Anticipation for the beginning of the Danny Rocco Era of Liberty Football began Dec. 2, 2005, the day the program’s seventh head coach kicked off his Flames coaching career. The hype continued for the follow- ing 272 days until the Flames opened a renovated Williams Stadium, sporting the latest FieldTurf and a state-of-the-art Williams Football Operation Center, against St. Paul’s on Aug. 31, 2006. And even the remnants of a hurricane couldn’t dampen the spirits of the 8,546 who filed into the on-campus facility, braving the elements and officially launching a campaign which will go down in program history as … A Season to Remember!

LibertyFlames.com 7 In centuries gone by, "liberty" was just a concept - an idea feared by tyrants and dreamed of by the opposed. In more recent history, "liberty" became a cause and a deeply held belief worth fighting and dying for. Today, Liberty University has become a place where students call home … where people dare to dream big dreams and then work to see those dreams come to pass … where old-fashioned values and morality still survive and thrive in a world which appears to have forgotten the meaning of the word … where the undeniable Truth of the Ages still reigns supreme … where the whole person is edu- cated - body, mind and soul … a place where you can learn, grow and achieve wholeness as you become all God created you to be. The Mission To produce Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge and skills required to impact tomorrow's world … the mission is carried out for resident students, through both undergraduate and graduate programs, through a rigorous academic program and structured social environment … also, it is carried out externally for students who can't make the trek to the campus in a comparable aca- demic program but without the structure of the resi- dent community, through a distance learning pro- gram. A Brief History For more than 36 years, Liberty University has produced graduates with the values, knowledge and skills required to impact the world. Founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell and Dr. Elmer Towns in 1971, Liberty University is a private, coeducational, undergraduate and graduate institution. The University offers over 60 programs of study that contribute to the University’s standing as the world’s largest distinc- tively Christian, academically excellent and spiritually vibrant institution. The 5,000-acre campus serves over 25,000 resident and external students with a diverse student body made up of individuals from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and 81 nations. Liberty is truly a representation of what God can do with a dream and a heart that desires to honor Him. Location Situated in Lynchburg, Va., Liberty University is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and located on the south bank of the his- toric James River, in a region rich in history, culture and outdoor recreational opportunities. Liberty University Faculty Liberty University’s over 350 full-time and more than 300 part-time faculty are committed to engag- ing with students in the challenge of exploring vital links between faith and learning. There are over 450 institutions of higher learning represented among this impressive group. Liberty’s commitment to personalized education also ensures that the student-to-professor ratio is nicely balanced at 25:1. Degree Programs In higher education, the principal means of ensur- ing quality is accreditation by a recognized accredit- ing body or agency. Liberty University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and nationally accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). Additionally, a number of spe- cific programs are approved by accrediting and licensing bodies for specific disciplines (i.e. our nursing, sport management and education pro- grams). SACS and TRACS, in turn, are both recog- nized accrediting bodies by the United States Department of Education. Spiritual Life The Spiritual Life Department prepares students to make a global impact for the glory of God - wher- ever He leads them. Life-changing campus church and convocation services connect students with their Creator through passionate worship and powerful Biblical messages custom designed for this collegiate generation. These services give Liberty students first-hand encounters with the most influential Christians on the planet. Each semester the Campus Pastor’s Office per- sonally trains over 1,000 student leaders who are the catalysts for the positive peer pressure and Biblical community which is the glue of Liberty University. Each year, these student leaders minis- ter personally to their peers and commit to love, pray for, pray with and personally disciple every stu- dent on campus. Every student’s relationship with Christ is a priority. Light Ministries facilitates Liberty’s global vision by providing dozens of opportunities each year for the Liberty community to participate in cross-cultural missions experiences. Already over 7,000 students have boarded planes to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to over three million people. The Spiritual Life Department is radically commit- ted to aligning the Liberty community with the Great Commandment and Great Commission of Jesus Christ. As the spiritual fires are sparked in hearts - Spiritual Life fans the flame.

Opened prior to the 2006 season, this 48,000-square foot building is a state-of-the-art facility that brings all operations for the football team under one roof for the first time in the history of the program. The bottom floor houses specially-designed weight training equipment in a spacious weight and conditioning area, while the second floor (at ground level) includes the team’s locker room, academic lab, equipment room and a cutting-edge athletic training facility. The top floor houses both coaching staff and administrative offices, numerous video and conference rooms and a uniquely-designed viewing room which overlooks the North end zone at Williams Stadium, where members of the Flames Club can enjoy several pre-game festivities. Donor Room Overlooking Williams Stadium Construction for the Williams Football Operations Center was made possible due to a generous donation of $4.5 million dollars by the Art Williams Foundation. The Art Williams Foundation is no stranger to those familiar with the Flames football program, as the football stadium is named in honor of Arthur L. and Angela Williams, major contributors to Liberty University. The football stadium was given the name Williams Stadium, which it still bares today. The Williams Football Operations Center is just one of several facets of the redesign of the program and is helping to usher in a New Era of Liberty Football. Academic Lab

24 2007 Liberty Flames Football When looking at the success of an athletics program, one aspect which needs to be considered is the quality of its facilities. Student-athletes involved in Liberty University’s athletics program have the opportunity to showcase their talents in a number of fine athletic facilities. Like the pro- gram itself, these on-campus facilities have improved tremendously since the program’s inception in 1973. The Hancock Athletic Center, dedicated on Feb. 12, 1985, was donated by A.L. Williams and his wife, Angela, in honor of her parents, Sidney Lanier and Willemae Gates Hancock. Offices housed in the Hancock Center include the administrative offices for athletics, the athletic media relations depart- ment, offices for the track, cross country and men’s soccer, wrestling and tennis coaching staffs. The Hancock Athletic Center also includes a spa- cious 8,500-square-foot weight room, which is utilized by the entire athletic department. The weight room is furnished with the most modern equipment available for developing speed, strength and endurance. The spacious two-tiered facili- Hancock Weight Room ty has a free weight area that contains over 10 tons of weights. High-tech machines crafted by the industry’s top manufacturers, as well as other mod- ern strength and conditioning apparatuses, are available to Liberty’s stu- dent-athletes. Williams Stadium, also named in honor of A.L. Williams, is located near the entrance of the main campus and has been the home of the football program since 1989. The football stadium seats 12,000 with expansion capabilities up to 36,000. During the summer of 2006, a 48,000-square-foot facility was completed in the north end zone of the stadium, as the Williams Football Operations Center became the football program’s new home off the field. The new, state-of-the-art facility gives Liberty one of the nicest FCS football facilities in the nation, housing coaching and support staff offices, a spacious locker room, academic learning areas, a training room and a weight room. The cen- terpiece of the facility is a 3,000-square foot room overlooking Williams Stadium, where Flames Club members can enjoy pre-game meals. A final facility upgrade to Williams Stadium was completed just prior to the kickoff of the 2006 season as FieldTurf was installed. The Vines Convocation Center, home to all men’s and women’s basketball games and volleyball matches, is an 8,500-seat facility which was complet- ed in 1990. In 1998, the Vines Center hosted the 46th-best women’s bas- ketball home attendance in the nation. Basketball, volleyball and a number of other indoor activities can take place in the versatile Schilling Center. The men's and women's basketball teams held their home games in what was then known as Liberty Gym in this facility from 1979 to 1990. The Schilling Center has two full-court areas Williams Football Operations Center (Cont. on page 26)

In 2005, the facility was upgraded to give Liberty’s basketball pro- grams two new practice courts. Wrestling and volleyball each received new facilities during the 2006-07 school year. The reinstated wrestling program turned the old football field house in the south end zone of Williams Stadium into a state-of-the-art wrestling room. Volleyball moved its office into a new facility on Campus East that includes its very own practice gym. Home baseball games are played at the beautiful Worthington Stadium. Recognized by Sportsturf Magazine as the best field in the nation in 1998, the facility was named in honor of Al Worthington, who began the Flames’ baseball program in 1974. He also served as the Liberty athletics director from 1984-89. Liberty Softball Field The Crowder-Muckel Fieldhouse is located adjacent to Worthington Stadium. The clubhouse, which is one of the finest baseball facilities in the country, includes locker rooms for both the Flames and visiting teams, a team room, weight room, training room, umpires’ locker room, public rest- rooms for fans, sky box seating and full-length indoor batting cages. The Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex is the home of the Flames’ successful track program. The track, which features a polyurethane surface, is named after former track coaches Jake Matthes and Ron Hopkins. The same facility holds the Liberty Soccer Field, where both the men’s and women’s soccer teams play. In 1996, lights were added so games could be played at night. Liberty’s tennis teams have been significantly enhanced by the recent addi- tion of three new tennis courts at the Esbenshade-Hershey Tennis Center, bringing the total numby has received numerous upgrades, including a new backstop and an enclosed hitting circuit with two new batting cages.

The indoor center is one of just three indoor track facilities in the state of Virginia and features a flat 200-meter oval with a Mondo surface. The track has a wide radius, a four-lane oval and an eight- lane straightaway. Also located in the complex are two long/triple jump run- ways, a pole vault runway and a high jump apron. The purchase of a FinishLynx timing system has greatly increased the abili- ty to host high-level high school and NCAA meets at the facility as well as at the university’s outdoor track complex.

Chad Wilt Robert Wimberly Steve Woof Heather Zealand Football Football Athletic Training Track& Field Assistant Coach Assistant Coach Assistant Trainer Administrative Assistant ATHLETICS Since joining the Big South Conference in 1991, Liberty has won 74 conference champi- onships, averaging nearly five league titles per season.

Liberty has won five Big South Sasser Cups (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003), award- ed annually to the most successful athletic program in the league, making Liberty the sec- ond-highest honored program in the confer- ence’s history.

Liberty had 157 student-athletes named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll at the con- clusion of the 2006-07 season. Over 35 per- cent of its student-athletes recorded a 3.0 GPA or higher in the classroom during the academic year.

Cross country/track and field competitor Arlene Zelinskas was a CoSIDA Academic All- America second-team selection in 2007, Liberty’s 11th CoSIDA Academic All-American in athletic department history. Zelinskas was also one of six student-athletes to earn CoSIDA Academic All-District and VaSID Academic All-State honors.

Kevin Mahan (men’s soccer), Mandee Wheelock (women’s soccer) and Arlene Zelinskas (outdoor track and field) were named Big South Scholar-Athletes of the Year in their respective sports, and 17 Liberty stu- dent-athletes were named to various Big South All-Academic teams.

Arlene Zelinskas capped off a stellar Liberty athletics career last year as she was named the recipient of the Mac Rivera/Rock Royer Award, an award given annually to honor Liberty’s top graduating senior student-athlete.

FOOTBALL Under the direction of Big South Coach of the Year Danny Rocco, Liberty tied for the best turnaround in the nation last year, posting a five-win improvement from 2005 to 2006.

Liberty picked up its first win over a nationally- ranked football program since 1997 with its 34-20 victory over No. 24 Charleston Southern at Williams Stadium.

Liberty rewrote the attendance record book in 2006, setting single-game and single-season records, while ranking No. 13 nationally in average home attendance.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Larry Blair finished his career this past year with 2,211 points scored, making him the Big South Conference’s all-time leading scorer and second-best scorer in program history.

MEN’S GOLF The men’s golf team holds the distinction of being the only athletics program in Liberty’s history to garner an at-large berth to a NCAA Championship, doing so twice over the past five years (2003 and 2006).

WRESTLING The wrestling program quickly reestablished its presence on the mats last year, claiming the NCAA East Regional title and sending four stu- dent-athletes to the NCAA National Championship in its first year back after a 12- year hiatus. SOFTBALL The Lady Flames have won 77 games over the last two years (41 in 2006 and 36 in 2007), including the most-notable wins in program history with victories over No. 6 Michigan, No. 10 Baylor, No. 23 Hawaii and No. 24 Virginia Tech (twice).

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The Lady Flames ranked No. 7 in the nation with a 3.508 team GPA for the 2006-07 academic year, the highest ranking in program history.

Sophomore Megan Frazee was invited to the USA Basketball Women’s National Team Trials after earning first-team VaSID All-State and All-Big South honors.

VOLLEYBALL Kallie Corbin captured the VaSID State Rookie of the Year and Big South Freshman of the Year awards. Along with Autum Black, the duo comprised the first pair in program history to receive VaSID second-team all-state mention in the same season.

CROSS COUNTRY The men’s and women’s cross country squads swept the Big South team titles for the first time since 1992, with Josh McDougal winning his third-straight individual Big South championship.

TRACK AND FIELD The men’s outdoor track team captured its second IC4A championship in program history, and its first since 1996.

Josh McDougal won five All-America honors between cross country and track, bringing his career total to 11. The junior also joined the sub-4:00 mile club and became the fifth-fastest all-time collegiate performer at 5,000 meters.

BASEBALL For the third-straight season, the diamond Flames won 30 or more games, only the second time in the 33-year history of the program.

With pitcher Michael Solbach and outfielder Garrett Young being drafted in this year’s Major League Baseball Draft, Liberty has now had players selected in every MLB Draft since 1999.

WOMEN’S SOCCER For the fifth time in the last eight seasons, the Lady Flames played in the Big South Women’s Soccer Championship title game.

MEN’S SOCCER For the first time, the men’s soccer program had two players sign contracts with profession- al teams. Liberty’s all-time leading scorer Darryl Roberts signed with Sparta Rotterdam FC of the Dutch League’s Division I, and Osei Telesford signed a contract with the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.

TENNIS Last year, Jonita Randolph became the winningest player, male or female, in Liberty tennis history and the program’s first ever Big South Player of the Year. LIBERTY FLAMES

Liberty held opponents to 1,433 total rushing yards and 306.6 average yards of offense per game, setting another pair of school bests. Liberty posted three shutouts in 2006, to set a new school record. The Flames allowed just 172 total points to post a new school mark and ranked 12th nationally in scoring defense (15.64 points per game). Offensively, Liberty chewed up the clock with its potent running attack, scampering for over 2,000 yards and having a pair of backs both surpass the 10-touchdown plateau for just the second time in program history. During Rocco’s first year, the Flames’ offense took great pride in con- trolling the clock and in ball possession. Liberty set new school records for fewest fumbles (10), fumbles lost (3) and total turnovers (8).

The announcement brought excitement back to a once strong athletic program as Dr. Falwell publicly named former Virginia associate head coach Danny Rocco as Liberty’s new head football coach. “Danny Rocco is a perfect fit for Liberty University in every way.

Reflections on Liberty’s No. 1 Fan - Dr. Jerry Falwell

May 15, 2007, will long be remembered as not only a day the University lost its Founder and Chancellor, but the record books will show it was also the day the Athletics Department saw its No. 1 fan pass away when Dr. Jerry Falwell went home to be with the Lord. Dr. Falwell, one of the greatest visionaries of the 20th century, often said there were two avenues by which he was going to grow a world-class University –music and athletics – knowing these two focal points speak the most to the youth of every generation. From the moment Lynchburg Baptist College opened its doors in 1971, meeting with 154 students in classrooms at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., Dr. Falwell quickly implemented plans to field athletics programs. In 1972, the Flames gained affiliation with the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association and the University fielded its first team, men’s basketball, which posted a 7-1 record during its first season of com- petition. Shortly thereafter, the University began to add programs, starting with football in 1973. During subsequent years, Liberty’s athletics programs began to move up the collegiate ladder, from NCCAA to NAIA until the Flames became a full- The Athletics Department honored Dr. Falwell by ceremonially retiring a No. 71 jersey during fledged NCAA Division I member on Sept. 1, 1988. the halftime of Liberty’s Homecoming game on October 14, 2006. Liberty now fields 18 NCAA Division I athletics programs which compete at the highest level of intercollegiate competition, fulfilling Dr. Falwell’s vision of being “Champions for Christ” in whatever field of calling the Lord leads. Although individuals from the outside world will remember Dr. Jerry Falwell as a conservative televangelist who energized the nation and the world to return to God, the thousands of student-athletes who have donned a Flames uniform over the three decades will remember him as their top supporter. Dr. Falwell rarely missed a home football or basketball game, overlooking the Flames’ gridiron battles from the press box at Williams Stadium or in the first row opposite the team benches at the Vines Center. It wasn’t strange to catch a glimpse of Dr. Falwell sitting in the dugout at home softball games or on the benches while Liberty was on the pitch playing soccer. And those trying to reach Dr. Falwell during a sunny spring Central Virginia afternoon had to walk down the hill from his office at the “Mansion,” as he would normally be at Worthington Stadium, with a hot dog and drink in hand, cheering his baseball boys to victory. Dr. Falwell’s attendance at an athletic event spurred numerous Liberty teams to victory and quickly energized a crowd, who responded with the infamous “JERR-EE” chant. During the late 90s, the daring and larger-than-life character would regularly walk across the Vines Center floor, climbing atop a packed student section, where Flames fanatics would “crowd surf” their heroic leader. But a Dr. Falwell sighting at a Flames athletic event was not just limited to Liberty Mountain, as he could also be seen following the Flames’ athletic teams around the country. Dr. Falwell was one of the last people to grab a piece of the cherished net when the men’s bas- ketball team claimed the Big South title down in Charleston, S.C., in 1994, followed by Liberty pushing No. 1 North Carolina to the brink in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. He was also the proudest of the Flames’ faithful sitting courtside in College Park, Md., when the Lady Flames basketball program made their Cinderella Run to the Sweet 16 in 2005, arguably the most notable achievement in athletics department history. During 2006, Dr. Falwell saw the revival of his precious Flames football program when Liberty posted the nation’s No. 1 turnabout, shattering program attendance records in the process. In light of his unwavering support over the years, the Athletics Department ceremonially retired a No. 71 football jersey at Liberty University’s annual homecoming game on Oct. 14, 2006 – bringing the Williams Stadium record-setting crowd of 15,631 to their feet with a roar of approval. And although he no longer physically will roam the sidelines at Flames athletics events, Dr. Falwell’s presence will never be forgotten. His legacy and charge to be a “Champion for Christ” will live on as long as Liberty student-athletes take to the field of competition.

172 2007 Liberty Flames Football Anticipation for the beginning of the Danny Rocco Era of Liberty Football began Dec. 2, 2005, the day the program’s seventh head coach kicked off his Flames coaching career. The hype continued for the follow- ing 272 days until the Flames opened a renovated Williams Stadium, sporting the latest FieldTurf and a state-of-the-art Williams Football Operation Center, against St. Paul’s on Aug. 31, 2006. And even the remnants of a hurricane couldn’t dampen the spirits of the 8,546 who filed into the on-campus facility, braving the elements and officially launching a campaign which will go down in program history as … A Season to Remember!
