Stephon Masha, LU

On This Date - November 29This will mark the first time Liberty has ever played a football game later than Nov. 23 in the calendar year.

Milestone Watch1 - Jacob Hagen needs one interception to set the

Big South single-season record with nine picks. That would be the most interceptions in a single season by a Flame since 1979.

1 - Josh Woodrum needs one TD pass to become the third QB in program history and the fifth in Big South annals with 50 career TD passes.

8.5 - Defensive linemen Chima Uzowihe (8.0 sacks) and Toby Onyechi (7.5 sacks) are both bearing down on the Big South single-season record of 8.5 sacks, set by Gardner-Webb’s Shaquille Riddick in 2013.

6/175 - Darrin Peterson needs six receptions to break the Liberty single-season record of 81 catches, established by Pat Nelson in 1991. Pe-terson would need a huge day (175 yards) to break the Big South single-season receiving re-cord of 1,388 yards, set by Stony Brook’s Kevin Norrell in 2012.

20/139 - With 20 rushing yards, D.J. Abnar would pass Marshall Clark (1982; 1,185 yards) for fifth place on the Flames’ all-time single-season list. A 139-yard day would allow Abnar to climb all the way up to third place on the list.

A Liberty Win Would ...

• Mark the Flames’ first NCAA FCS playoff victory.• Be the Flames’ third triumph over a nationally

ranked FCS opponent this season. Liberty has never defeated three FCS Top 25 foes in the same year.

• Mark the Flames’ fourth consecutive road victory and give Liberty its most road wins in a season (5) since the 1997 Flames went 6-0.

• Improve the Flames’ November record under Turner Gill to 11-1.

• Give the Flames their fourth season with nine or more wins all-time and first since the 2008 Flames went 10-2.

• Snap James Madison’s streak of six straight victo-ries over the Flames and mark Liberty’s first win over JMU since Nov. 7, 1992.

• Halt Liberty’s 11-game losing streak against CAA foes and mark its first win over a conference team since Nov. 22, 2003 against Hofstra.

• Be the Flames’ first-ever road victory versus a CAA opponent.

• Stop James Madison’s current seven-game win-ning streak.

• Move the Flames on to face Villanova on Dec. 6.

Quick Hitters• At 4-1, Liberty won its third straight Big South

Conference title and seventh conference cham-pionship overall.

• The Flames’ 15-14 victory at No. 2/1 Coastal Car-olina on Nov. 22 marked Liberty’s first victory over a No. 1 team at the Division I level in any team sport.

• Liberty’s No. 20 national ranking (Sports Net-work) is the Flames’ highest ranking since they were listed No. 16 in both polls on Nov. 14, 2011.

• Chima Uzowihe’s blocked field goal which pre-served Liberty’s 15-14 win at Coastal Carolina was the latest in a series of dramatic late-game plays by the Flames in 2014.

• John Lunsford forced OT against Richmond on Oct. 4 with a 60-yard field goal as time elapsed.

• Jacob Hagen sealed an OT win at Appalachian State on Oct. 11 with an interception in the end zone.

• The Appalachian State victory, Liberty’s third all-time win over an FBS foe, started the Flames’ 5-1 stretch to end the regular season.

• Nov. 22 has been a good day for the Flames, who are now 4-0 all-time on the date after the 15-14 victory over No. 2/1 Coastal Carolina.

• Those Nov. 22 victories include three wins over nationally ranked opponents (No. 15 Appala-chian State, No. 14/12 Elon and No. 2/1 Coastal Carolina) and the Flames’ most recent win over a CAA opponent (Hofstra).
