South Carolina State (1-1) at No. 5 Coastal Carolina (2-0)When: 6 p.m. Saturday
Series Record: Coastal Carolina leads, 3-0
Last Meeting: Coastal Carolina won, 27-20, last year
Television: Big South Network
What to Know: This is a classic matchup of offense versus defense. Coastal puts up points (31 in each of its first two wins; 41-point average last season) while South Carolina State has kept eight of its last 13 sub-FBS opponents under 10 points.
With Alex Glover (four tackles for loss), Javon Hargraves (four quarterback hurries) and talented but slumping defensive end Andrew Carter, SCSU features a highly productive defensive line. The secondary has been picked on, and Coastal quarterback Alex Ross is capable of doing the same.
The Bulldogs, two wins shy of giving coach Buddy Pough the 100th of his 13-year career at his alma mater, thrashed Benedict in their season opener before taking on similar punishment at Clemson last Saturday. Their offense still needs consistency out of its quarterbacks, Adrian Kollock and TeDarrius Wiley. The run game is a strength with Dondre Lewis-Freeman, Jalen Simmons and Justin Taylor.
