The 14th-ranked Coastal Carolina Chanticleers struggled to 2-6 records during conference play in each of their first three seasons as members of the Sun Belt, but began their turnaround by winning their final league game in 2019.

Featured Game | Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
Why Coastal Carolina can cover
The Chanticleers are riding a seven-game road winning streak after cruising to a 52-20 victory at Arkansas State on Oct. 7. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Grayson McCall threw for a career-high 365 yards and four touchdowns, all to Isaiah Likely. The senior became the first tight end in conference history with four TD catches in a game, with the first being a 99-yarder on Coastal Carolina’s second play from scrimmage.
That was the first of four long scoring plays for the Chanticleers, as McCall and Likely also hooked up for a 64-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Junior running back Reese White matched that with a 64-yard TD run early in the fourth and backup quarterback Bryce Carpenter capped the scoring with a 67-yarder. The Chanticleers have scored at least 49 points in five of their six games this season and eclipsed the 50-point mark in four of those contests, including each of the last three.
Why Appalachian State can cover
The Mountaineers also are capable of offensive outbursts, as they have scored at least 31 points in each of their four victories in 2021. Prior to last week’s 41-13 loss against Louisiana, Appalachian State enjoyed a three-game winning streak during which it outscored its opponents 120-56. Chase Brice is looking to redeem himself after throwing for a season-low 133 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns versus the Ragin’ Cajuns.
The senior recorded at least 283 passing yards in each of his previous three outings with five TD tosses and just one interception. The Mountaineers had been playing well defensively before the loss to Louisiana, allowing fewer than 30 points in 18 consecutive contests. Senior linebacker D’Marco Jackson leads the team with four sacks and is first in the Sun Belt Conference with an average of 9.5 tackles per game.
