Sept. 1, vs. Coastal Carolina (noon, SEC Network)
About the Chanticleers: Coach Joe Moglia, the 2015 FCS coach of the year, returns this fall after missing the 2017 season because of a medical issue. Coastal needs him. It finished 3-9 last year, and the defense gave up more than 34 points per game.
