  1. Using wp_enqueue_script() would be something like this;

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','load_scripts');
function load_scripts() {
  wp_enqueue_script( 'modernizr', get_template_directory_uri() .'/js/modernizr.custom-2.6.2.min.js', array('jquery'), '0.1', true );
}

    The last true of the function place the script call in the footer

    Use the wp_enqueue_script.

    “Once you have found the plugin or theme that is adding JavaScript in the header section, the next step is to find out where the plugin has a call for the file. In one of your theme or plugin’s PHP files you will see a call to that particular .js file.

    If the plugin or theme is already using enqueuing to add JavaScript file, then all you need to do is change wp_register_script function in your plugin or theme and add true for the $in_footer parameter. “
