Crouch And Fluellen Named Big South Players Of The Week

Noah Crouch and Rod Fluellen have become two of the first four football players honored by the Big South Conference this regular season as the two players were named Big South Special Teams and Freshman of the Week, respectfully, by the league Monday morning.

Both athletes played a significant part in the Flames’ season-opening 17-6 victory over Concord this past Saturday at William Stadium, helping Liberty to a win in 16 out of its last 20 home-opening contests.

Thanks, Rok.

It had to be special teams to be garnering any honors in that disappointing opener.

Very well deserved!!

I heard Crouch might have bruised some of his tendons, and may not play this week at UConn. I hope this isn't true, although Beasley had a good punt on Saturday so we wouldn't necessarily be in trouble-Crouch just is the more experienced punter.

[Chris Lang]

Crouch is fine. He'll play.

Noah does it again!

Crouch Repeats As Big South Player Of The Week

For the second time in the last three weeks, senior punter Noah Crouch has been named the Big South Special Teams Player of the Week, honoring his efforts against Youngstown State last Saturday.

Crouch (r-Sr., 6-0, 185, Madison Heights, Va.) finished the contest with five punts for a total of 210 yards, averaging 42.0 yards per punt. This marked the third-straight game and the 14th time in his career that Crouch has averaged over 40 yards per punt in a contest.

The senior also placed two of his five punts inside the Penguins’ 20 yard line, giving him 43 punts inside the opponents’ 20 yard line for his career.

Couch, who was also named the conference’s Special Teams Player of the Week after helping Liberty in its season-opening victory over Concord, currently leads the Big South Conference and ranks eighth in the nation as he is averaging 42.2 yards per punt.

Joining Crouch for the remainder of the weekly awards were Charleston Southern quarterback Collin Drafts, who was named Offensive Player of the Week, VMI linebacker Justin Huggard, who was named Defensive Player of the Week, and Charleston Southern wide receiver Markus Murry, who was named Special Teams Player of the Week.

Crouch and the Flames return to action this weekend when the face 16th-ranked William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Cary Field.

Great, I'd expect to see him get the honors again. (more than once if he keeps this up!)

[PAmedic]

one problem- and I'll admit I'm taking the pessamistic approach here- if we were winning he wouldn't be getting this much attention! oh well. Great job Noah!

[lufbfan3]

Granted, he'd be getting to punt a lot more if the ball wasn't getting turned over as much haha.
