Key matchup
Coastal Carolina’s defense vs. Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Caleb Evans: The Chanticleers defense gave up more than 500 yards of offense and 52 points to Western Illinois last week, and now must find a way to stop ULM sophomore quarterback Caleb Evans, who is 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds. In last week’s 56-50 double overtime win over Louisiana-Lafayette, Evans completed 28 of 34 passes for 343 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 129 yards and tying a school record with five rushing touchdowns.
