Liberty also has some talented special teams players.

Bolden and Crawford are both among the nation’s best in kick returns. Bolden is averaging 17.5 yards on eight punt returns and 25.1 yards on seven kickoff returns. Crawford has only run back three kickoffs, but one of those went for a 76-yard touchdown.

The teams haven’t met since 2005 when YSU rolled up a 42-0 victory in Lynchburg, Va. when Tom Zetts tied a school record with four touchdown passes. The last time they played at Stambaugh Stadium was in 2004 when the Penguins pulled out a 27-17 victory.

The Penguins have won four straight in the series and hold a 6-2 advantage dating back to 1988.
