Prior to the team’s departure on Friday to Florida for the 2022 RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, Liberty Interim Head Coach Josh Aldridge held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon from the Media Room of the Liberty Football Center.
During the weekly press event, Aldridge recapped the team’s activities since the New Mexico State regular-season finale, plus began previewing Liberty’s bowl game matchup against Toledo.
Seeking its fourth bowl game victory in as many seasons, Liberty (8-4) will face MAC champion Toledo (8-5, 5-3 MAC) in the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl.
The Flames will attempt to join Appalachian State as the only two teams to win a bowl game during each of their first four seasons of full bowl eligibility.
Liberty is 0-3 all-time against the Rockets. However, the Flames have won three straight matchups with MAC foes including a 56-20 triumph over Eastern Michigan in the 2021 LendingTree Bowl and a 21-12 home victory over Akron on Sept. 24.
Co-Defensive Coordinator Josh Aldridge is serving as interim head coach and will make his collegiate head coaching debut. Jamey Chadwell, who was hired as Liberty's 10th head football coach on Dec. 4, will make his Flames coaching debut in the 2023 season opener.
