ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Top-ranked FCS division team Coastal Carolina played the part on Saturday night, looking every bit as good as advertised in a 41-14 win against S.C. State in front of 12,023 fans inside Oliver C. Dawson Bulldog Stadium.
Nearly everything the Chanticleers (2-0) did from the opening kickoff worked in their favor, spoiling the home opener for the Bulldogs (1-1), who have to make a quick turnaround to host Florida A&M this Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.
Coastal built a 32-0 lead by halftime, making themselves right at home from the start.
“We went out and got knocked around pretty good,” S.C. State head coach Buddy Pough said. “Coastal played very, very well and we didn’t.
“It was a tough first half and from there on out, we were in survival mode. They were what we expected. They were as good as last year, but it’s their execution that makes them different from a lot of teams.”
