Coastal Carolina vs Georgia Southern Preview
Coastal Carolina has had one of the most remarkable in-season turnarounds we have seen in 2025.
Over the first three weeks, the Chants looked completely dysfunctional, but have since won five of six to give themselves a chance in the Sun Belt East, where they sit one game behind James Madison (and host the Dukes in the final week of the regular season).
Samari Collier has helped spark this recent run after taking over under center due to a plethora of injuries at the position. The more mobile Collier actually started the season as the fourth-string signal caller.
With that said, I believe it's time to sell high on Coastal.
First off, let's take a look at its five FBS wins on the season:
- South Alabama (294-420, +3, 1-3)
- UL Monroe (378-315, +1, 1-4)
- App State (410-410, 0, 2-3)
- Marshall (410-432, +3, 1-3)
- Georgia State (444-423, +2, 2-5)
Not exactly a murderer's row with five teams that have a combined 14-31 record (31.1%). Additionally, Coastal has actually been out-gained in those five contests 2000-1936, but has benefited immensely from turnover luck and fourth-down variance. In those five victories, the Chants had a +9 turnover margin, while their opponents only converted 7 of 18 fourth-down attempts.
That's simply unsustainable, so don't be surprised if Georgia Southern gets a few bounces.
The Eagles do have a pathetic defense that doesn't do anything well. However, this Coastal offense still can't do much through the air, making this a much easier prep for a putrid run defense.
Coastal will still undoubtedly put some points on the board, but I trust Georgia Southern to match score for score, then some. The Chants really want to take away explosive plays, but that's not really applicable against the dink-and-dunk Eagles offensive attack led by quarterback JC French. The Eagles should also get whatever they want on the ground with OJ Arnold and company behind an offensive line that should control the line of scrimmage from start to finish.
It's also worth noting that Georgia Southern has played the more difficult schedule (with its only home loss coming by three points to first-place Southern Miss) and has two extra days to prepare for this matchup after playing on Thursday night last week.
Additionally, Coastal will be without its starting center and best linebacker.
Ultimately, I believe Coastal's recent run against a bunch of junk (with a lot of help) got this spread under a field goal in a game that I think should be sitting at around -3.5.
I'll take the better team at home laying 2.5.
Pick: Georgia Southern -3 or Better
