LU Notebook: Game wreckers excelled in opener

From the beginning last Saturday night against Tusculum, Liberty middle linebacker Nick Hursky was everywhere. He blew through the offensive line on blitzes. He stopped runners in the backfield. He forced Tusculum out of its comfort zone.

Good article. I like the quote about how Rocco wants to recruit the state of Virginia "at the highest possible level". That's great to hear, and he's already out to a good start on that mission.

Also mentioned, Pinigis out Weaver starts again at tackle. This is good experience for Weaver for next year, but I sure hope Pinigis is ready to go by W&m and I think he will be.

Two thoughts communicated by others--Coach Rocco said that the 2008 freshmen could be red-shirt seniors by the time we play UVa in 2013, and someone on an earlier thead said that if LU keeps growing at 10% a year that we could have a larger enrollment than Mr. Jefferson's University by 2013.

Does anyone else feel weird thinking of 2013? It sounds so... futuristic?

Especially since the world will end on Dec 21, 2012...none of us will be here in 2013.
