Some UNC Perspective on the game

We are just under 31 hours away from the season opener down in Chapel Hill, and the excitement is palpable in both Tar Heel Nation and Flames Nation. I had a change to chat with Andrew Carter from the Raleigh News and Observer, a beat writer for UNC. I asked him a few questions about this game, but I opened by asking him about his thoughts on the expectations in THN heading into this season after winning 6 of 7 including a sound beating of Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl, and he said:

    People around here are approaching the season with cautious optimism. UNC is young – there's only one senior starter on offense, and there only six seniors on the two-deep depth chart – but the talent level is as high as it has been in a while, especially at the skill positions on offense. The Tar Heels haven't won more than eight games since 1997 (UNC finished 11-1 that year), but there's a belief that UNC can finally break through this season. It helps, too, that the ACC's Coastal Division is wide open (UNC was picked to finish 4th in the preseason poll).

The biggest question heading into the game tomorrow is obviously the QB position (where Marquise Williams and Mitch Trubisky have been battling hammer and tongs since the start of spring ball, with no clear cut winner between the two), the next biggest question mark actually is where this game is most definitely won or lost, and that is in the trenches:

     UNC lost two starters on both lines, and both position groups are without their best players from last season. Offensively, the Tar Heels are starting three first-time starters on the line, including left tackle John Ferranto. Defensively, UNC doesn't have a proven pass rusher outside of Norkeithus Otis, who plays the bandit position – a hybrid defensive end/linebacker. How the Tar Heels come together up front on both sides will determine their success.

I mentioned the battle between Williams and Trubisky, so I asked Andrew about wheether or not there is a disadvantage to having both QBs available this weekend. While the adage is sometimes true that says "if you have two QBs, its like having no QBs", Andrew doesn't really think that the Heels have a problem here:

    I'm not sure there's a disadvantage there but the advantage is that UNC has two quarterbacks it feels strongly about. Williams is a fourth-year junior who started five games last season, and probably exceeded expectations. Trubisky is a redshirt freshman who arrived as a heralded recruit. They competed throughout the spring and the preseason for the starting job, but I'd be stunned if Williams didn't start Saturday. That said, the quarterback competition could continue into the season.

Obviously the Tar Heels are the favorite in this matchup, with the most recent line that I have seen sitting at -30.5 (according to 5Dimes.eu), but Liberty has shown a natural ability the last 8 seasons to stay very competitive in their FBS games (losing by 7 to Kent State by 7 last year, beating Ball State in Muncie in 2010, losing to UNC's fellow ACC compatriot Wake Forest by 3 in 2011 and losing 43-21 to NC State in 2012, although they were only down 9 late in the 4th quarter), so I asked him what the key would be for UNC to avoid becoming the 4th ranked 1-A/FBS school to lose to an FCS school:

   The key for the Tar Heels will be to get off to a strong start, take Liberty out of the game early and then don't make mistakes that allow the Flames to hang around. It always comes back to the cliché things. Don't turn the ball over. Don't allow big plays. If UNC succeeds in those two areas on Saturday, it probably shouldn't have too much trouble.

 

I think that the first two possessions for each side are going to say a lot about which side will come out on top. The Tar Heels take their first trip out west when they face off with the Aztecs of San Diego State next Saturday night. Often times, when a team has a big game after a less than competitive game on the schedule, you will see them kind of "sleepwalk" through the first game, which can lead to either a lackluster victory, or sometimes, a loss. I asked Andrew how the team is preparing for this week and hoping to avoid that sort of malaise: 

 

   UNC hasn't had any problems with overlooking FCS opponents during Fedora's tenure (defeating Elon 62-0 in his debut and routing Old Dominion 80-20 last November). The Tar Heels have completely dominated this kind of competition in recent years, and that's a testament to how well Fedora has prepared his players for these types of games. It's difficult to explain exactly why, but the Tar Heels just haven't had any trouble against lower-division opponents. This is also the first game of the season. Guys have been looking forward to it, regardless of the opponent, for a long time.

 Finally, this post was delayed because Andrew was dealing with a late breaking story this week centering around an alleged hazing incident, that I believe was later termed a "prank gone wrong" or something. This incident led to the suspension of 4 players, all defensive backs including two players slated to start this weekend. I asked how this affected the team mindset headed into the weekend:

It's difficult to know exactly how investigation into an off-the-field altercation is affecting the team. As you mention, four players defensive backs (sic) are suspended for this game, including the two starting cornerbacks. The whole thing is another controversy, on top of many, for the athletic department, and it certainly takes some of the luster off the start of the season. How will it affect the team, though? Difficult to say. Saturday should provide some answers.

Fan the Flames Football Forecast: North Carolina

Welcome to the first week of football for the 2014 season Flames Fans! If you want some excellent in depth coverage of the Flames from training camp, check out Jon Manson and Duke Cuneo over at Liberty Flames Nation.

Now for the season opener:

Liberty (0-0, 0-0)

vs.

#23/#23 North Carolina (0-0, 0-0)

Liberty opens with an FBS opponent for the third straight season and 4th time in the last 5 seasons (the only exception being the 2010 season opener against St Francis (PA) at Lynchburg City Stadium). This is the third time in four years that the Flames face a foe from the Atlantic Coast Conference (2011- NC State, 2012- Wake Forest), and according to what I've read on FlameFans and the Lynchburg News & Advance (where Chris Lang does outstanding work covering Liberty athletics), this is the first time the Flames have taken on a ranked opponent from the former Division 1-A. 

Matchup

Location: Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC

Series: First Meeting

Kickoff: 6:00 PM
Radio: Victory FM Radio Network (Liberty) Alan York play-by-play. Tar Heel Sports Network (UNC) Jones Angell play-by-play

Television: ESPN3

Coaches: Turner Gill (3rd season at Liberty, 14-9 Record); Larry Fedora (3rd season at UNC, 16-9 Record)

One of the big questions heading into the game for the Tar Heels heading into this matchup is who would be the one taking the first snap of the season. Two players were under consideration throughout spring football and all the way through training camp: Marquise Williams, the redshirt junior who started 6 games last year, and Mitch Trubisky, a highly touted recruit out of Ohio who graduated a semester early so he could compete for the job in spring 2013, but redshirted last season.  Head Coach Larry Fedora has kept things very close to the vest as to who his starter will be, so I expect Liberty has done their best to prepare for both possibilities.

For Liberty, the big question on offense is DJ Abnar. He stepped into the starting running back position after 2013 starter Des Rice suffered a knee injury during the final spring practice session and will sit out 2014. Abnar is a very talented back, but at 185 pounds, the concern is whether he can handle being the feature back, having never had more than 20 carries in a game, or been a real between the tackles type runner. Todd Macon, one of the top gets in the 2013 recruiting class, won the backup job, and I would not be surprised if he got a fair number of touches to keep DJ fresh.

Prediction:

Liberty has made it a habit over the last 8 seasons to be competitive against FBS schools, especially in the (former) BCS AQ conferences. Here are the results in those games since current Richmond head coach Danny Rocco took the helm in 2006:

2006: Wake Forest 34-14

2009: West Virginia 33-20

2011: NC State 43-21

2012: Wake Forest 20-17

In four matchups, the Flames lost by a combined 170-72, but lost by more than 14 points twice. Against NC State, the Flames were within 9 points late in the 4th quarter before sloppy offensive play led to the last 2 Wolfpack TDs. Against Wake Forest in 2012, the Demon Deacons needed a TD with about 5 minutes to go to take the lead after trailing much of the second half. 

In short, Liberty has not been one to roll over in these matchups. UNC did defeat ODU (entering their first full season of Conference USA play this year) 80-20 last year, but I think Liberty is much more capable of a competitive matchup than the Monarchs were that day (even with former Walter Payton Award winner Taylor Heinecke). The Flames know that a good showing down on Tobacco Road could give them a real kickstart with a 4 game stretch against Norfolk State, Brevard, Bryant, and Indiana State on the horizon. UNC has to be careful not to overlook the boys from Lynchburg with a matchup against San Diego State on the horizon for themselves. I think the Flames keep it close as they have been known to do the last few years, but come up a bit short, gaining some much needed confidence though heading into the season

Liberty 24

UNC 34

I'll have an interview with Andrew Carter from the News-Observer, beat writer for UNC, posted later on this week, plus I will try to post a video with my keys to the game on Friday.

Signing Day Postmortem

I had a chance to digest the new class of Liberty Flames for a couple days and here is my analysis of the class, player by player, and at the end will talk about the group as a whole (credit ro LibertyFlames.com for the info on the signees)

Tolen Avery 6-4 235 Lbs DL Texas City, TX (Ball HS)

This is a signing a really liked. He lined up at end mostly in his highlight videos but he did have a few plays as an interrior lineman. With his size and speed he will probably be looking at playing at the offside end spot opposite 2013 All Conference honoree Chima Uzowihe in the next couple years which will afford the Flames the ability to get more pressure on the QB, something that was lacking in the big games last year.

J.T. Bradwell 6-2 190 Lbs QB Tallahassee, FL (Godby HS)

While QB wasnt a dire need for the FLames (with Woodrum, Shashaty and 2013 Redshirt Masha all returning along with 2013 PWO Bo Swanson), Bradwell is a good get to give them an athletic player who can make plays with his arms and his legs. With Woodrum graduating after 2015, this will be a year for Bradwell to get some good seasoning before diving headlong into the QB battle with Shashaty and Masha.

Daquin "Buddy Edwards 6-0 230 Lbs RB/FB Lake Butler, FL (Union County HS)

This was one that flew largely under the radar until the final couple weeks of the recruiting season. Edwards is another big back the Flames will be able to give the rock to and chew up yards and clock, and while he wont set any world records in the 100 yard dash, he will get you plenty of yards after contact thanks to a very powerful frame.

B.J. Farrow 6-2 170 Lbs WR Forest, VA (Liberty Christian Academy)

Farrow joins what is becoming a steadily pipeline of WR from just on the other side of campus, joining former Flames standout Patrick Kelly and his brother Dakota (2013 redshirt and preferred walk-on) and former DB Chris McAlister (who switched over to the defensive side of the ball when he suited up for the Flames). Gill was extremely happy to get what some would call a "value signing" in one of the top WRs in th Central Virginia area. Farrow, at 6-2, played like he was about 6-5 or taller, showing a high propensity to win 50-50 balls and a field awareness that allowed him to make plays that a lot of other receivers might struggle with. If he can adjust quickly to the college game, he could be threatening quite a few records before his time on the mountain is over.

Lucas Irons 6-0 195 Lbs LB Ft. Lauderdale, FL (Coconut Creek HS)

One of the biggest needs for the Flames came at the LB position with two time all-conference standout Scott Hyland (also a former LCA product like B.J. Farrow above) graduating. Irons gives the Flames a smart, but also physical presence (a la former Flame Brent Vinson) at the second level, while also providing speed to get to the QB in blitz situations.

Cameron Jackson 6-1 185 Lbs S Pearland, TX (Lutheran South Academy)

First thing that I like about Cam is his physicality. He had some very solid hits on his highlight film ad would give the defensive backfield some definite pop over the middle as well as in run support. The other positive is his height and ball skills. being 6-1 will help him in coverage situations against equal or taller receivers, plus he will be very good at making plays on the ball in the open field. My big concern is his route recognition and attempting to make a play on the ball leading to a big play (something that happened quite a bit last year in the Flames defensive backfield

Corbin Jackson 6-0 190 Lbs CB Charlotte, NC (Victory Christian School)

Corbin is another big physical DB which will help the Flames on the back end with the departure of Walt Aikens from last year's team (graduation this May), and he has very good ball skills like Cameron above him, but he also showed that he can be a major contributor in special teams much like another outgoing Flame, Kevin Fogg. Jackson could find himself seeing quite a bit of tield time in that aspect before making an impact on the defense.

Avery "A.J." James  6-0 S Duncan, SC (Byrnes HS)

James continues the theme of big DBs for the Flames, and coming from high school power Byrnes (home to former Presbyterian coach Bobby Bentley), he brings an impressive pedigree to the mountain, and much like the other DBs, impressive ball skills to match. Word from my friends over at Liberty Flames Nation (www.libertyflamesnation.com) is that James will get a shot to see the field immediately so he will certainly get a chance to put those ball skills of his to work soon as he hits the mountain this summer.

Javon Majors 6-3 250 Lbs DL Virginia Beach, VA (Ocean Lakes HS)

Majors is the first player from the talent rich Hampton Roads area to suit up for the Flames since former LB and DL standout Demetrius Ward. He played a lot of tackle in his highlight film, but someone of his size, he probably will be playing defensive end, which judging by his video, will take advantage of his speed and he could also play right away which would make for an excellent complement to Chima Uzowihe like Avery.

James Passmore 6-6 270 Lbs OL Dallas, NC (North Gaston HS)

Passmore fills one of two major holes in the trenches with the hogmolly from NC. Passmore was on the right side of the line in every one of his highlights so I think that he could be a future replacement for former right guard Malcolm Boyd.

Gregg Storey Jr. 6-5 315 Lbs OL Cary, NC (Panther Creek HS)

Storey was the other piece up front for Turner Gill and the Flames, and he gives the Flames a bulldozer for the middle of the line. He is very nimble for his size and wll clear the way for the future Flames backfield

Chris Turner 6-3 175 Lbs CB Columbia, SC (Denmark-Olar HS)

This one was filed under "who?". Turner gives the Flames one more big body to match up with the taller WRs that are becoming commonplace in college football. Turner did suffer an injury that caused him to miss much of his senior year so his health is going to be a question coming into camp.

Will Johnson 6-6 245 Lbs TE Maple Grove, MN (Osseo HS/West Virginia)

The Flames picked up their first FBS transfer since Walt Aikens and first on the offensive side since Tommy Beecher with the former Mountaineer. At 6-6, he gives whoever the QB is a very big target which will open up the passing game for the WRs.

Avery Echols 5-10 180 Lbs K Zeeland, MI (East HS)

The Flames pick up another kicker to offer some competition with 2013 starting kicker John Lunsford sitting out the first two games of 2014, which creates a competition now with walk-on Shane Blanchard, who filled in for the first half of the Brevard game while Lunsford was suspended. Echols will have a chance to be the third true freshman to start for Liberty at kicker since 2008 (Matt Bevins and the aforementioned Lunsford being the other two).

2014 Signing Day Preview

After a lengthy hiatus, we are back and just in time for the 2014 Signing Day of February 5.

Here is who the Liberty Flames have lost from 2013:

3 WR Jaquan Glover, Greg Pratt, Branden Francis
1 RB Aldreakis Allen
1 TE Brandon Apon
2 OL Malcolm Boyd (redshirt), Hunter Steward
3 DL Jibrille Fewell, Cory Freeman, Francis Bah
2 LB Scott Hyland, Chris Mayo (converting from DB)
4 DB Aaron Dial, Sorie Bayoh, Walt Aikens, Kevin Fogg (redshirt)
1 P Grant Bowden
1 LS Richard Wright

Also, Michael Johnson completed his degree and will not be returning in 2014.

Here is a look at the list of players from the class of 2014 who have committed to signing letters of intent on Wednesday:

3 OL (James Passmore, Gregg Storey, Jeff Fox)
2 LB (Avery James and Lucas Irons)
2 DL (Javon Majors, Tolen Avery)
1 QB (JT Bradwell) *Not a team need*
1 RB Daquin Edwards
1 WR (BJ Farrow)
1 ATH (Corbin Jackson)
1 DB (Cameron Jackson)
1 P/K (Avery Echols
1 TE (Trey Caso)

With only four days until national signing day, here is how I perceive the team needs for this signing class:

3 DB (although Corbin Jackson could fill one of those)
2 WR
1 DL (preferably a DT)
1 LS

If I had to prioritize the remaining positions by importance I would rank them this way:

1. DB- With Fogg and Aikens both gone (Aikens earning all-conference honors AND a spot in the 2014 Senior Bowl), they are probably the two biggest pieces that need to be filled in the backfield. Kenny Scott will probably take one of those starting spots in the backfield along with sophomore Wesley Scott, with 2013 Liberty Flames Nation athlete Jacob Hagen and sophomore Gary Sampson on the back end. The real question will come from who will back these four up as well as who takes on the nickel back spots for those situations. Cam Jackson looks very impressive on film and could follow in the steps of Sampson and Scott and come right in and play as a freshman next year.
2. LB- the Flames lose two very good second level guys in Scott Hyland, the former Liberty Christian standout who earned back to back all-conference honors, and physical DB/LB hybrid Chris Mayo.
Nick "Big Stack" Sigmon will be the anchor of the group (and probably an early favorite for defensive PotY along with Quinn Backus from CCU), and returners Andrew Jauch and Bobby Partilla will probably be early favorites to split time at another spot according to Liberty Flames Nation. The biggest question mark in the group is Dallas Griffiths. He has battled injuries the last couple seasons and has really not had a chance to live up to his full potential, but if he can get back to even close to 100%, he will be an early favorite for the last spot, otherwise, we could see a freshman stepping in here as well.
3. P- Now most would be hard pressed to see punter as an important position, but with all-conference punter (and former Virginia Tech Hokie) Grant Bowden graduating, the only other one on the roster is unproven walk-on Trey Turner. With John Lunsford returning to battle with Shane Blanchard for the kicking job, this will be an important one to watch if Turner Gill and the Flames coaches can get another punter on the mountain in this class.
4. DL- Liberty lost three all-conference players in Fewell, Freeman and Bah (who started out as a TE and FB before switching to the defense). Chima Uzowihe enjoyed a major surge in productivity in 2013, almost tripling his numbers from 2012 and earning Big South All-Conference honors. The biggest question will be who fills in the middle after two sizable contributors graduated
5. LS- All-American Richard Wright sent his final snap against CSU in November, so it will be interesting to see if 2013 preferred walk-on Hunter Winstead steps into that role, or if TG and the staff are able to find someone on the recruiting trail with longsnapping experience. Whatever the case, they will have quite a tradition of excellence to follow at the position with Wright and forner LS Dan Pope both earning All-conference and All-American honors.
6. TE- This is a position that I think you would least likely see a freshman have a chance to step in right away and play despite the graduation of all-conference player Brandon Apon and Michael Johnson. With quite a few upperclassmen though. it might be a nice position to pick up one or two and plan for the future.

2013 Season is upon us

Greetings Flames Nation!

After a year away, I am back with another round of posts for the 2013 season and this year we will be kicking things off with posts during training camp. The Flames opened the 2013 camp with a practice yesterday morning and another will be wrapping up as I type this post. I'll be posting my thoughts on how the team looks on Saturday (I'll be visiting each Friday) as my work schedule allows.

The two weeks leading up to the 2013 season opener @ Kent State I will be posting my thoughts on each position group, culminating with my Fan the Flames preview of the opener on Aug 28.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and also that of Liberty Flames Nation, written by Jon Manson and the team over there.

Looking forward to another season in Gillville!

FAN THE FLAMES

Fan the Flames Preview: VMI

Liberty 5-5 (4-1)

 vs.

VMI 2-8 (1-4)

Its the regular season finale for these two in state rivals and major Big South championship implications ride on this game as well as Coastal Carolina's finale against Charleston Southern.

Looking at Liberty:

The Flames are coming off the biggest win in the history of the program at the I-AA/FCS level, when they knocked off #6/8 Stony Brook 28-14 in Lynchburg on Saturday. Stony Brook, which has made a living on big plays on the ground and in the air, had only three plays of more than 20 yards, none of them from top back Miguel Maysonet, who finished with only 70 yards on 25 carries. In fact, the longest run for the Seawolves came from quarterback Kyle Essington on their first drive of the game. The Seawolves finished with their lowest team rushing total on the season at 156 yards, the fewest total rushing yards for the Seawolves since finishing with 150 in the second round of the 2011 I-AA/FCS Playoffs.

The defense carried the day with Nick Sigmon causing two turnovers, both leading to Flames touchdowns. Sigmon first intercepted Kyle Essington and went 21 yards for a touchdown to put Liberty up 21-7, and then in the fourth quarter, with Liberty clinging to a 21-14 lead, he forced Maysonet to fumble, and Jacob Hagen picked it up and went 44 yards for a touchdown to clinch the victory. Sigmon also fittingly made the tackle on the final play of the game, sandwiching Miles Campbell of Stony Brook after he took a lateral from Adrian Coxson. Sigmon was rewarded for his efforts with the Big South Defensive Player of the Week. The sophomore from nearby Roanoke is third on the team with 49 tackles, and first with 11.0 tackles for loss.

After starting the season 0-4, Liberty has won five of six,  allowing 11.5 points in the last four victories.

Looking at VMI:

The Keydets have been heading in the wrong direction in the second half of the season. Since beating Presbyterian 17-7, the Runnin Roos have done very little running, losing five in a row, outscored on average 35.2-11.8 with an average margin of defeat of 23.4 points, averaging 53 yards on the ground in those five losses.

Most of the offense has come from junior quarterback Eric Kordenbrock, who had one of the best games of his career against Liberty in Lynchburg last season. Kordenbrock, from Gibsonia, PA, comes into the finale with 1,788 yards passing and 6 TDs with 9 interceptions, after finishing last year with 9 total interceptions and 10 TDs.

VMI fell to former Southern Conference foe The Citadel in the "Military Classic of the South" on Saturday 27-24. Kordenbrock finished 10-21 for 191 yards and a TD, and leading rusher on the season Jabari Turner finished with 48 yards and a touchdown.

This is an important game for Liberty. With a win, the Flames will clinch not only a share of their fifth Big South Conference championship, but also their seventh consecutive winning season (after only one winning season since 2000 and 4 since 1990), but, with a loss by Coastal Carolina, can clinch their first ever bid to the NCAA Division I-AA/FCS playoffs. Coming off an emotional high like this, a game like this can be best described in three words according to Admiral Akbar:

This could be a bonafide trap game for Liberty. That said, the Flames have not lost to VMI since 2006, and have not lost in Lexington since 2002 (four straight wins). Coach Gill will have this team ready to play and will go out firing and win this one easily, and then the boys will become Charleston Southern fans during the fourth quarter.

Liberty 38
VMI 17

Keep an eye out for LU Flames Nation's preview of the game later this week

Fan the Flames Preview: Coastal Carolina

Liberty (3-4, 2-0)

vs.

Coastal Carolina (3-4, 1-1)

The second game of what I call the "holy trinity" of the Big South takes place this weekend as the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers host Liberty.

Both teams come into this weekend with momentum, Coastal coming off a 34-7 rout of VMI in Lexington, while the Flames come in burning bright following their third straight victory over Division II Concord 21-13.

Liberty does come in minus one of their biggest deep threats as Ryan Ferguson was announced as out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury sustained on the opening kickoff against Concord. Darrin "Petey" Peterson and Jaquan Glover saw increased playing time. Ryan Ayers will return to action at cornerback against the Chants, which is a definite bit of good news. The Flames however, did lose linebacker Bobby Partilla and the career of Korrey Davis came to an end due to a hip injury.

The Liberty-CCU series is probably the most even series outside of Liberty and Stony Brook. Liberty won the first meeting between the two in 2003, 38-21. CCU then ran off the next four meetings, including the first two in Conway, 33-6 and 28-26. Liberty broke through in 2007, (the debut of the red jerseys), and won the next three meetings to tie the series at 4. CCU then upset the Flames (who were on the cusp of a top 10 ranking at the time) in 2010, on the way to the first ever automatic bid for the Big South. Liberty then trampled Coastal last season in Lynchburg, scoring the first 42 points on the way to a 63-27 victory and knotting the series at 5.

Liberty has not had a lot of success down at the beach, with the "beach chickens" holding a 3-1 advantage at Brooks Stadium. 

CCU will need a balanced attack to be able to hold serve once again. Aramis Hillary comes into the weekend leading the conference in passing yards (1,657) and second in passing TDs (11), but the Chants will need more from running backs Jeremy Height (who was held to only 9 yards, as the Chants rushed for 159 as a team) and freshman Lorenzo Taliaferro (who is drawing comparisons to former Chant RB Mike Tolbert, now with the NFL's Carolina Panthers) for Coastal to come away with a victory.

Liberty needs to keep winning to force a potential winner take all game in Lynchburg on November 10. a CCU win, coupled with a Liberty win on November 10, likely gives Coastal the automatic qualifier for the second time in three years, thanks to the conference's new tiebreaking procedures (see a very informative post here from LU Flames Nation)

One thing that you can guarantee about games between LU and CCU down in Myrtle Beach is the scoreboard operators are gonna be very busy (the average score between the two has been 47-33 in favor of Coastal). If both QBs (Hillary for CCU and Woodrum for Liberty) play like they have the last few weeks, it will come down to who can establish the running game and open up the lanes for their dual threat QB. I call Liberty to take this one in another South Carolina shootout.

Liberty 45

CCU 38
