LU scored 21 of the first 28 points and cruised to a 52-14 win over Savannah State University Saturday night in from of a record crowd of 19,314 during the grand re-opening of Williams Stadium. The fourth quarter featured fireworks both on the field as well as off when the display that was intended to take place after the game took place.
Mike Brown had another efficient night, finishing 14-19 for 231 yards and three TDs all of them to his favorite target, Chris Summers who finished with 132 yards for his fourth 100 yard game of his career (three of them this season according to LibertyFlames.com). Liberty has scored 50 or more points in 4 straight games at Williams Stadium and 5 straight home games overall (including the opener at Lynchburg City Stadium). LU has outscored their opponents 104-21 at home.
