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 …

Why Georgia State Will Win

The Chanticleers are scuffling a bit.

They shocked Army 38-28 to open the season, but needed everything in the bag to get by Gardner-Webb and last week had to work too much to get by Buffalo. And what’s been the big problem?

Turnovers. The defense has forced nine over the last two games, but the six given away made life difficult.

Gardner-Webb threw at will, Buffalo was able to stay alive on the takeaways, and Georgia State needs all of that.

The Panther ground game has been fantastic, the big plays were there, and …

What’s Going To Happen

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.

Why Coastal Carolina Will Win

How is Coastal Carolina doing this? How has it turned into the darling of the Group of Five crowd?

QB Grayson McCall has been ultra-efficient – more on this in a moment – the team doesn’t make a whole lot of mistakes, and the offensive line has been wonderful.

The running game might have been stuffed by Georgia Southern last week, but the offensive balance is there to keep Georgia State on its heels, especially its shaky secondary. The Panthers might statistically have a good run defense, but that’s because everyone keeps bombing away – they’ve allowed close 1,000 passing yards over the last two games.

However …

Why Georgia State Will Win

How healthy is McCall? He’s questionable at best with what’s being called an upper body injury. He’s likely out, but his potential to play hasn’t been totally squashed.

Fred Payton is a decent veteran quarterback, but McCall is the star freshman who has been a catalyst for the Chanticleers to go from potentially good to outstanding.

Georgia State has the Sun Belt’s best pass rush and the league’s highest-scoring offense. The running game is consistently magnificent hitting 210 yards or more in every game, with an efficient enough passing attack to balance it out.

Coastal Carolina’s linebackers are strong, and the team has enough quickness up front to get be a bother, but the Panthers play with a good enough tempo to make this a shootout. So …

What’s Going To Happen

Can Payton keep up and take advantage of the Panther secondary that can get bombed on? He’s accurate enough and experienced enough to be just fine in the offense, but he doesn’t add the spark of McCall.

Georgia State’s offense is going to start scoring and keep scoring, but this is a tough Coastal Carolina team that will hold up against the run well enough to hold serve.

College GameDay is rolling into Atlanta, and the afternoon game will be worth it.
