From the Media Room: East Carolina

After another Conference USA victory to remain atop the league standings, Liberty Head Football Coach Jamey Chadwell met with the media on Tuesday to recap the match-up against UTEP and look ahead to this week's non-conference game against East Carolina.

After Chadwell's weekly presser, Flames' linebacker Teylor Jackson, a East Carolina transfer, and wide receiver Tyson Mobley addressed the media from the Media Room inside the Liberty Football Center.

The Flames have never faced East Carolina on the gridiron and are seeking their first-ever victory over an AAC opponent.

Defending CUSA champion Liberty is the nation's only team with a pair of conference wins in 2024 after topping New Mexico State and UTEP the last two weeks.

The Flames have won a program-record 15 straight regular-season games, including 10 straight home victories.

2023 CUSA Co-Coach of the Year Jamey Chadwell is in his second year at Liberty. He is 16-1 with the Flames and owns a 47-7 coaching record dating back to the start of 2020.

Running back Billy Lucas stepped up during last week's 28-10 win over UTEP, contributing 21 carries for 104 yards and a career-high three rushing touchdowns. His performance followed back-to-back 100-yard efforts by running back Quinton Cooley to begin the year.

Wide receiver Treon Sibley has been quarterback Kaidon Salter's favorite target in 2024 and ranks No. 8 nationally with 341 receiving yards.

The Liberty defense recorded a season-high three takeaways (two interceptions, one fumble recovery) vs. UTEP and held the Miners to 10 points. Defensive end TJ Bush recorded 1.5 sacks in the game, giving him a career-high 3.5 already this season (ranked No. 9 nationally).
