The Fun Belt brings us this matchup where the road team has prevailed in all five meetings this season. Coastal Carolina is 3-0 as coach Jamey Chadwell continues to get the most of his team, led by quarterback Grayson McCall. Sure, the Chanticleers haven't played anyone of note so far, facing FCS school Gardner-Webb along with Buffalo and Army. Meanwhile, Georgia State is 0-3 with losses to Power Five programs South Carolina and North Carolina ahead of last week's 42-41 loss to Charlotte in a game they were favored by 20. The Panthers have major issues in special teams as they've had two punts blocked for touchdowns, a missed field goal and a missed extra point. In close games, those things can determine whether you win or lose. Last year, Georgia State won 42-40 in a game that McCall missed due to injury: when he played in this matchup in 2020, the Chanticleers won 51-0. Seeing how the Panthers have struggled to defend the pass this season (allowing 304 yards per game through the air), it's going to be a challenge to see them hang in here. Take Coastal Carolina to remain unbeaten on the season by prevailing here.
