South Carolina vs. Coastal Carolina: Preview, game notes and more

Saturday, September 1, 2018 | noon ET

All-time series: South Carolina leads, 1-0

Probably the first thing you should know about the Chants: They aren’t in FCS anymore. Last year was Coastal’s first in FBS as they joined the Sun Belt Conference and - as you might expect - struggled to a 3-9 finish. Part of it was the fact that they were stepping up in weight class, and part of it was because head coach Joe Moglia (the chairman and former president of TD Ameritrade. Yes, this is true) stepped aside for the season due to health issues; he was spelled by offensive coordinator Jamey Chadwell, who led Charleston Southern to back-to-back FCS playoff appearances.
