As the calendar winds down to the final days of 2014, the Liberty Flames Sports Network is looking back at the moments that made this athletics year special for Flames Nation.
The series continues today by looking at Moment No. 9, Jacob Hagen's interception in the end zone to seal Liberty's football win over Appalachian State on Oct. 11, 2014.
After Appalachian State missed a potential game-winning 32-yard field goal at the end of regulation, Liberty quarterback Josh Woodrum completed a nine-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Darrin Peterson in the first overtime to put the Flames ahead.
Following a 16-yard run by Mountaineer running back Marcus Cox on Appalachian State's first overtime play, Flames' All-America safety Jacob Hagen intercepted a pass from Taylor Lamb in the end zone to complete the victory.
Hagen's interception completed Liberty's 55-48 victory over Appalachian State at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The loss was the final one of the year for Appalachian State, who finished the season with a 7-5 overall record and a 6-2 mark in its first year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.
The win marked Liberty's first over an FBS program since defeating Ball State, 27-23, on Sept. 11, 2010 and the program's third overall win in program history over an FBS team (also defeated Eastern Michigan, 25-24, on Oct. 24, 1989).
The Liberty Flames Sports Network will continue to count down the Top 10 moments of 2014 when LibertyFlames.com reveals moment No. 8 on Monday.
