The Liberty Flames went to Terre Haute, Indiana and spun their tires in the home of the world famous Action Track, falling to the Indiana State Sycamores for the second time, 38-19
Josh Woodrum finished with 308 yards through the air, his third straight game with 300+yards, although most of it came with the outcome of the game largely decided. He also threw two very costly interceptions, part of a 4 turnover day for the offense.
The other unfortunate outcome of the game was a rash of injuries, as backup running back Todd Macon, linebackers Jimmy O'Grady and Nick Sigmon, and third string running back Joshua Smith all are out this week, with Smith out for the remainder of the season.
Inside the numbers
Here are some interesting numbers from last week's matchup:
6- Despite the loss, Josh Woodrum finished with his third straight 300 yard passing game, and his 6th of his career, passing Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Mike Brown and former Flame Biff Parson. With his next game, the Cave Spring product will tie Phil Basso for second all time in 300 yard passing games, 4 behind all time leader (and 2013 Liberty Hall of Fame inductee) Robby Justino, who finished with 11 career 300 yard games.
11- With an 8 yard connection in the 4th quarter, Josh Woodrum and Darrin Peterson connected for the 11th time as a QB/WR connection. Hopefully in a future post I will be able to go over the all-time list for touchdown connections between
2- With a 300 yard performance against Richmond, Woodrum will become only the second player ever to pass for 300 yards or more in 4 consecutive games, joining Justino, but would be the first to do it in a single season
With two touchdown passes, Woodrum would also tie former Flames signal caller Antwan Chiles for 5th on the all-time career list for touchdown passes
Will have a preview of the Richmond game up tomorrow night and Friday I hope to have my interview with college sports writer John O'Connor from the Richmond Times-Dispatch
