Apples meet oranges.
The unis really helped against the Mountaineers today though didn't they!SuperJon wrote:The all red with the white helmet looked terrible in my opinion. We've worn three different combinations this year that just don't look like Liberty football to me. We seem to be worrying about being cats with our uniforms. Let's get back to being dogs and stop worrying about how we look or changing things up.Liberty is a 40 year old school that despite the past 4-5 recent years of success are still currently under .500 overall as a program and are 115-115 in FCS/I-AA... We don't really have a great football tradition. IMO, LU is trying to pull an Oregon on a MUCH smaller-scale. New jerseys and new uniform combinations show recruits that LU likes to spend a lot money on football and that we take football seriously. While I wish we went with blue helmets last night, I liked the all red look, and I can imagine recruits liking the look too.

BJWilliams wrote: Actually we are literally right at .500 (199-199-4)According to cfbdatawarehouse.com, we were 198-198-4 entering this year. After last night's game LU is 1-2 on the season so that would make us 199-200-4

Yes, I'm looking into uniforms a lot by saying that but it reflects the nature of the team now.I can see what you're getting at with that. I think the style started changing last year. Once Aldreakis left the team, LU didn't have a bruiser type back and started going more spread to compensate for the lack of a quality powerback. Also, the recruiting of guys like Gabe Henderson and Tracy Curry (Although he never played a down) showed me at least that Rocco wants to use the spread even after Mike Brown graduates. It's interesting to see how these next couple years will be in regards to the offense. I hope we'll be reloading instead of rebuilding...
