From the Media Room: Delaware

As part of the team's preparations for a return to Saturday football games, Liberty Head Football Coach Jamey Chadwell met with the media on Tuesday.

During the media session, Chadwell provides his insight into what the team has done during the last two weeks, plus looked ahead to the Homecoming Weekend game against Delaware.

After Chadwell's weekly presser, quarterback Ethan Vasko and safety A'Khori Jones addressed the media from the Media Room inside the Liberty Football Center.

The Flames and Fightin' Blue Hens have never met on the gridiron, making Delaware the only first-time opponent on Liberty's 2025 schedule.

The Flames are playing for the first time in 18 days, following a dramatic 30-27 home victory over New Mexico State on Oct. 14. Evan Dickens scored the game-winning rushing touchdown with 36 seconds left, and the Aggies missed a potential game-tying 47-yard field goal as time elapsed.

Jamey Chadwell is 24-9 in his third year at Liberty and owns a 55-15 coaching record dating back to the start of 2020. The Flames are 15-2 at Williams Stadium under Chadwell.

Quarterback Ethan Vasko completed 20-of-30 passes for 179 yards last time out, including a 7-of-7 showing during the game-winning 13-play, 92-yard drive.

Making his return from injury, running back Evan Dickens rushed 13 times for 50 yards and both of the Flames' offensive touchdowns against New Mexico State.

Special teams played a major role in Liberty's victory over the Aggies. Julian Gray returned a kick 96 yards for a touchdown (Liberty's first kick return for a score since 2022), the Flames recovered two muffed punt returns which led to 10 points and Jay Billingsley connected on all three of his field goal tries.
