Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State Game Preview
Why Coastal Carolina Will Win
Where’s it all going wrong for Georgia State?
This is a veteran team that was supposed to be solid. Losing to South Carolina and North Carolina weren’t any big deal, but dropping the 42-41 home game to a struggling Charlotte squad was disastrous.
The Panthers are rolling up the yards, but they’re not playing a lick of defense, there hasn’t been a penalty they don’t seem to enjoy committing, and …
Time of possession. If you can’t control the clock, you can’t get by Coastal Carolina. Ask Army how that works.
Georgia State is holding the ball for just over 25 minutes per game. That equals death against a Coastal Carolina offense that rolls when it’s able to hit the third down conversions. However …

Coastal Carolina is just too efficient.
As rough as things have been over the 3-0 start, the Chanticleer run defense – even against Army – has been outstanding.
That’s good, but Grayson McCall and the passing game continue to be among the nation’s most effective, and the Panther secondary hasn’t appreciably improved since getting hit for over 400 yards and five touchdowns by Charlotte’s Chris Reynolds last week.
This is going to be a wild, fun game to get the college football weekend going.
