From the Media Room: Appalachian State
9/24/2024 11:31:00 AM | Football
Following a second late-night victory in 2024, Liberty Head Football Coach Jamey Chadwell met with the media on Tuesday to recap the match-up against East Carolina and look ahead to this week's non-conference game at Appalachian State.
After Chadwell's weekly presser, Flames' wide receiver Reese Smith and cornerback Dexter Ricks, Jr., addressed the media from the Media Room inside the Liberty Football Center.
This will mark the 11th meeting between Liberty and Appalachian State in a series that dates back to 1987 but the first with both teams playing at the FBS level. The Flames are just 3-7 all-time against the Mountaineers but won the most recent meeting, 55-48 (OT) in Boone on Oct. 11, 2014.
Liberty has won three straight matchups with Sun Belt foes, moving to 10-3 all-time against members of the conference.
Liberty overcame a 17-0 deficit and a 4:37 weather delay to defeat East Carolina 35-24 in a game which ended at 2 a.m. Sunday morning at Williams Stadium. That marked the Flames' 16th straight regular-season win. If Liberty is victorious Saturday, it would have its first-ever seven-game road winning streak.
Jamey Chadwell is in his second year at Liberty. He is 17-1 with the Flames and owns a 48-7 coaching record dating back to the start of 2020.
Running back Quinton Cooley rushed 19 times for 105 yards and a game-sealing 21-yard touchdown with 2:00 left in the win over East Carolina. He has posted three 100-yard games this year and is CUSA's leading rusher (371 yards).
Wide receiver Reese Smith enjoyed a breakout game against East Carolina, tying the Liberty single-game record of three receiving touchdowns and posting a team-high 80 receiving yards.
Cornerback Dexter Ricks, Jr. notched an INT for the second straight game, one of two turnovers forced by the Flames in the fourth quarter against East Carolina.
