Coastal Carolina knew its move to the Sun Belt Conference this season would come with increased travel, and no trip will be longer than this week’s jaunt to Moscow, Idaho.
It is the farthest road trip in the program’s history.
According to Google Maps, the distance from Conway to Moscow is 2,737 miles. Prior to this trip, Coastal’s furthest trip was 2,488 miles to Missoula, Mont.
Coastal won that 2013 NCAA FCS second-round contest 42-35 in minus-5 degrees with wind chills reaching minus-30, making it what is believed to be the coldest FCS playoff game ever.
