CONWAY, S.C. — Troy found another — almost cruel — way to lose a football game on Saturday.
Coastal Carolina, trailing by seven points and out of timeouts, went 71 yards in 11 plays and scored a touchdown on CJ Marable’s 3-yard run over left guard with 30 seconds to play.
The Chanticleers then won the game 36-35 with a two-point conversion when CJ Marable ran around left end to the end zone.
It was the Chanticleers’ second try for two. On the first, Troy was called for pass interference as harried quarterback Bryce Carpenter threw under pressure into traffic and Dell Pettus drew a flag.
