Chad and Jon begin the show with talking about the sting of defeat and how we react to it as Liberty fans. Of course, we also break down what went wrong in the game and the handful of plays that decided the outcome. Our biggest takeaways from the game and the offense’s inability to execute in crucial moments. Was the fan base too overconfident entering the game, what about the team? How will the team respond to the loss this week, especially against a really good UAB team? Did the fan base respond to the loss appropriately, especially on social media? Is it okay to criticize Coach Freeze following the game? Is the UAB game do or die for Liberty?

On this week’s KR22 men’s hoops update, Liberty star forward Kyle Rode talks about basketball practice starting this week, as well as the team’s annual softball clash between the coaches and the players where there was an offensive explosion.

Brendan discusses what it was like having a Saturday off from football, how he personally and the team will learn and grow from the tough loss to Syracuse, the problem the Orange defensive line presented for the Flames’ offensive line, trying to flush this loss and move on to UAB, playing Super Seniors, and how he has already graduated with two degrees.

The Liberty Line gives his prediction and play for this week’s game against UAB.
