Richard Anthony isn&#8217;t even on Liberty&#8217;s official football roster. Spencer Landis is a fourth-string quarterback who hasn&#8217;t played a snap this season.

Yet those two became important players at practice this week, as the Flames prepared for tonight&#8217;s game against VMI &#8212; Liberty&#8217;s home finale &#8212; and the Keydets&#8217; triple-option offense.           ]]></description>

Virginia&#8217;s football practices this week were conducted in sweats, not because the temperature was low in Charlottesville, but rather to try to imitate the heat the Wahoos will face today in Miami.

GREENVILLE, N.C. &#8212; The Atlantic Coast Conference announced a revamped bowl lineup for 2010 on Thursday. The changes? The Gator and Emerald bowls are out and the Sun and Independence bowls are in.

The Sun Bowl, which is played in El Paso, Texas, will take the Gator&#8217;s place in the ACC pecking order. It&#8217;ll get the ACC championship game loser, if available, or the third pick out of the conference after BCS selections in a matchup with a Pac-10 school.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Danny Broggin was a state-championship winning quarterback at William Campbell High School in 2005, but once he took the final snap in the Generals&#8217; 18-0 win over J.I. Burton at James Madison&#8217;s Bridgeforth Stadium, he knew his time as a signal caller was done.

No one was recruiting the 6-foot Broggin as a quarterback, and the school who eventually offered him a scholarship &#8212; Liberty &#8212; had no plans of using him behind center.

When he arrived in the fall of 2006, though, Broggin had no idea what his role would be. It&#8217;s a theme that&#8217;s carried over throughout his Flames career.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Three weeks ago, Virginia Tech&#8217;s football team had so much to play for. It was still in the national title hunt and was the odds on favorite to win its third straight ACC championship.

After two losses and a precipitous fall in the rankings, the Hokies have had to dig deep for inspiration.

There&#8217;s still at least one major motivator on the line for the rest of the season.

&#8220;It&#8217;s definitely pride,&#8221; Hokies senior linebacker Cody Grimm said.           ]]></description>

There was a shot of Virginia&#8217;s linebacking corps, which included players like Ahmad Brooks and Darryl Blackstock. There was a shot of Boston College beating Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.

As the years went by, he replaced the art with photos of Liberty&#8217;s football accomplishments. There&#8217;s a shot of the Flames winning their first Big South crown on Gardner-Webb&#8217;s field.

BLACKSBURG &#8212; Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer wasn&#8217;t kidding earlier this week when he said North Carolina&#8217;s defensive front was better than any the Hokies had seen this season.

The Tar Heels&#8217; front seven caused all kinds of problems for Tech in the first half of Thursday night&#8217;s nationally televised game at Lane Stadium.            ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG &#8212; Ryan Williams heard the excitement from his dorm room. That&#8217;s where he was almost a year ago to the day when Virginia Tech running back Darren Evans broke the school single-game rushing record with 253 yards in the Hokies&#8217; 23-13 Thursday night win over Maryland.

Lane Stadium was just a short walk away, but Williams, who was redshirting at the time, chose to watch the game on television instead. He didn&#8217;t have to pay too close attention to the TV screen. He could tell what was going on with each roar of the crowd. 

&#8220;It was crazy loud,&#8221; said Williams, who has filled in nicely for the injured Evans as the 14th-ranked Hokies&#8217; starting tailback.           ]]></description>

It&#8217;s plastered all over the walls on sheets of white copy paper, accompanied by Charleston Southern logos. The point is to remind Liberty&#8217;s players that they essentially hold the key to the rest of their season. The Flames have been the dominant team in the Big South since 2006, winning 12 straight league games.

Liberty has outscored today&#8217;s opponent, Charleston Southern, 72-0 in the last three halves between the two teams and 92-10 overall.           ]]></description>

Then he looks down the list of offensive and defensive skill players and reminds himself just how young this particular Liberty team is.

Among the top three rushers, two are sophomores and one is a freshman. Six of the top seven receivers are either freshmen or sophomores. And though he&#8217;s a senior, the starting quarterback didn&#8217;t arrive on campus until August, so he&#8217;s a relative newcomer.           ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG &#8211; So much for preseason rankings.

In July, Boston College was picked to finish sixth in the ACC&#8217;s six-team Atlantic Division. It appears its demise was strongly miscalculated. 

The Eagles (4-1, 2-1 ACC) &#8212; No. 5 Virginia Tech&#8217;s opponent Saturday at Lane Stadium &#8212; are in second place of their division, thanks to recent wins against Florida State, an overwhelming favorite to win the Atlantic in the preseason, and Wake Forest, another top contender.            ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG &#8212; It took a video game for Eddie Whitley to realize there was a rivalry between Virginia Tech and Miami. Of course, that was before he played in one of the real-life contests.

The sophomore Hokies defensive back gets it now.

&#8220;I didn&#8217;t even know it was a rivalry until I was playing video games, NCAA Football, and it came up when I was in high school. &#8230; Now we&#8217;re both at the top, so it&#8217;s going to be a heated battle,&#8221; said Whitley, who grew up following the Tobacco Road battles in North Carolina.

Tech and Miami established a bitter rivalry as mutual members of the Big East from 1992-2003, and it has carried over into the Atlantic Coast Conference.           ]]></description>

During most days at practice, Liberty University&#8217;s kickers, punters and long snapper gather together on one sideline, doing all sorts of things that don&#8217;t exactly look like they belong at a football practice.

Take Wednesday for instance. One by one, Mike Larsson, Matt Bevins, Ben Shipps, Paul Young and Robby Cramer all took off down the sideline, jumping as high in the air as possible on one leg before coming down and doing it again with the other. It looked more like practice for a dance troupe than a football team.           ]]></description>
