The victory, Liberty's third in a row, ups the Flames' overall record to 6-4 and 3-1 in Big South play. The loss, PC's second-consecutive setback, drops the Blue Hose to 3-6 on the season and 1-2 in league play. <\/p>\n
The win also keeps the Flames in the hunt for their sixth Big South title in the last seven years. Earlier in the day, No. 18\/16 Charleston Southern upended No. 5\/3 Coastal Carolina, 31-26, at home, placing the Buccaneers in first place in the Big South at 3-0. <\/p>\n
Liberty travels to Charleston, S.C., to face the Buccaneers (10-1) the last week of the regular season on Nov. 23. <\/p>\n
The Flames scored on their opening drive of the game thanks to a pair of deep passes downfield by Josh Woodrum. <\/p>\n
Following 20-yard completion to tight end Brandon Apon over the middle of the field, Woodrum found Darrin Peterson open in the far corner of the end zone. The wide receiver's team-leading sixth touchdown reception of the year, which went for 20 yards, gave Liberty the early 7-0 lead with 11:25 left in the first quarter. <\/p>\n
The rest of the quarter saw the two teams turnover the ball over, each one time. Following PC's first drive, the Blue Hose punted to Kevin Fogg. The senior managed to return the kick six yards before Cannon Jordan forced the ball loose and Kenyon Brown jumped on the football. <\/p>\n
The Blue Hose managed to drive into the Flames' red zone where they handed the ball off to Blake Roberts. The redshirt freshman got to the outside, but Jacob Hagen was able to jar the ball free from the running back's hands and Scott Hyland recovered the miscue. <\/p>\n
