I brought my daughter and a friend to CFAW. Now I'm hanging out with my 7 year old for the next 48 hours until gametime. We can't wait.

Here is Chuck Burton's preview ...

Game Preview, Lehigh at Liberty, 9/22/2012

Two top-notch programs in FCS.

Two football programs that are on the map nationally.

That's what the matchup down in Lynchburg, Virginia promises this Saturday evening when the Flames host the Mountain Hawks.

It also happens to be a game of opposites.

Lehigh, at 3-0, hasn't always looked like the No. 13 team in the country, but has done what it takes to win. And 0-3 Liberty hasn't always looked like a winless team, but also hasn't gotten over the hump and made the one big play to get into the victory column this year.
And it even throws a bone to FlameFans support via a quote from Coen ...
"The biggest thing is how quick we catch up to the environment there," Coen said at the weekly press luncheon. "They have a very passionate fan base, a great student body there that is going to support their team, and for the first time we're going to have a real home-field advantage [for Liberty] that we're going to have to handle."

I'm surprised that you picked us to win as well.

FYI, the 5Dimes line has moved from Lehigh -6 to Lehigh -4. I can't imagine there's a lot of FCS bettors hitting this game to drive the line down. Has there been any news about a big injury to a Lehigh player? Two points is a big move in less than 24 hours. Of course, they likely don't have a lot of bets coming in on the game so it could fluctuate a lot more than normal FBS games.

I'll know pregame. Gill was supposed to make a decision yesterday. No media access on Friday, and I have high school football duties that night anyway.

On Tuesday afternoon, Liberty’s players milled about the donor room at the Williams Football Operations Center, waiting their turn to give interviews to the assembled media. The mood was light, which was interesting considering the hole the Flames find themselves in heading into tonight’s game with Lehigh at Williams Stadium.

Receivers Pat Kelly and Elliott Dutra spent time jokingly interviewing each other in front of a dormant television camera. Finally on camera, Dutra cheerily noted that the Flames are the best 0-3 team in the country.
