3rd Quarter Report

A win for Coastal Carolina would push their record over .500, and after three quarters of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead Jacksonville State 48-13.

If Coastal Carolina keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, Jacksonville State will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).

Coastal Carolina strolled past Jacksonville State in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 by a score of 30-16.
