TROY, Ala. (WMBF) - No. 11 Coastal Carolina added on to a historic run on the gridiron Saturday, but no one call tell the Chanticleers that it came easy.
Even after last week’s thriller against BYU, the Chants needs a little late-game theatrics to cap off their first-ever perfect regular season.
“To be able to go 11-0 with this group of young men, it’s a credit to them and our coaching staff,” CCU head coach Jamey Chadwell said following the win. “To be able to focus in each week and overcome all the different things that you have to overcome and then be able to find a way this week, it’s just a special time.”

CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) - Even after last week’s historic home win over BYU, things aren’t slowing down for Coastal Carolina football.
Not by a long shot.
The No. 11 Chanticleers put their unbeaten record on the line at Troy on Saturday in a game that was postponed from mid-November. Since then, the Chants have locked up a spot in the Sun Belt Championship Game, moved on up in national polls and rankings; not to mention gaining national attention with “College GameDay” on campus.
