Great news- thanks for the update Jimmy and best wishes for a quick and full recovery

That's almost embarassing isn't it? I mean to not even be on teh depth chart and you transfer from a D1 granted Marshall is pretty weak these days. I am glad to see that the guys transferring in don't just get handed jobs because anymore. Means were recruiting much better.

We are a DI program

Thanks for the update Jimmy. Your health is much more important than the game of football. We'll continue to pray for you.

Yeah I'm not too high on playing Gabe this year at the #4 (at best) WR spot. But I trust Rocco in his decision making process.

Nevermind. Just learned Ervin Garner is out for the first couple of games. Gabe will likely start.

Sprained knee. Out the first game, maybe the second.

That is nice to know and thanks for the update. Seems rather rare that we have had very few injuries to speak of. Compare that to U of D here in Delaware as they have 20 recordables. Either we are lucky or are doing a good job in the weight room to prevent them from happening.

way to go STEVEV- you had to say something

Some updates on the football team and the receiver position.

Flames’ wide receiver Ervin Garner sustained an MCL strain in his left knee Tuesday at practice and will be out for at least the next two weeks, but Flames coach Danny Rocco didn’t rule out Garner playing in the Sept. 4 opener against St. Francis, though it’s more likely Garner could return for the Sept. 11 game at Ball State.

Rocco said there was no ligament damage in the knee. Garner was wearing a protective knee brace during practice and had an ice bag on his knee afterward Wednesday.

In Garner’s place, Pat Kelly moves into a starting role in some packages, specifically three-receiver sets. Gabe Henderson, Greg Pratt and Kyle DeArmond will get reps in specialty situations, like when Liberty runs four receivers out on the field.
