You could have had me at 359. Our defense seemed to play defeated from the 1st quarter on. Shocking actually.

And yes, that missed PAT did prove to be crucial.

There is no question that our inability to stop the run all season has been our Achilles Heel.

I told my wife a week ago that if Liberty made the playoffs, I would be at the game no matter what.

She laughed and said okay. She knew it wouldn't happen.

Here's the thing. If we don't have Jacob Hagen we lose by 3 scores and we probably lose at least the app at game as well. The rest of the defense is soft and wimberly is in over his head.

Kudos to Wimberly for getting the defense prepared. :roll: 576 yards, what a joke. Don't deserve to win with an effort like that. Masha played well for his first significant minutes; 36 points should have been enough. If we play like this against Coastal, they will put up at least 50. Don't blame Peterson or Lunsford, the blame should be placed solely on the defense for this loss.

This was a strange defensive game. 15-20 plays CS lined up with a double TE set and a FB in the backfield. We stayed in our 4 man front. That makes no sense. They got a 4-5 yard push off the ball on almost everyone of those plays. This one goes right down with Coastal and ODU in my book. This game isn't close if CS didn't insist on throwing the ball time after time. Gill didn't have his team ready to play this game. Mostly notably the defense. Liberty football for sure.

I've seen several people ask with no answers given. Does anyone know how Josh got hurt?

Front 7 just did not get it done...F for them tonight

Now we gotta go down to a very VERY good CCU squad (schedule notwithstanding) and do something we have done a total of once...we got a lot of soul searching to do this next 24 hours

And I wouldn't fire him (very knee jerk reaction) but definitely do some serious re-evaluation of how we do defense

All we know is it happened in practice WIC...coach is very tight lipped about the specifics

Speaking in hypotheticals, if by some miracle we beat Coastal at their place next Saturday, do we make the playoffs even though we would have the same won-loss record in conference, or does Kallander have some kind of funky tie-breaker that will eliminate us again?

Embarassing performance by our defense. We never really did stop their running game. 7.6 yards per carry, and that's taking off the yards for our sacks. Their 2 main RBs averaged over 10. Only way we got off the field was when their idiot QB threw the ball in Hagan's direction.

I know we have some Wimberly fans on here, but I have to say I don't think our defensive problems are primarily a question of talent.

Yeah, he threw 3 picks, and a couple of them cost us, but overall, I don't think you could have expected more from Masha. Do we win if we have a healthy Woodrum, probably, but this one is on the D.

The first tiebreaker is always head to head.

You can't put the first pick on Masha. That was all coumin. The other 2 were bad but he did plenty.

Playoffs start next week. We are in a position that we haven't been in before and that it controlling our fate going into the final game of the season. Hopefully, this turns into another Stony Brook game from a years back when we were heading into the game as underdogs. Hopefully, this game is the wake-up call (2nd wake up this year). BTW, where do we rank in the nation in yards given up on defense and time of possession on offense?

We will be FBS before we make the playoffs.

They could have easily scored on their last drive if they needed to. Missed PAT is inconsequential.

Curious as to Wimberly's excuse for this pathetic effort. Against Brevard, it was we didn't want to change up our defense or make it too complicated. What will it be this time? Maybe Woodrum being out threw the defense for a loop, haha.

When a team leader like Woodrum can't play, no one should be surprised by the result. I expected worse, actually. Hopefully, Woodrum is back in full strength, because we would hardly have the tiniest possibility of beating CCU without him.

I'm the biggest Wimbo fan you'll see and even I know we have to change something. I'm not saying we change him, but something in the scheme or the play calling needs to change.

Next week will be first to 60 wins.

Lang can confirm this but according to Justin Feldkamp (from WSET) on Twitter, Josh is expected to play next week (and start).

It comes down to one game...win and we are in, lose and...well you know what happens

Time to throw everything we havent put on film at this game and play like our lives depend on it.

Before last year, we had lost the last two times in our Big South finale when it was a road game.

Anyway...I'm upset but as LibertyRadioPxP posted on Twitter tonight...and while many will pick us to lose, I believe we can win because it comes down to one thing...
