Louisiana vs Coastal Carolina Preview
Coastal Carolina has reeled off an 11-0 record this season but came awfully close to seeing it all slip away last weekend against Troy. The Trojans scored two quick touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take the lead, but the Chanticleers needed just 45 seconds to wrangle the lead back for good, 42-38.
“We found a way to get it done and that’s what championship teams do,” Coastal coach Jamey Chadwell said. “It wasn’t pretty and it looked like it was dire straits.
“Our quarterback looked like a freshman on the second to last drive. He didn’t look like a freshman on that last drive. Just an unbelievable way to end the football game.”
Coastal Carolina has been led by a steady run game that ranks No. 15 in the country with 223.2 yards per game. The Chanticleers are scoring 37.5 points per game, good for 20th in the country.
CJ Marable leads a stable of backs who can all get it done with 844 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. Quarterback Grayson McCall is second on the team with 473 yards and 6 touchdowns. On top of that, running backs Reese White and Shermari Jones have combined for 9 touchdowns and more than 800 yards.
Chadwell wasn’t exactly thrilled about play Troy last week in a rescheduled matchup that had no implications on the standings. His argument was that Louisiana, the West division champion, did not play, giving them a week off ahead of their title tilt.
“It’s definitely a competitive advantage for them. I don’t know how that makes sense for anybody, but I guess we’ll be on the bus this week going down there,” CCU head coach Jamey Chadwell said last week. “The championship game is a big deal, but that’s above my pay grade right now, so I can’t make decisions on that.”
Lousiana played a tough game their last time out against Application State, winning 24-21 and holding off a late rally from the Mountaineers. That included taking a pair of safeties late, one intentionally from their own 35 because of issues with the snaps on punts. It worked out, but sure was curious.
“I mean we could do that if you want,” Lousiana coach Billy Napier said. “But we felt like the best opportunity to win was to take a safety there and make sure we didn’t give up a bad play.”
Coastal Carolina is a 3-point favorite for the matchup, with the total set at 55 points.
