Liberty will be going into next season with a new head coach. Danny Rocco to Richmond.

Congrats on a terrific season. I'm looking forward to next year as it will be a true fight for the league championship. I'm glad the schedule swings back in LU's favor with you having to play @Coastal and @Liberty. Should be the first time since 2006 that someone will come into Lynchburg from the Big South and likely be favored to win the game. I’m interested to find out what week the game is, as we know it’s not the final week of the season because we play @VMI the final week.

I don't disagree that they're good. You have to be to go 11-0. Yes they beat New Mexico in OT. New Mexico is 1-10. Yes they have a better league, but not that much better. You guys can beat them.

To be honest I think SHSU is overrated. They haven't really beaten anyone.

Congrats on your program's and the Big South's first ever conference win. Now go down to Texas and bring back another W!

As much "pain" as we are feeling right now, we can't take anything away from you guys. You played well and didn't make the costly mistakes we did, thus you won. Congrats. You guys have a good team, and if it wasn't us in the playoffs I'm glad it's you. Our two teams have the ability to make some noise in the postseason. I hope you do and prove there are good teams in the Big South.

I agree with your post ry1nik. If Liberty was at home, I would feel very confident. Being on the road makes it much more of a toss-up in my mind. And like you said I do believe Liberty is the better team on paper. What does that mean for Saturday? Nothing. It should be a great game.

I don't have a problem with people rushing the field in meaningful games. This certainly is a meaningful game. There's no problem with whoever wins and their fans rushing the field.

Yes I was at the game in 09. It was a very evenly contested ball game. Exciting except for the outcome. I was not being sarcastic. SBU fans rushed the field at the end. That's fine. That was your first win over a ranked opponent.

They had "hundreds" rush the field in 2009 when they beat us.

Our All-American Kicker has been hurt off and on since the JMU game. Since then we've used our backup kicker for all kickoffs. He doesn't have nearly the leg of Matt Bevins. He generally gets the ball to the 10-15 and to be honest our kickoff coverage has been suspect all year. I really hope we gameplan well for this facet of the game as it could be huge.

Also, our kick returner, Kevin Fogg, leads the country with 3 kickoff returns for touchdowns. Both teams are top 5 in the country in kickoff returns and may be #1 and #2.

Liberty's OOC schedule next year will be very difficult:
@ Wake Forest
vs Lehigh (Patriot League champ 2 years running)
vs Norfolk St (MEAC champ)
another game which hasn't been confirmed yet against an FCS power

If we come through all of that plus conference play with only 2 losses I'll be doing cartwheels.

By my count, Liberty returns 14 starters and 30 from the 2 deep.

Our expectations will stay high. We fully expect to compete for and win another conference championship next year. Yes we lose alot at our skill positions - QB, 3 of our top 4 WRs, TE, but we also return most everything else. All of our RBs will be back. 4 of 5 starting OLine, 9 of our 11 starters on Defense. Our understudy at QB is a RJR and has had a lot of snaps over his career. He's been Mike Brown's backup for 3 years now. We also have 2 QBs redshirting this year. One is "the next Mike Brown" and the other is a tall, big white kid who turned down a scholly offer to Wake and other BCS programs. It will be an interesting battle to see who wins the full time job next year and moving forward.

Our conference schedule next year:
SBU - home
GW - home
CSU - home
As you all know we haven't lost at home in conference since 2006. We don't plan on starting anytime soon. I don't see either GW or CSU coming in and beating us. You guys will be a challenge, but with us at home I like our chances. Just look at the results from your previous 2 trips to Lynchburg.

CCU - away
VMI - away
PC - away
CCU will always be tough down on the beach. I'm not worried about VMI. And PC will be solid, but we will still be favored and should win.

Hard to say we won't expect to win another conference championship even if we are in a reloading type of year. A lot of people said 2009 would be the year to knock us off.

Anyways, there's plenty of time to talk about next year during the offseason. Huge game for both teams and the conference coming up on Saturday. I've heard it referred to as the biggest game in conference history.

Liberty has been ranked just about every week from the past 4 seasons. What has that gotten us? Nothing. We would gladly trade in all of our rankings, including our current one, for a win Saturday. At this level, rankings mean very, very little.
