On Tuesday night, I joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss Liberty’s first win of 2026 coming over Gardner-Webb while also looking ahead to Ball State on Saturday.

Our conversation centered around:

  • Are we in a show-me-state to believe the Flames are going to be locked in Saturday against Ball State?
  • Was Saturday’s performance against Gardner-Webb the culmination of Liberty Flames fan frustrations?
  • What was more disconcerting against Gardner-Webb: two lost QB fumbles or the defensive penalties?
  • What’s your confidence level in how the QB1 position is “for rent?”
  • Could Jamey Chadwell have overcome a loss to Gardner-Webb?
  • Is this statement true: “It’s not impossible for Jamey Chadwell to regain the confidence of the fan base but it is really hard.”
  • Will we know by the end of 2026 whether or not Jamey Chadwell is the guy for Liberty Flames football?
