Oct. 16 @ VMI

The Keydets decided to do some major overhauling, scrapping the triple option offense that led teh nation in rushing and switching to a more pro-style game. VMI has not stayed within single digits of the Flames since a 10-7 win in 2005 (including getting destroyed 73-34 and 54-14 in their last two trips to Lynchburg. VMI has never beaten the Flames in Lexington ( the 2005 win is their only one in the series) and I dont expect this year to be any different. Flames 31-7

Oct. 30 @ Presbyterian (Since Swiss is dying to know so he can forward it to the PC coaching staff)

Flames fans remember the last trip to Clinton so Im not going to rehash that one, but LU has proven very good at exacting revenge and I expect justice to be served. Liberty has only lost 1 "payback game" (defines as a game the following year against an opponent who defeated them in the previous year), and many of the skill players on last years team were part of the 55-19 rout in Williams Stadium last year. Flames 41-0

Nov. 6 Gardner-Webb

This game is of personal significance because Nov 6 is my sister's 27th birthday. Gardner-Webb has been run out of town the last two meetings (including a 51-28 shellacking in Boiling Springs last year). The Runnin Bulldogs have a tendency to crawl into the finish and with a three game stretch: home vs Coastal, away @ Stony Brook AND LU, that isnt conducive to a strong finishing kick either. LU wins this one Flames 42-21

Well he obviously was just waiting with baited breath for me to post it...as I said...Liberty is very good at exacting payback. I didnt think we'd do like I picked for St Francis, but I do think that Coach Rocco is going to make sure those guys who werent on the team the last time they were in Clinton are well aware of it (the guys that were on the team that year wont need the extra motivation)
