Why Coastal Carolina Will Win
How did Coastal Carolina pull off the 12-7 win over the Jayhawks last year in Lawrence? It got more physical than the Power Five program.

It won’t be pretty, and it won’t be easy, but the Jayhawks will pull this out helped by a few takeaways it wasn’t able to generate last year.
