On Tuesday night, I joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss Liberty’s win over Ball State this past Saturday while also looking ahead to #BeatCoastal on Thursday night. We also snuck in a little Liberty men’s hoops.

Our conversation centered around:

  • How does the season ending knee injury to Sean Register, Jr. impact the Liberty Flames men’s basketball season?
  • What are the key takeaways for Liberty’s first men’s basketball media availability?
  • Will I be taking any victory laps on predicting an impredictable Ball State game?
  • Which team is the true Liberty Flames team?
  • What correlation is there to a strong rushing attack + a balanced offensive approach = high functioning offense?
  • Is RB Terron Kellman the next Evan Dickens (from unknown to bell cow)?
  • What’s the correlation between more accountability for penalties in practice to the reduction of penalties in games?
  • Did Deshawn Purdie look as well as Flames coaches & fans expect (in 51-15 W over Ball State)? Can he repeat that at Coastal?
  • Does the Liberty-Coastal rivalry still hold the same meaning to Flames fans as it did in the Big South days?
