Coastal Carolina's defense set the tone early, with MJ Morris throwing interceptions in both the first and second quarters. Despite the turnovers, Morris connected with Robby Washington on a 42-yard completion in the second quarter. Dominic Knicely was the game's leading rusher with 92 yards, including a 52-yard run in the third quarter that set up a first down at Charleston Southern's 17-yard line.
