DominicBolden, who was pushed out of bounds just shyof the goal line. The strike set up a Terrell run upthe middle, allowing the Flames to regain thelead, 10-7, at the 9:34.

After another three-and-out series, thePioneers were again forced to punt. JohnGregory booted the ball to the Liberty 35-yardline, where it was fielded by Jackson. This time,the senior cleanly fielded the ball, and after

several key blocks down field,Jackson found the end zone for thescore, pushing Liberty’s lead to 17-7.

The Flames quickly added to itslead on the third play of Tusculum’snext drive. Ryan Best picked offRussell’s pass over the middle, andreturned it 17 yards for a touchdownat 7:16, giving the Flames a 24-7halftime advantage.

The score remained the sameuntil Liberty’s final drive of the thirdquarter. Six-straight rushing plays ledto the Flames’ fourth touchdown of theevening. Wes Cheek cut left for a 10-yard touchdown bolt to push Liberty’slead to 31-7 with 73 seconds left in theperiod.Both teams tacked on additionaltouchdowns in the fourth quarter withmost of their back-ups on the field.

Tusculum capped of its longestdrive of the evening, when Russellfound Ryan Tallent open on a 10-yardsideline pass for a touchdown tocomplete a 13-play, 65-yard drive with

10:29 left in the contest.The Pioneers forced the Flames to punt on

the ensuing drive, but Ian Childress interceptedRussell for the fourth time on the evening. Thelinebacker picked off the pass at the Tusculum18-yard line and returned it to the two.

Three plays later, Cheek bowled throughthe middle on a one-yard score with 6:16remaining, providing Liberty with its finalmargin.

Turnovers proved costly for the Pioneers,as Tusculum committed five giveaways, leadingto 14 of Liberty’s 38 points. The turnovers totalmarked the most Liberty had caused sinceforcing six to close out the 2005 campaign atNorfolk State.

The Liberty vs. William & Marycontest certainly lived up to the age-old adage that football is a game ofinches, as just a few proved to bethe difference in the Flames’ 48-41double overtime loss to the Tribe atZable Stadium.

During the first overtime period,the homestanding Tribe managed toeke out just enough distance on afourth-and-one play, giving them anew set of downs, which allowedthem to force the final extra period.

However, Liberty wasn’t solucky in the second overtime, as theFlames were held for no gain in thesame situation, with the spot of theball being just a few chain linksaway from a first down when thegame ended.

During the first half of thecontest, the game remained closewith William & Mary holding a one-point lead going into the waningseconds of the half. Liberty was ableto pull within one point, 14-13,following a 31-yard field goal by NoahGreenbaum with 39 seconds left beforehalftime.

However, the homestanding Tribe quicklymoved 41 yards down field in four plays,allowing Brian Pate to send a 43-yard field goalthrough the uprights as time expired beforeintermission to give William & Mary a four-pointlead, 17-13.

The two teams traded touchdowns in thethird, while a seven-yard touchdown pass fromJake Phillips to Elliott Mack with 13:28 left toplay in the game seemed to put William & Maryin control of the contest, 31-19.

Despite staring with a 12-point deficit onthe scoreboard in the fourth, the Flames

continued to keep the ball on the ground,scoring two rushing touchdowns to knot thecontest at 34-34 with 19 seconds left inregulation.

On Liberty’s final scoring drive inregulation, Brock Smith quickly led the Flamesdownfield, completing 6-of-8 pass attempts for50 yards, setting up Zach Terrell’s three-yardrun, which pulled the Flames within two.

And this time, Liberty was able to converton the two-point attempt as Smith foundJennings wide open in the near side of the endzone, knotting the game at 34-34 with 16seconds remaining.

Liberty, playing in its first overtime gamesince falling to No. 14 Coastal Carolina atWilliams Stadium on Oct. 22, 2005, quickly got

on the scoreboard. Jennings burstthrough the line of scrimmage on thesecond play, rushing 25 yards for thescore.

And the Flames nearly ended thegame on William & Mary’s very firstplay of overtime. Pat Dickersonstepped in front of Phillips’ pass toRob Varno, but the defensive backwas unable to hang on to the hot shot.

Three plays later, on a fourth-and-one, Tony Viola was able to just getthe ball past the 15-yard line, givingWilliam & Mary a fresh set of downs.On the very next play, Phillipsthreaded the needle and found DrewAtchinson for a 15-yard strike, justinside the pylon, tying the game at 41-all after the first free period.

With alternating possessions inovertime the Tribe got the ball next,and William & Mary rushed six-straight times to score again. Violatook the first five attempts,accumulating 24 yards to set up adiving, one-yard play by Phillips over

the pile for the go-ahead score. Liberty managed to move the ball nine

yards on its next three plays, before callingupon Jennings one more time. However, thejunior, who rushed for 114 yards on his first 27carries wasn’t able to muster one more on his28th, as William & Mary stopped the runningback just inches shy of the first-down marker.

Jennings, playing in his first game of theyear after sitting out the previous two due to arule violation, posted his sixth career 100-yardgame with three total touchdowns. Terrellfollowed with seven carries for 58 yards and ascore. Smith completed a career-best 25 passes(25-for-37), throwing for 203 yards and twoscores.

The Flames came within minutesof recording the program’s secondvictory over a FBS school. Liberty’slone win over a FBS program came in1989 when the Flames upset EasternMichigan, 25-24, in Ypsilanti, Mich. onOct. 14.

Liberty made the first dent on thescoreboard in the first, before Toledoresponded with a touchdown and afield of its own to hold a 10-7 leadmidway through the second quarter.

Following the Rockets firsttouchdown of the game, Libertyanswered right back on the first playof the ensuing drive to take a 13-10lead. Rashad Jennings broke throughthe line of scrimmage and found anopening that led to a 63-yardtouchdown run with 9:30 left to play in the first half.

The ground game helped the Rockets regainthe lead when Parmele was called on for a one-yard run at the 6:09 mark, finishing off aneight-play, 73-yard drive. On the ensuing extrapoint attempt, Liberty’s Soeren Wendland was ableto meander his way through the line to block thekick, leaving the score at 16-14 in favor of thehome team.

And the missed extra point allowed Liberty totake the lead heading into the break at halftime asNoah Greenbaum hit a 21-yard field goal as timeexpired at the end of the first, giving Liberty a 17-16 lead.

Toledo’s quarterback D.J. Lenehancompleted 11-of-11 passes for 151 yards in the

first half. And the true freshman completed his firstpass of the second half. However, it was to aplayer in a Liberty jersey as Patrick Calvary pickedoff his team-leading third pass of the year, givingLiberty the ball at its own 47-yard line.

And eight plays later, Brock Smith foundWynton Jackson open for a 19-yard scoring play,extending Liberty’s lead to 24-16 with 11:39 left toplay in the third.

The Rockets answered back when Lenehamcompleted a 28-yard pass play to Parmele for atouchdown with 6:13 left to play in the thirdquarter, pulling the Rockets to within two points,24-22.

Toledo elected to go for the two-pointconversion where Brandon Duke tried to tackleLeneham, but the freshman rolled away from the

takedown and scampered to the endzone. However, after the play wasreviewed in the booth, it was determinedthat the quarterback was tackled,leaving the game score at 24-22.

Bolden returned the ensuing kickoff72 yards, giving Liberty the ball atToledo’s 18-yard line. Four plays later,Liberty pushed its lead to five pointswhen Greenbaum knocked down a 27-yard field goal, staking the Flames to a27-22 lead with 4:31 left to play in thethird.

Liberty added to its lead when RyanGreiser picked off a Leneham pass andreturned it 35 yards for a touchdown,pushing the Flames margin to 34-22 atthe 3:10 mark.

The Rockets responded whenParmele bounced to the outside for afour-yard rushing touchdown on the firstplay of the fourth quarter, followed byGreiser picking off an attempted two-point conversion to leave the score at34-28 in Liberty’s favor with 14:53 left inthe contest.

Following a three-and-out series by Liberty,the Rockets continued to keep the ball on theground, rushing 11 times out of 14 plays on theensuing drive. The 11th time was a hand off toParmele who found the end zone on a five-yardrun, allowing Toledo to regain the lead, 35-34, with3:47 remaining.

With Liberty attempting to march down field,a deep pass down field on second-and-12 toDominic Bolden slipped through the receivers’fingers and two players later, Jackson was unableto catch a sideline pass, ending Liberty’s finalhopes for victory.

Charleston Southern and Libertytraded points early on, but theFlames scored 40-consecutive pointsen route to a convincing 50-10 BigSouth opening victory overCharleston Southern at CSUStadium.

Charleston Southern wastedlittle time getting on the scoreboard,opening a 7-0 edge in the openingminutes of the contest, when back-to-back short yardage passes gave theBuccaneers the game’s first score.The second pass over the middlefrom quarterback Eli Byrd was caughtby Dee Brown, who avoided severalwould-be tacklers for a 62-yardtouchdown reception just 69 secondsinto the game.

The Flames cut into theBuccaneers’ lead on their firstpossession of the game. Libertymanaged to advance the ball downinside Charleston Southern’s red zone.

16-yard scoring scamper to give Liberty a 10-7advantage with 4:18 left in the opening quarter.The run gave Terrell his 12-consecutive gamewith a rushing touchdown.

The early scoring spree continued when theBuccaneer’s Nick Ellis knocked down a 37-yardfield on the first play of the second quarter tocomplete a nine-play, 59-yard drive, knotting thescore at 10 apiece.

However, the field goal would prove to bethe end of the see-saw scoring battle between thetwo programs, as Liberty reeled off the next 40points scored to take the Big South opener inconvincing fashion.

Over the final 41 minutes of the game, theFlames managed to rush for four additionaltouchdowns, while Chris Luck caught a 19-yard

Following a three-and-outseries, Liberty took over possession at midfield.And the Flames added to their lead on the firstplay, as Smith found Jennings open on a screenplay.
