What to know
BYU Cougars had a week off and are undoubtedly ready to return to the field. They will face Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at 5:30 pm ET on Saturday at Brooks Stadium. Both teams allowed few points on average (Cougars 13.89, Coastal Carolina 16.78), so any points scored will be well earned.
You can’t lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely BYU’s strategy against the North Alabama Lions two weeks ago. BYU easily won their home competition, winning a 66-14 victory over northern Alabama. The confrontation was practically decided in the middle, when the score had already reached 42-7. BYU’s success was driven by the efforts of QB Zach Wilson, who passed four TDs and 212 yards in 16 attempts, in addition to taking 33 yards on the ground, and LB Tyler Allgeier, who ran for two TDs and 141 yards in 13 loads.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 254 yards more than your opponent, as the Chanticleers did last week, a favorable result is almost certain to come. They were totally in charge, passing quickly through the Texas State Bobcats 49-14 on the road. With Coastal Carolina ahead 35-7 at halftime, the game was almost over. RB CJ Marable continued his habit of launching crazy statistics lines, running for three TDs and 157 yards on 16 loads. This agile footwork stands out as the first time Marable has hit the 100-yard racing mark this season. Marable’s sharp performance also set his single-game race touchdown on the rise for the season.
The Cougars are the favorites in this match, with an expected winning margin of 10 points. They have been consistent money earners against the spread when favored (5-1-1), so they can be worth a quick bet.
The victories led both teams to an identical 9-0. Some offensive numbers to keep in mind before the game starts: BYU is first in the country when it comes to general offensive touchdowns, with 56 in the season. Chanticleers are not so good, but neither are they idiots: they come into the game boasting the eighth most offensive touchdown in the country, with 46.
