Dukes Beat Buzz at Liberty University

[Crabtownboy]

FONT="Century Gothic"]JMU, where I did my undergraduate work, went to Lynchburg to play a highly motivated Liberty University .....

LYNCHBURG - Apparently, mind games - however transparent - work.

Corwin Acker's 65-yard touchdown run and Matt Goff's 65-yard punt helped James Madison escape Liberty with a rain-soaked 24-10 win Saturday despite committing its first three turnovers of the year.

The Dukes, it seems, were tired of hearing hype about the Flames.

"Just all the yapping about, you know, ‘They're ready to beat you. That's all they care about. They want to beat you all,'" senior defensive end Arthur Moats said. "That's all we kept hearing all week."

All week long, JMU coach Mickey Matthews relayed to his Dukes tales of the buzz in Lynchburg, the big crowd Liberty expected and the "Beat JMU" T-shirt Flames coach Danny Rocco had worn.

The message: Don't overlook a highly motivated Liberty team.

Liberty is really bringing together a world class collegiate atheletics program. I am super excited about what is going to be happening there in the next 5 years...particularly with the improvements to the stadiums and such.

As an alum of Liberty I can honestly say that I plan on giving to support the school throughout my life...something that I can't say about my seminary right now. There are great things going on at Liberty University!
