What is a Chanticleer? A Chanticleer (SHON-ti-cleer) gives Coastal Carolina University one of the most unique nicknames in all of sports. Chanticleer comes from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and came to the University when it was a member of the University of South Carolina system. A Chanticleer is a rooster who rules the barnyard with cunning and wit. His competitiveness never wanes as he battles to the end, using his brains to come out on top every time.

2009 COASTAL CAROLINA FOOTBALL Media Guide
FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDELINES The 2009 Coastal Carolina University football media guide is designed to assist the media with its coverage of Coastal Carolina football. Additional information, statistics and photographs may be acquired by contacting John A. Martin in the Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations Office, 132 Chanticleer Drive West, Room 118, Conway, SC, 29526. Press Credentials Requests for working press space must be made in writing at least one week before the date of the home contest to the Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations Office. The request should be made in writing via e-mail by the sports director of the newspaper, magazine, radio or television outlet wishing to send reporter(s) and/or photographer(s) to the game. Confirmation of the request will be made by Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations personnel. Press credentials WILL NOT be issued to spouses, friends or children, in accordance with the working code of the College Sports Information Directors of America and the Football Writers Association of America. The press box is a working area and cheering will be grounds for removal.
Entering BROOKS Stadium Press credentials can be picked up in the Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations Office on or after Wednesday during the week of a home contest. If credentials are requested and approved, they will only be mailed if the request is granted at least two weeks prior to game. Any credentials not picked up will be left at the Will Call window at the north end of the stadium. Radio Coastal Carolina football can be heard live on 93.9 FM, “The Team” and the rest of the Chanticleer Sports Network and on the Internet at www.GoCCUsports.com. Visiting Radio Visiting radio stations have a separate booth on the south end of the HTC Communications Press Level (fourth floor) of Brooks Stadium. Visitors receive one reciprocal phone line for their game broadcasts. Should more lines be needed, please contact John Martin for arrangements.
Photographers Photographers are issued similar credentials to press box media. Photographers are allowed to shoot from outside the 25-yard line on each side of the field and outside the dotted line surrounding the field. Due to HIPAA regulations, we ask all photographers, both television and print, not to photograph any injury evaluations done in the bench/sidelines area. Additionally, per the credential policy, there is no reselling of game photos taken by media members without the express written agreement from Coastal Carolina University.
Media Information The Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations staff will provide game programs, flip cards, game notes and updated cumulative statistics for both teams to credentialed media prior to all games. Statistical summaries, play-by-play sheets and updated scores from around the country will be distributed throughout the game and will be available at the conclusion of the contest. Media members will be provided with a pre-game meal at least an hour prior to the game, while water and soft drinks will be available throughout the game.
PARKING Media parking is located in the Black Lots on Chanticleer Drive West in the lots surrounding the Athletic Administration Building. Season media members will be issued season parking passes. Single-game parking passes should be requested with media passes and will need to be requested at least a week in advance to allow arrival prior to the game. If a single-game press pass is left at the Will Call window, or if a member of the media does not have a season press pass, parking arrangements are the responsibility of the media member. There is no “Will Call” list for parking for credentials requested less than a week in advance.
Interview Policy (Game Day) Coastal Carolina’s post-game interviews will be conducted on the field in the northwest corner of Brooks Stadium. Both head coaches will be available to the media after the NCAA-mandated 10-minute cooling-off period. The Coastal Carolina locker room is closed to the media, so please see a member of the athletic media relations/sports information staff from either Coastal Carolina or the visiting institution about post-game player interview requests. TELEPHONE/INTERNET ACCESS If media are in need of a phone line for the game or season, please inform John Martin at time of credential request of those needs. For those media that can file over the World Wide Web with laptop computers that can automatically select an IP address, there are hardwire Internet connections as well as wireless access available in the HTC Communications press box. Interview Policy (Mid-Week) Head Coach David Bennett is available to speak to the media via phone MondayThursday mornings. Presented by Chick-Fil-A of Carolina Forest, Coach Bennett’s weekly media luncheons will be held Wednesdays at noon in the Hospitality Room at Brooks Stadium and streamed live on GoCCUsports.com. Individual players are available for interviews Monday-Wednesday. All player and coach interviews must be cleared through the Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations Office at least 24 hours in advance. This policy allows us to arrange a time that will not interfere with a student-athlete’s academic schedule, which has top priority. One note to the media: Home phone numbers for players and coaches WILL NOT be given out by the Coastal Carolina Athletic Media Relations Office. Press Box Phone Numbers 843-234-3404 / 843-234-3405

2009 SeASON OUTLOOK The 2009 Coastal Carolina University football squad looks to the season with a renewed energy and focus on doing things to help the program get back to its winning ways. The Chanticleers had great success in their first four years, posting winning seasons, capturing three Big South Conference crowns and making the league’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. However, the Chanticleers have been around the .500 mark in each of the last two, a place Head Coach David Bennett does not want to be this year. “I don’t think anybody likes being average, and we’ve been very average the last two years,” Bennett said. “Hopefully we can not be average this year. One of the things we missed was a guy that went in the second round to the Cincinnati Bengals (Jerome Simpson), but we just didn’t get it done as a team. We’ll see this year who is going to step up and get the job done.” Every phase of the game is essential in moving the Chants back up the ranks of not only the Big South but also nationally. Bennett has instilled that in the “One Team” philosophy for the year, as all phases need to work together and improve for Coastal Carolina to get back the success it experienced early on. And Bennett knows it is going to take not just one but all areas getting better from last year to get that done. “Every area of the game has to be better this year, without question,” Bennett said. “There are several keys for us. Last year we scored 24 points a game, but we gave up 24 points in a game, and we can’t do that. We can’t give up 24 points and be a good football team. I don’t care what level you play in, from the pros to the little league ranks. “And then offensively we’ve got to score more points than 24,” Bennett continued. “The last time we had a really good football team, we had a guy who was the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs last year, Tyler Thigpen. So I think there are keys for our offense. Our offensive line has to play better, our quarterback has to get a little better, and our wide receivers have to get a little better and make some big plays. If we do that, we have a chance to be successful.” With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 2009 Chanticleers position-byposition. Quarterbacks Junior Quarterback The Chanticleers return last year’s Zach MacDowall starter and last year’s projected starter to battle it out for the job this year. Redshirt junior Zach MacDowall made the most of his opportunity and earned the starting job last fall but missed the spring with an injury. Redshirt sophomore Jamie Childers looks to recapture the form he had heading into last fall before illness knocked him out for all of the preseason practices and weakened him for the year. Redshirt freshman Chris Pressley also took a portion of the snaps with MacDowall out, though he also worked at wide recevier. But there will definitely be competition for the starting job in August. “We tried to find the positive with Zach MacDowall being out this spring with his injury,” Bennett said. “Childers got a lot of reps and needed them. We’re certainly hoping and praying that he’s going to get back to 100 percent after last fall’s illness because he’s not quite there yet. But he had a better spring. MacDowall is doing well on his recovery and will be ready in the fall. He would be the first to tell you that he had a pretty good season but it wasn’t conference

changing to where he was hands down the All-Conference quarterback, so he knows he has to get better. Pressley worked a lot at both quarterback and wide out and was very impressive early when he went to wide receiver. I can’t have a guy that talented sitting over on the bench, so we may have to find a way to get him on the field and get the ball in his hands.” Running Backs The ground attack will be a key again for Coastal Carolina this year, as establishing the running game is going to have a renewed emphasis this year under new Offensive Coordinator Kevin Brown. Leading the charge will be junior Eric O’Neal, who has shown he has the ability to take the ball on the handoff or off a pass in the flat. Freshman Jeremy Height showed speed and moves in the spring drills, while fullbacks Tommy Fraser, who returns Senior Running Back Tommy Fraser from injury last year, and Racheed Gause can lead the way as well as take the ball on their own. Throw in several freshman who could see time and the run could again make an impact for the Chants. “Some people would say O’Neal being a junior should be the top guy there and he will start the fall that way,” Bennett stated. “But you have to stay healthy, be fit and stay in shape to stay in there. If you get in there and you look tired, we’re going to put someone fresh in there. That’s where guys like Height, Fraser, Gause, Travis Small and several others will have to step up when called. We believe they can all do the job and saw several of them demonstrate that this past spring. We’re excited about the depth we have at running back.” Wide Receivers The wide receiver corps is one that will have to work to find the big-play ability that was evident in previous teams and lacking from last year’s squad. After losing Simpson to graduation and the 2007 NFL Draft, the group is still looking for someone to make plays on a consistent basis. Redshirt juniors Marquel Willis and Brandon Whitley continue to develop and become more well-rounded. Sophomores Keith Graham and Kenny Jones both have speed on their side, with Graham, also a long jumper at Coastal Carolina, having the ability to go aerial for the ball. And several others have a chance to get in the mix if they can show Bennett the ability to make plays in the clutch in the passing game. “Our wide receivers have to get a little better for us,” Bennett said. “We struggled with consistency and having a ‘go-to’ receiver every game, as well as someone to make that big play for us. We have several players who can fill either role, but we need them to show us on the field they can do that every practice and every game.” Offensive Line The war in the trenches is the key to success for all football teams and the Chanticleers are no different. Though the Senior Offensive Lineman team returns four starters, it must also deal Ryan Boehm with the loss of two-time All-Big South
2009 COASTAL CAROLINA FOOTBALL Media Guide
2009 SeASON OUTLOOK lineman Britt Leggett. Senior Ryan Boehm looks to lead the group, as he spent his first two years at center and shifted during his junior year to guard to help fill a void. That versatility could be needed as the season moves on. Juniors James Sims, Seth Smalls and Matt Manning all got starting experience last year, while redshirt sophomores Alex Wolfe and David Nixon saw plenty of action as well. Mix in veteran tight end Ben Collins, junior transfer David Duran and freshman Will Middleton, and how well that group comes together in the fall will impact the effectiveness of the offense. “We are still young overall on the offensive line but getting better,” Bennett said. “We need to mature and get better as a unit for the line to really reach its potential, but we have that opportunity and ability. “Then at tight end, we will be better,” Bennett commented. “Last year, we would go into some games without a tight end in the game plan at all. I don’t think you can do that, as that’s not the type of football we like to play. So we were kind of handicapped, but that is different this year. Collins is more experienced after last year, plus the addition of Duran and Middleton, two guys that happen to be from the same high school, will give us depth we didn’t have last year. Duran is a transfer from Michigan State, and I want him to get to 270 to be the blocking tight end. He’d like to be used in the plan so we’re excited about those guys and actually having some depth at that position entering the year.” Defensive line The defensive line is looking to re-establish itself this year and control the impact point of the game. On the interior, there are several returners who grew from their play last year. Redshirt junior Robert Balkunas and redshirt sophomores Brooks Barbaree, Dexter Holman and Chad McField are all looking to build on last year’s game experience. Add several newcomers and the Chants are looking deeper this year, which Bennett hopes will translate to more stops for low yardage. “With our defensive line, we lost some guys there but the returners have some playing experience under their belt,” Bennett said. “Looking at the inside guys, Holman and Balkunas both had a very Senior Defensive End good spring. Bringing in young guys like Phillip Oboh Matt Johnson and Donnie Owens should hopefully add depth for us right away. They’re going to be young, and they’re going to get their nose bloodied but that’s okay. They will grow from it and get better and contribute more with each game that passes.” The ends could be a very dynamic group this season, with a blend of experience and youth. First Team All-Big South end Phillip Oboh returns for his senior season and looks to continue to wreak havoc on offenses with tackles for loss. Redshirt sophomores B.J. Jenkins and Corey Hawkins also saw playing
time in their first year on the field for Coastal Carolina, while several freshmen, including redshirt freshman Quinton Davis, look to crack the lineup. “We’ve got some depth out there at end,” Bennett stated. “Oboh will hopefully have his best season as a senior. He can make impact plays and we look for him to lead this group as well as being a leader for the defense.” Linebackers Linebackers have been a strength for Coastal Carolina since the program’s Junior Linebacker inception, and this year will follow the Derrick Frasier trend. The Chants return three stalwarts from last year’s group in juniors Derrick Frasier and Chris Walls and redshirt-sophomore Desmond Steward. All three saw action in every game, with Frasier and Walls starting 23 of a possible 24 games combined. Add to that redshirt-junior E.J. Brown’s experience and the growth in practice of redshirt-freshmen Andrae Jacobs and Jamel Davis, just to name a few, and the linebackers could be a very dynamic position. “We probably have more depth than we’ve had in the linebackers positions ever,” the seventh-year leader commented. “At inside linebacker, Frasier, who missed spring with a shoulder injury, should be very healthy and ready to play. Steward also can get after it and hopefully will do a great job for us inside. And Jacobs is a young guy that we are very excited about because he’ll hit you. He is a run filler and working to improve his pass coverage so he will see action as well. “On the outside, Walls should do some great things out there for us,” Bennett said. “Brian Harrison has some experience and Jamel Davis and Quinton Davis give us more depth at linebacker than we’ve had. Those last two were able to redshirt last year and that has helped their development. Quinton also has the ability put his hand on the ground and rush the passer. So we’re excited about that.” Defensive Backs Due to injuries, last year’s defensive backfield had youth and some inexperience in it, especially at the cornerback position. Now sophomores, Marcus Lott and Josh Norman were forced into duty and made strides as the year moved along. That growth and development is a positive heading into this year as the group has learned from its experience and will be better this season, according to Bennett. “We were really young at corner last year with true freshmen Marcus Lott and Josh Norman playing as corners,” Bennett stated. “I wouldn’t trade those two we have for anybody. Lott does an outstanding job and Norman has also shown he is a good player and a good person. So what you’ve got is a 6’2” and a 6’1” corner out of the state of South Carolina for the next three years. That

2009 SeASON OUTLOOK is something we haven’t had before with that kind of size on the outside.Tre Henderson is also a young man we redshirted at corner to develop him and then junior transfer Tarvorris Jolly will battle those two for a starting spot. And competition is a great motivator.” The safety slots are the most veteran of the squad, with a redshirt senior and three juniors leading the way. Brandon Autry has played all three of his seasons in Conway and will once again be in the defensive backfield. Junior Dominique Davenport, who set a school record for tackles in a game last year with 20, returns after an elbow injury during the year. He received a medical hardship and will have two more years with the program. Juniors Keon Cunningham and Brian Sanders both got quality playing time with Davenport out, so there is strength in numbers at the safety position. “We missed Dominique Davenport and are glad he’s back, as he is a big leader for us,” Bennett commented. “He does a great job and leads on the field, in the classroom, in the weight room and in the community. Wherever he goes, he is a leader and great example of the program. Autry is a quality young man who has grown over the years and we hope has a great senior season. Keon Cunningham and Brian Sanders both grew last year with their play, so we should have more depth in the secondary than we have in the past.” Special Teams Special teams have proven to be a difference maker in several of the big Senior Defensive Back games in Coastal Carolina history. This year’s Brandon Autry group has two years experience under their collective belts as the four key slots are all entering their junior years. First Team All-Big South punter Ben Erdman leads the group, as he improved his punting average last season from his freshman year and looks to continue that growth. Kicker Justin Durham has continued to work on his accuracy, while snappers Danny Bonifas and Jamie Perkinson have developed better consistency on field goals and punts, respectively. While nothing is set in stone as all spots are open for competition, the biggest question marks for Bennett is who will handle the kickoff and return duties, as several newcomers look to find their way on the field. “The specialists should finally have some depth there,” Bennett said. “We have Erdman punting, who will be a junior and wants to prove he can again be All-Conference. Durham is back at kicker and then Bonifas and Perkinson will snap. So we have some experience there and hopefully will show some maturity on the field in their execution. But as always, whoever is best at kicking off will kick off. The same will occur with punting, short field goals and long field goals, as have to put our best group out there. We’re all about being a team. “The return game is very very important,” Bennett continued. “At the end of the year, we were just trying to have someone catch the ball. So you need somebody first of all that can catch the ball and return the ball. That adds all kinds of excitement in field position, which is very important again - like playing chess or checkers. We don’t want to always start back on the 20 or backed up deep in our own end. We like to start some drives across the 50. On the other end of that, we want to keep the other team pinned back, so the special teams is something we want to improve this year as it plays a very important role of the game.”

The Schedule Last year’s schedule featured the Chanticleers’ first-ever Football Bowl Subdivision opponent when the team played at Penn State. This year is another first, with two FBS games on the slate, opening at Kent State and then playing on Halloween in Death Valley against Clemson. These are two games that Bennett knows are uphill battles. “We’re excited about the chance to open at Kent State, a Mid-American Conference school that people have a lot of respect for,” Bennett said. “Every year, there’s a team from the MAC beating somebody from the ACC, SEC or Big Ten. Those schools have to be careful scheduling MAC schools because anyone in that MAC can beat anybody on any given day. So we know we’ll play a very wellcoached football team that has 85 scholarships and will give us good exposure on September 3rd. “Then you add Clemson to the schedule playing in Death Valley and that is going to be like going into a gun fight with a knife,” Bennett continued, “They’ve had talent the last three years to win the ACC. I have looked at their depth chart and their third team defensive line would be mighty good players here. So they have done a great job recruiting some great student-athletes. With the staff Dabo Swinney has established, with people like Dan Brooks, Kevin Steele and Charles Harbison just to name a few, it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t win the ACC this year.“ But the focus is again winning Football Championship Subdivision games, battling for a Big South title and trying to earn a spot in the Division I Football Championship playoffs. The non-conference schedule includes rematches with Towson, Monmouth and North Carolina A&T, with the daunting Big South slate mixed in for good measure. After last year’s disappointments, Bennett knows that the team has to step up and fight its way back to the top of an ever-improving league, led by two-time defending champion Liberty. “We have a good FCS schedule, playing Monmouth and A&T again,” Bennett said. “They’ll play us harder because we beat them last year. The heading to Towson as well will be difficult. Towson was one of the best looking teams I saw all year, and that was a close ball game until the third quarter last year with them. “Then there is the battle for the Big South,” Bennett concluded. “There is Liberty, who’s done a great job in growing that program. That department has done a great job of getting their students to the games and letting their students have fun and get excited. When we come out there for the kick-off and they’re all behind your bench and they’re hollering and cheering, I thought I was at James Madison all over again. So I give Liberty credit, as they have done an outstanding job and that’s what we all need to do. And the rest of the league has gotten better as it is truly a league you have to be ready to play every week. For us, we need to do an outstanding job of promoting our five home games, getting our students excited and into the game.

HEAD COACH DAVID BENNETT P re s by te ri a n ’84 - E i g ht h Ye a r at C o a s t a l C a ro l i n a 108-40 i n 13 S e a s o ns a s a H e a d C o a c h O ve ra ll 45-23 i n S i x S e a s o ns at C o a s t a l C a ro l i n a David Bennett is starting his eighth season as the head football coach at Coastal Carolina University, his seventh as the onfield leader. With the Chanticleers, he has amassed a 45-23 record, including 16-9 (.640) in the Big South Conference. In 2007, Bennett recorded his 100th career coaching victory in a 4235 Big South win over visiting VMI at Coastal Carolina’s Homecoming. The highlights continued following the season, as wide receiver Jerome Simpson became the second league player ever taken in the National Football League draft, as he was a second round selection of the Cincinnati Bengals. In addition, fullback Mike Tolbert was signed as a free agent by the San Diego Chargers, putting four Coastal Carolina alums in 2008 NFL training camps. The 2006 season was a historic one for Bennett’s young Coastal Carolina program, as the squad became the third fastest in history to reach the Division I Football Championships in just its fourth season. After winning their third straight Big South Conference title with a 4-0 mark, the team finished with a 9-2 regular season record, including non-conference wins over No. 3 Furman and at Wofford. That earned Coastal Carolina a matchup with eventual national champion Appalachian State, where the Chants scored more points on the host Mountaineers than any other team during the 2006 season in the playoffs. For his efforts, Bennett was named National Football Championship Subdivision Coach of the Year by Sportexe. Coastal Carolina had numerous conference and national honors among the 2006 players, including the Big South’s first-ever NFL draft pick as All-American quarterback Tyler Thigpen was selected in the seventh round by the Minnesota Vikings and eventually spent the season on the Kansas City Chiefs’ active roster. Thigpen was also seventh in the voting for the Walter Payton Award as the nation’s top player, the first player from the league ever to make the ballot. Also joining Thigpen in earning All-American honors from various organizations were defensive back Quinton Teal, offensive lineman Brad Poston and wide receiver Jerome Simpson. Teal also joined Thigpen in the NFL, as he was signed by the Carolina Panthers as a free agent and made the team’s roster for the season. Within the Big South, 12 players earned 48
All-Conference accolades, while kicker Josh Hoke earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team honors as presented by CoSIDA for the second consecutive year. In 2005, the Chanticleers posted a 9-2 mark overall, including a win over defending national champion James Madison, and a 3-1 record in the Big South to earn Big South Co-Champions. Coastal Carolina had 13 players earn All-Conference accolades, as well as having Hoke earn ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America First Team honors, the first Coastal Carolina football player to achieve that honor. During the historic Coach David Bennett (center) at the signing of his 102004 season, Bennett Head year contract with then Board of Trustees chairman Charles had 14 players earn All- Hodge (left) and Athletics Director Warren Koegel (standBig South Conference ing) looking on as then President Ronald Ingle signs for the University. accolades, including Offensive Player of the Year Patrick Hall and Freshman of the Year Jerome Simpson. Bennett also earned the Big South’s Coach of the Year honor and was named American Football Coaches’ Association Region 2 Coach of the Year for the first time at the I-AA level and fourth time in his career. He was also honored for his efforts by the All-American Football Foundation with the Johnny Vaught Outstanding Head Coach Award. Bennett serves on the AFCA All-American Selection Committee and chairs the AFCA Meeting Room Committee. Prior to the 2006 season, he was selected for the NCAA’s I-AA Football Head Coaches Steering Committee. He also serves in the local community on the Board of Directors of the United Way and the Jackson Center for Values and Ethics. Additionally, he is the honorary chairman for the local March of Dimes Walk America. Bennett, born in Greer, S.C., came to Coastal Carolina after serving seven years as the Head Coach at Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C. In seven years as the head coach at Catawba, Bennett posted an overall record of 63-17, leading the Indians to three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs, including a run into the national semifinal round in 2001. Bennett, 47, joined the Catawba staff in 1990 as an assistant coach and was promoted to head coach on November 14, 1994. In his first season, he led the Indians to a 7-3 record, earning both South Atlantic Conference and AFCA Coach of the Year honors. The 1996 Indians’ squad posted a 9-2 record and captured the SAC Championship.

HEAD COACH DAVID BENNETT The 1997 and 1998 teams posted records of 8-3 and 6-4, respectively, before Coach Bennett’s program made its assault on the NCAA Division II national football scene. The 1999 season saw Catawba post an 11-2 record and earn the first of three NCAA Division II playoff berths. An 11-1 record and another SAC Championship came in 2000, but the best was yet to come. In 2001, Catawba went 11-2 to give Bennett a 33-5 record over the past three seasons. The Indians won the SAC Championship and the South Region Championship before falling to Grand Valley State in the national semifinals. In addition to the incredible seven-year record as a head coach, Bennett earned four SAC Coach of the Year honors and three AFCA South Region Coach of the Year honors during his career with the Indians. Raised in Cheraw, S.C., Bennett earned 10 varsity letters at Cheraw High School, where he was named All-Conference in football, basketball, tennis and track.

He earned the Unsung Hero Award from his teammates for his play during the 1983 season. He also began his coaching career at Presbyterian, working with the wide receivers as a student assistant. Bennett earned his master’s degree in guidance and counseling from Clemson University in 1986, where he worked with the running backs on the Tigers’ 1986 Atlantic Coast Conference Championship squad. While at Clemson, he coached in the Independence and Gator Bowls. In 1987, he served as the offensive coordinator at Goose Creek High School, a AAAA program in Charleston, S.C.. The Gators boasted the top rushing offense in the state that season. Bennett then coached at Newberry College before accepting the position at Catawba. He and his wife Melanie have a daughter, Hayes (16) and a son, Jeb (13).

Coastal Carolina University Mission Statement
Original approved by the Coastal Carolina University Board of Trustees on April 18, 1997 Update adopted by the Coastal Carolina University Board of Trustees on December 14, 2007
Coastal Carolina University is a public comprehensive liberal arts institution that seeks to develop students who are both knowledgeable in their chosen fields and prepared to be productive, responsible, healthy citizens with a global perspective. To deliver on this commitment, Coastal Carolina recruits highly qualified and motivated students, faculty, and staff from the region, state, nation, and world to create a diverse and dynamic student-centered learning environment. Because Coastal Carolina embraces the teacher-scholar model, it places primary emphasis on high quality teaching and engaged learning, and it supports faculty research, creative activities, and expert collaboration in the community, state, nation, and world. This focus enables faculty and staff to mentor students in collaborative research, creative opportunities, and internships. To nurture this active learning community, Coastal Carolina maintains a broad range of contemporary technologies, programming, support services, and innovative course offerings and delivery methods. The result is alumni who are well prepared for professional careers or graduate programs in their chosen fields and who continue to be connected to Coastal Carolina. Inspired by its founding in 1954 to serve the educational needs of the immediate area, Coastal Carolina has grown with the region to become a mid-sized regional comprehensive university with a tradition of a strong liberal arts core. As such, Coastal Carolina commits its resources to maintaining a population of 8,000 – 12,000 students by building baccalaureate and selective master’s programs of national and/or regional significance in the arts and sciences, business, humanities, education, and health and human services. Coastal Carolina fully embraces its leadership role as a regional center of economic and intellectual resources, lifelong learning, cultural and recreational opportunities, and athletic programs. As Coastal Carolina executes this mission, it recognizes its responsibility to be a role model to the community and to the professions by assuring fair and honest treatment of people with whom it interacts and sustainable stewardship of resources entrusted to it, adopting the highest standards of integrity and accountability, and committing itself to excellence through continuous self-improvement.

CONWAY/MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.
The City of Myrtle Beach is in the center of the Grand Strand, a 60-mile crescent of beach on the South Carolina coast. In the last 25 years, Myrtle Beach has developed into the premier resort destination on the East Coast. Our 25,000 permanent residents welcome millions of visitors each year to this full-service resort community. Guests come to enjoy the wide beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, and an incredible range of activities and entertainment. Myrtle Beach was incorporated as a town in 1938 and became a city in 1957. Its name comes from the wax myrtle, a shrub that grows abundantly in the area. History records that a party of Spaniards from Hispaniola landed about 50 miles north of present-day Myrtle Beach in 1526 and eventually established the first European settlement in the U.S. about 30 miles to the south. The settlement, San Miguel de Cauldape, was abandoned
the following year, though, and the group returned to Hispaniola. In the next three centuries, the region’s population slowly grew. Landowners gradually developed large plantations in the area, with rice as the principal crop. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, people began to “vacation” here, although it was quite rustic. Houses and camps were sparse, and there were few permanent residents at the turn of the century. But, drawn by the ocean, sand and trees, people began to call Myrtle Beach “home” as the 1900s progressed. Today, Myrtle Beach is a well known destination for vacationers from around the country, Canada and abroad. According to the 2000 Census, the city is at the center of the 13th fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S. It is also one of the golf capitals of the world, boasting over 100 golf courses within a 40-mile radius.

BROOKS STADIUM With a gift of $2 million from local businessman Bob Brooks, the Coastal Carolina University football stadium was officially named Brooks Stadium, September 6, 2003, in honor of Brooks’ children, Coby Garrett and Boni Belle. The contribution, announced August 11, 2003, represented the largest single gift the university had received to date. Ground-breaking for the Chanticleers’ stadium was July 30, 2002. Brooks, who grew up on a farm in Loris, was the CEO and founder of Eastern Foods, Inc., creators of the Naturally Fresh line of products, and chairman of Hooters of America, Inc., which includes restaurants by the same name in 41 states and nine countries. He also created Hooters Air Charter Airline, the National Golf Association Hooters Tour, and the Hooters ProCup Series, a $3-million-a-year operation that includes 30 short-track races in small towns throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Brooks passed away in 2006. Phase I of the stadium construction has 6,408 seats. Phase II added almost 1,000 seats prior to the 2006 season, while the end zone fieldhouse will be the third phase of the complex and will be completed in Summer 2010, adding another 1,600 seats to the front of the building. The stadium will continue to be a workin-progress, designed to grow with the program, with a possible future capacity of up to 20,000 seats.
TALE OF THE TAPE BROOKS STADIUM Cost - $11.6 million Football Seating Capacity: Years 1-3: 6,408 Expanded to 7,322 in 2006 Expanding to approx. 8,900 in 2010 Building Time Frame Construction Started - March 2002 Ground-breaking - July 30, 2002 Opening Game - Sept. 6, 2003 General Contractor Hill Construction Architects McMillan Smith & Partners

ADKINS FIELDHOUSE
“Getting the fieldhouse built will be big for us as well. It is so needed to complete the vision of the program, as it really is the last piece of the puzzle. And we have most of the money, so we are ready to do it. It will help us in the recruiting of top notch student-athletes. It will be great for all athletes here at Coastal, with the training room, weight room, meeting rooms and classrooms. It is needed for our University as we are growing.” -- Coastal Carolina Head Football Coach David Bennett More than $5 million has been pledged toward the construction of the Adkins Athletic Field House. The facility will be the headquarters for Coastal Carolina University’s athletic department. Situated at the north end of Brooks Stadium, the $8.5 million, more than 50,000-square foot facility will house coaches’ offices, a 9,000 square-foot weight room to accommodate Coastal Carolina’s 17 Division I sports, new locker rooms, meeting rooms, athletic administration offices, a study area and 1,600 additional seats in the end zone in the front of the building. The facility will also house the Buddy Sasser Athletic Hall of Fame. Construction for the field house is expected to be completed prior to the 2010 season.
Twin brothers Mark and Will Adkins, members of Coastal Carolina University’s Class of 1989 and shown above with Head Coach David Bennett, have donated $1.5 million toward Coastal Carolina’s athletic field house, which will be named in their honor. It is the largest pledged gift the institution has ever received from alumni. This gift is in addition to a $300,000 pledge the brothers made to the project in February 2006, making their total pledge $1.8 million. Originally from Huntington, W.Va., Mark and Will Adkins own a land development business, Adkins Land Group, based in Charlotte, N.C. The company, founded by the brothers in 1993, employs 120 people and conducts projects throughout the Southeast. “We were at Coastal Carolina from ages 18 to 22,” said Will Adkins. “These are the formative years of your life. We made great friends here, and we feel that Coastal helped ‘mold’ us.” “The athletic program at Coastal, particularly football, has been a major factor in the growth of Coastal over the past few years,” said Mark Adkins, “and it gives us a feeling of pride to be able to help, and to be a part of that growth.” The brothers, who both majored in business administration, live in Cornelius, N.C., where they are next door neighbors.
Former Chanticleer and now Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen (right) donated $25,000 to President David DeCenzo (left) for the fieldhouse project, where the quarterback’s meeting room will be named for Thigpen. Joining Thigpen on the field were his father and brother (back left).

SASSER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Coastal Carolina University’s Athletic Hall of Fame was named in honor of former Coastal Carolina athletic director George F. “Buddy” Sasser, on June 4, 2003. “It is a fitting tribute to Buddy that his name should be permanently linked with Coastal’s Athletic Hall of Fame,” said former University President Ronald R. Ingle. “Buddy embodies the highest qualities associated with college athletics — integrity, leadership and scholarship.” The Athletic Hall of Fame will be a significant feature of the Adkins Fieldhouse, which is being constructed in the north end zone of Coastal Carolina’s Brooks Stadium and is slated for completion Summer 2010. Until that structure is finished, the Hall of Fame will be temporarily located in Brooks Stadium in the entry concourse. “This is a real honor,” said Sasser. “Coastal has a rich tradition in athletics, and I’m proud to be a part of it. It’s especially significant to me that the Hall of Fame will be housed in the new football stadium complex, which is located on a site that has sentimental associations for me. I had a part in building the first stadium there back when I was a coach at Conway High School. I’m so proud of the new stadium. The football program is going to add a lot of excitement at Coastal.” The naming of the Athletic Hall of Fame was part of a series of events leading up to Coastal Carolina University’s 50th Anniversary festivities in 2004. Sasser was inducted in 2003, along with three other Coastal Carolina athletic administrators and student-athletes, in the inaugural class of the Big South Conference Hall of Fame. Sasser served as the Big South Commissioner from 1989-1996 and had two stints as Coastal Carolina Director of Athletics (1986-1989 and 1996-1999). While Big South Commissioner, Sasser was responsible for increasing membership, gaining automatic bids to the NCAA Basketball Tournament and adding basketball television exposure for the League. The Commissioner’s Cup award, which goes to the institution with the best overall athletic performance for that year, was renamed the Sasser Cup in his honor. He served on Coastal Carolina’s Football Advisory Committee and on the capital campaign steering committee for Chanticleers’ football stadium. A native of Conway, Sasser served as athletic director and head football coach at Conway High School from 1963 to 1970, leading the Tigers to a 66-17-5 record. He was assistant football coach and assistant athletic director at Appalachian State University from 1972 until 1977, and was athletic director and head football coach from 1977 until 1982 at Wofford College, where he was named 1982 Kodak Coach of the Year for the college division. He joined East Tennessee State in 1982 as head football coach and was named athletic director in 1985. After his second stint as Coastal Carolina’s athletic director, Sasser retired in 1999.

Whether you have been a longtime supporter of Coastal Carolina University Athletics, or you have not returned back to the Conway/Myrtle Beach area since graduation, it is truly the right time to step forward in support of Coastal Carolina University Athletics. Celebrating conference championships, individual student-athlete accolades, sold out stadiums, and national name recognition were just part of what made this past year successful.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES The goal of the Coastal Carolina University Athletic Department and Student-Athlete Academic Support Services is to provide a comprehensive program that emphasizes academic success and personal development. Our Athletic Academic Advising and Student Services staff is dedicated to a holistic approach to supporting studentathletes in reaching academic, personal, and career goals through providing educational opportunities and services to promote academic success, personal growth, and career development. In the department of athletics at Coastal Carolina University, academic support services include academic counseling, advising and mentoring. Academic advisors coordinate student-athlete study hall and academic tutoring in specific subject areas as well as provide a mentoring program for at-risk students. Serving as the liaison between athletic coaches and faculty members, the Student-Athlete Academic and Student Services staff monitors academic progress through interim reports and close communication with faculty members regarding missed class time related to team travel and competition. Additionally, athletic academic advisors help to promote understanding of progress toward degree and NCAA academic eligibility requirements through individual and team meetings. Programming throughout the year to discuss study skills, time management and goal setting also assists in helping student-athletes achieve in the classroom while maintaining excellence in their respective sports. The academic advising staff for student-athletes hosts an annual Academic Awards Banquet to celebrate academic highlights and also counsels the institution’s national student-athlete honorary, Chi Alpha Sigma, Delta Chapter, recognizing juniors and seniors who have earned a 3.2 GPA or higher. Providing opportunities for student-athletes that promote personal development is also important to the Academic Advising and Student Services Staff at Coastal Carolina University. Through program planning and various series of educational courses, the CHAMPS/Life Skills program seeks to educate student-athletes on healthy choices, positive life skills, safe environments, respecting others and embracing diversity. The staff also provides many community service and leadership opportunities on campus, in the Big South Conference, and nationally to achieve personal growth and development. Additional programming on stress management, self-esteem, sexual assault and social development aid student-athletes in developing self-awareness and achieve understanding in terms of their own student development. Coastal Carolina’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a student group composed of noted leaders among Chanticleer teams who meet regularly throughout the year to discuss various issues that teams are facing and organize events such as the Welcome Back Celebration and Student-Athlete Dance. These functions, along with the annual Senior Banquet which recognizes senior studentathletes, are opportunities for student-athletes to integrate appropriate social growth and development into their college experience while participating in their sport. The Coastal Carolina University Athletic Department and Student-Athlete Academic and Student Services staff are dedicated to providing programming and opportunities for academic success and personal development. Student-athletes have more demands, stricter requirements and more complex (left to right) Student-Athlete Academic Advisor (Football) Walter Goffigan, Studentschedules than non-athletes. To help meet those demands, each student-athlete has Athlete Academic Advisor Vicki Pirher, Associate A.D.-Academics Dr. Joe Mazurkiewicz access to an academic advisor. Academic advisors perform a variety of functions which include: • Provide academic, personal and career advising • Assist with class scheduling and major selection • Work with faculty advisors to track academic and degree progress of each student-athlete • Arrange for tutors and mentors • Monitor study hall attendance and productivity • Monitor NCAA continuing eligibility regulations • Tutorial The primary goal of the tutorial program is to provide student-athletes with academic assistance beyond what they receive in the classroom. Tutor appointments may be scheduled through the academic advising staff. Tutors are also available during night time Study Hall in certain subjects and may be utilized on a walk-in basis. All student-athletes have access to tutors on any subject matter. Academic Mentors The purpose of an academic mentor is to provide individualized and/or small group academic support and assistance for student-athletes, assisting them in their transition to the University, developing their study skills and habits, fostering an understanding of learning and motivation, and helping them to develop academic literacy skills. These duties include: • Working with student-athletes on a regular basis to provide guidance in their coursework • Help students develop good study skills and habits • Foster and understanding of the principles of learning and motivation • Facilitate the application of these principles to the student-athletes course work • Provide relevant guidance, support and instruction in reading and writing for students with deficits in those areas • Study hall

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE
transitioning to full membership in Division I

2009 COASTAL CAROLINA FOOTBALL Media Guide

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month The Big South Conference in 2009-10 (Stony Brook joined as an associate football member in 2008)

later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its
first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years. Kallander has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf and had an individual selected to play in

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection. The League also had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored
George F. “Buddy” Sasser Cup Coastal Carolina University has won the George F. “Buddy” Sasser Cup a League-record nine times in its history, the most recent in 2006-07. The Sasser Cup, named for the former Coastal Carolina Athletic Director and Big South Commissioner, honors the top overall athletic department in the Big South Conference. The award is based on a point system, with points being awarded based upon each school’s finish in each of the 18 league-sponsored sports. Coastal won the 2006-07 award by capturing Big South titles in football, women’s indoor track, men’s golf, women’s tennis (tournament) and baseball (regular-season and tournament). In addition to the Big South honors that year, Coastal Carolina was represented in six different NCAA Championships, including a Big South record team finish of fifth at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. In addition, the Chanticleers have won the League’s Women’s All-Sports Trophy five times, including 2008-09 and the Men’s All-Sports Trophy once since its inception in 2003-04.

The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the
classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

BIg South “BEST OF THE BEST” For the 2008-09 season, the Big South Conference postponed for the year any further inductions into the Big South Conference Hall of Fame as the league honored its 25th Anniversary with the 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history. In 2007, the Big South Conference’s 25th Anniversary Committee -- comprised of administrators from each current member institution -- began the challenging yet exciting task of honoring the Conference’s first 25 years. The efforts culminated with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in Big South Conference history from 1983-2008. Coastal Carolina University was the most recognized athletic program on the list with seven of the 25 honored moments and groups. Those groups were: • Tony Dunkin, Coastal Carolina men’s basketball (1989-93) – His name says it all and he did it all for Coastal Carolina’s Men’s Basketball Team. In the early 1990s, Dunkin was a four-time Conference Player of the Year and is the only four-time League Player of the Year in NCAA history. • Amber Campbell, Coastal Carolina women’s track & field (2000-04) – There may never be a more dominant Big South women’s track & field athlete than Amber Campbell. In her days at Coastal Carolina, she won 16 Big South championships and was a five-time NCAA All-American. Campbell then earned her way onto the 2008 U.S. Olympic Track & Field team. • 2001-2008 Coastal Carolina Baseball – In 2001, Coastal Carolina’s baseball team got on the national map where it has stayed. With seven NCAA appearances in eight years, the Chanticleers are coming off of a 2008 season with a near trip to the College World Series. The program has posted 50 wins in three of the last four seasons. • 2003 Coastal Carolina Men’s Soccer and Joseph Ngwenya – In 2003, Coastal Carolina’s Men’s Soccer squad made a gallant run in the NCAA Tournament. Led by National Player of the Year Joseph Ngwenya, the Chanticleers knocked off Davidson and North Carolina to reach the “Sweet Sixteen.” During the regular-season they shut out 14 opponents. • Dustin Johnson, Coastal Carolina men’s golf (2003-07) – At one time Dustin Johnson was the No. 1 college golfer in the country. A three-time All-American and Conference Player of the Year, Johnson went on to represent the United States in the 2007 Walker Cup and is now a rookie on the PGA Tour. • 2006 Coastal Carolina Football – 2006 was a landmark year for Big South football and Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers went 9-2 and undefeated in Conference play. That mark earned them the League’s first-ever berth in the NCAA Football Championship playoffs with a squad featuring four future NFL players. • 2006-07 Coastal Carolina Men’s Golf – Coastal Carolina’s Men’s Golf program made its mark at the 2007 NCAA National Championship. The Chanticleers finished fifth nationally – the highest NCAA team finish in Big South history. The rest of the Big South Conference 25th Anniversary Top 25 “Best of the Best” • 1986-1996 Radford Women’s Basketball – The Big South’s first dynasty in any sport was Radford’s Women’s Basketball Team. From 1986-1996, the Highlanders won nine Conference titles. They were the first program in Big South history to advance to postseason play with a berth in the Women’s NIT in 1989. • Dante Washington, Radford men’s soccer (1988-92) – One of the all-time great Big South soccer players, Washington was a First-Team All-American at Radford. He went on to become a U.S. Olympian and a Major League Soccer all-star. • 1987-1989 UNC Asheville Women’s Tennis – Led by three-time Big South Player of the Year Jenee Cross, UNC Asheville’s Women’s Tennis Team won back-to-back-to-back championships in the late 1980s. Cross did not lose a Conference match in three years. • Ilona Fekete, UNC Asheville volleyball (1990-92) – Big South volleyball reached new heights in 1990 when Ilona Fekete led the nation in blocks. On the way to becoming the League’s first volleyball postseason participant in 1991, Fekete’s UNC Asheville Bulldogs went 29-2. • 1997-2006 Liberty Women’s Basketball – Starting in 1997, the Liberty Women’s Basketball Team set off on an amazing run – 10-straight Conference titles. In 2005, that run was capped off with a trip to the NCAA “Sweet Sixteen” where the Lady Flames knocked off national powers Penn State and DePaul. • 2002-2006 Winthrop Women’s Tennis – Good things started happening for Winthrop’s Women’s Tennis program in 2002. That was the first of five-straight Conference titles and NCAA appearances. In those five years, Winthrop won 49 consecutive Big South matches. • Katie Feenstra, Liberty women’s basketball (2002-05) – In her four years at Liberty, she was a three-time Big South Player of the Year and two-time All-American. Feenstra was also nominated for the Wade Trophy, the John Wooden Award and the Naismith Award. Today she plays for the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA. • Mary Hock (2002-05) and Winthrop Volleyball – Led by Mary Hock, Winthrop went on a volleyball championship run from 2002-06. In 2005, the Big South’s first volleyball All-American led the nation in aces as Winthrop advanced to the NCAA Tournament five years-in-a-row. • 2003 UNC Asheville Men’s Basketball – In 2003, UNC Asheville gave the Big South Conference its first NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament win. Led by Andre Smith’s 28 points, including 10 in overtime, the Bulldogs knocked off Texas Southern. • Danny Gathings, High Point men’s basketball (2003-05) – In what may go down as one of the most gracious acts in Big South history, High Point All-American Big South Conference Hall of Fame Danny Gathings awarded his 2004 Basketball Tournament MVP trophy to Liberty’s Larry Blair. Gathings felt Blair earned the award. With the gesture, the Administrators/Coaches NCAA recognized Gathings as its Co-Sportsman of the Year. Howard Bagwell - League Co-Founder Wendell Carr- Campbell (Athletic Director) • 2005 Charleston Southern Football – Charleston Southern’s journey to the 2005 Big South Football Championship was an emotional one. Predicted to George A. Christenberry - League Co-Founder finish last, the Bucs played the season with heavy hearts after the passing of receiver Eddie Gadson.

With 14 career All-American honors, McDougal is the Big South’s most decorated runner. Jim Settle - Charleston Southern (Cross Country/Track Coach) • Arizona Reid, High Point men’s basketball (2004-08) – High Point’s Arizona Reid was a milestone man. The two-time honorable mention All-American Edward “Dick” Singleton - Former Commissioner joined an elite NCAA class by scoring more than 2,000 points and grabbing 1,000 rebounds in his career. Reid is the only player in Big South history to Chuck Taylor - Radford (Athletic Director) Horace Turbeville - Winthrop (Baseball Coach) accomplish this feat. John Vrooman - Coastal Carolina (Baseball Coach) • Reggie Williams, VMI men’s basketball (2004-08) – Scoring was the name of his game.

The 22nd-ranked (FBS) Penn State University scored on 10 of its 11 possessions as the Nittany Lions defeated the Coastal Carolina University football team, 66-10, Aug. 30 in both team’s season opener. It was the first game against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent in Coastal Carolina football history. Coastal Carolina started out on offense on the game’s first possession and had a 16-yard pass from William Richardson to Trent Usher, but the drive would stall. Penn State then went on a four-play, 43-yard drive that culminated with a seven-yard run by the Nittany Lions’ Evan Royster. Kevin Kelly added the extra point for a 7-0 PSU lead with 11:02 remaining in the first. Coastal Carolina had another big play on its second drive, as a swing pass from Richardson to Eric O’Neal was good for 28 yards, but the Chanticleers were forced to punt again. Penn State would answer with a five-play, 80-yard drive that lastest 2:02. Royster scored his second rushing touchdown of the day with Kelly’s extra point giving Penn State a 14-0 lead. Coastal Carolina would get to midfield on its second straight drive, but consecutive false start penalties stalled that drive. Coastal Carolina’s defense held the Nittany Lions to a three-and-out after a booming 54-yard punt from Ben Erdman pinned Penn State back at its 14-yard line. Zach MacDowall came in for his first series as the Chants quarterback and orchestrated a seven-play, 62-yard drive that ended in a 33-yard touchdown pass to Usher. Justin Durham’s PAT was good as the Chants cut into the PSU lead 14-7. Penn State answered quickly as Derrick Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown.

After enduring an almost two-hour weather delay in the fourth quarter, Coastal Carolina University's football squad dropped a heartbreaker, 23-19, against visiting Colgate, Sun., Sept. 7. The contest was pushed back from Sat., Sept. 6 due to Tropical Storm Hanna. Coastal Carolina got on the scoreboard first in the opening quarter, going 63 yards in 12 plays over 2:55. Kicker Justin Durham hit from 25 yards out and the Chanticleers led 3-0 with 4:47 to go in the first. Colgate answered with a field goal of its own on the following drive, with Jacob Stein's 30-yarder wrapping up a 10-play, 53-yard march to knot it at three on the first play of the second quarter. The Chants posted a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter, spurred by a turnover and a defensive stop. Coastal Carolina forced a fumble by Colgate running back Jordan Scott deep in CU territory, recovered by Keon Cunningham to give the Chants the ball at the Raiders' 11. Four plays later, quarterback Zach MacDowall surged in from a yard out to put Coastal Carolina up 9-3. However, Durham's point after attempt sailed wide to keep the margin at six. Following a stand on the next drive, Coastal Carolina went 64 yards in just three plays and 52 seconds to push the lead to 16-3. MacDowall connected with wide receiver Trent Usher for 32 yards and 22 yards on the drive, which wrapped up with a five-yard run by running back Eric O'Neal for the 13-point halftime advantage. Coastal Carolina got it going late in the third quarter and converted an 11-play, 59-yard drive into points early in the fourth, as Durham hit from 21 yards out to make it 19-3 with 14:16 to play. Colgate followed it up with a march on its next possession, going 63 yards in 12 plays over 4:48, with Scott taking it in from a yard out. Quarterback Greg Sullivan's rush for the two-point conversion make it 19-11
with 9:22 to play, with the game suspended at that point for the next hour and 50 minutes. After stopping Coastal Carolina on a fourth-and-1 at their own 26, Colgate took the ball 74 yards down the field with Sullivan throwing his first career touchdown pass to tight end Adrien Schriefer for his first career touchdown reception from six yards out to make it 19-17 Coastal Carolina with 3:06 on the game clock. Colgate then went for two-point conversion and Scott was stopped at the 1-yard line by linebacker Derrick Frasier to keep the margin at two. After the Chanticleers could not manage a first down, the Raiders took over on their own 31-yard line with 1:44 to play in the contest. Colgate moved down to the Coastal Carolina 16 and quickly set up for a game-winning field goal. A clock error set the time at 8.0 and with it running, the Raiders had a bad snap over the holder's head. However, the holder - backup quarterback Ryan Meyers - recovered the ball and lofted a pass to Schriefer streaking into the left corner, who hauled it in and streaked into the end zone for the game winner with no time on the clock. Colgate outgained Coastal Carolina 394-304 and held a commanding 36:05-23:55 time of possession advantage. The Chanticleers did force three turnovers in the game while only giving up one. MacDowall was 11-19 for 120 yards for Coastal Carolina, while O'Neal had 17 rushes for a career-high 115 yards and one touchdown on the afternoon. Usher had four carries for 70 yards to lead the Chanticleer receivers. For the Raiders, Scott recorded his 14th-straight 100-yard rushing game, with 190 yards on a Coastal Carolina opponent record 43 carries. Sullivan was 14-22 for 110 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while wide receiver Pat Simonds had six receptions for 55 yards.

The Coastal Carolina University football team snapped a two-game slide to start its season by defeating the Monmouth Hawks 26-7 Sat., Sept. 13 at Kessler Field on the campus of Monmouth University. On Coastal Carolina's opening drive, the Chanticleers moved the ball effectively down the field to put the first points on the board. During the drive, quarterback Zach MacDowall hit wide receiver Trent Usher on a 1st-and-10 play with a 34-yard strike to the MU 17-yard line. The drive stalled and resulted in a 28-yard Justin Durham field goal that gave the Chants the early 3-0 lead with 8:05 remaining in the first half. On Monmouth's next possession, quarterback Brett Burke's pass was picked off by Chant Marrio Norman to give Coastal Carolina the ball back on its own 35-yard line. The offense made it count, driving 65 yards in six plays over 2:19. MacDowall connected with wide receiver Jamar Anderson on a 41-yard pass down to the Monmouth 2. On the second goal line play, fullback Vince Starr found the endzone on a 2-yard run to stretch Coastal Carolina's lead to 10-0 with 4:16 remaining in the first quarter. Monmouth had its first scoring chance of the contest early in the second quarter, but the drive stalled at the Coastal Carolina 26. Trailing 10-0, Monmouth elected to attempt a Fred Weingart 43-yard field goal that was tipped at the line by Marrio Norman, and fell well short. Coastal Carolina moved the ball on its next drive, but MacDowall was stripped on the MU 3-yard line and the Hawks recovered the ball. Monmouth managed a first down, bringing the ball to its own 20. On the next play, Monmouth tailback Bobby Giles was stripped by defensive end Phillip Oboh, and the fumble was picked up by defensive lineman Robert Balkunas to give the Chants the ball back. Three plays later, MacDowall hit receiver Brandon Whitley with an 18-yard strike in the end zone to extend the Chants lead to 17-0 with 7:32 remaining in the first half. Following a Monmouth punt, the Chants took over at their own 20 and put together a drive that featured 23 rushing yards by running back Arthur Sitton, a 17-yard catch-and-run by Eric O'Neal and a 19yard pass to Marquel Willis. Coastal Carolina had the ball at the MU 18 but could not punch it further and settled for a 38-yard field goal by Durham, giving the Chants a 20-0 lead heading into the half. After being reinstated by the NCAA on Thursday, running back
Jamie Fordham made his season debut in the second-half and was a big part of the opening drive. The senior had four carries for 28 yards and two pass receptions for 10 yards on the drive. The carries included a 5-yard touchdown run that that brought the Coastal Carolina lead to 26-0 following a failed point-after-try. On Monmouth's next drive, Burke threw his second interception of the contest into the hands of defensive back Keon Cunningham, giving Coastal Carolina the ball at its own 43-yard line. The Chants drove all the way to the Hawks’ 1-yard, but the Monmouth defense stopped a MacDowall fourth-down quarterback sneak to take over in the shadows of its own end zone with 14:04 left to play. The stop on defense turned out to give Monmouth its best drive of the game, driving 71 yards and taking six minutes off the clock. As the case was for most of the day, the Coastal Carolina defense held strong, causing the drive to stall out at the Chants’ 28 on a failed fourth-down attempt. Following a MacDowall interception, Monmouth took over at the Coastal Carolina 20-yard line. A Bobby Giles 3-yard scamper put the Hawks on the board, but the Hawks still found themselves trailing 26-7 with 5:22 left on the clock. The Coastal Carolina defense held strong one last time as Monmouth was knocking on the door with less than a minute left. The Hawks had the ball inside the Chant 5-yard line, but were turned away on three consecutive running plays to end the game with a 26-7 Coastal Carolina victory. Coastal Carolina outgained the Hawks 416-267, despite losing the time of possession battle, 32:57 to 27:03. MacDowall was solid as the offense’s leader, as the redshirt sophomore was 17-of-26 from 233 yards and tossed a touchdown pass. Arthur Sitton and O'Neal led the ground attack, combining for 92 yards on 20 carries, while Usher grabbed five balls for 80 yards to lead the air attack. On defense, linebacker D.J. Rice had nine tackles, while the reigning Sports Network National Defensive Player of the Week Dominique Davenport made eight stops. Monmouth was led by tailback David Sinisi, who rushed for 79 yards on 21 carries, while Burke was 14-of-26 for 84 yards and threw two interceptions.

The Coastal Carolina University football squad scored 31 unanswered points to post a 31-3 victory over Towson, Sept. 20 at Brooks Stadium. The visiting Tigers got on the board first, with a 15-play, 75-yard drive which included a deflected 24-yard completion on a third-down play that looked to end the drive. The defense stiffened in the red zone and forced a 25-yard field goal attempt, which was converted by Mark Bencivengo for a 3-0 Towson lead wtih 7:21 remaining in the first quarter. After a trade of possessions, the Chanticleers were in business in the Towson end of the field after a shanked punt gave Coastal Carolina the ball on the 46. Seven plays later, including a converted fourth-down attempt, quarterback Zach MacDowall went up the middle from nine yards out to cap off the drive, with Justin Durham's point after attempt made it 7-3 Coastal Carolina with 1:36 remaining in the opening period. Coastal Carolina scored on its first drive of the second half, going 79 yards in six plays and 2:41. This time, the Tigers halted the drive outside the end zone and forced a 28-yard field goal by Durham for 10-3 advantage. Towson drove down the field, going 17 plays and 62 yards in just over eight minutes, but was stopped again short of the goal line after three attempts from inside the 3-yard line. The Tigers lined up for an 18-yard field goal attempt by Bencivengo, but it was blocked by Phillip Oboh to preserve the Chanticleers' seven-point lead. Coastal Carolina used that momentum on the next drive, going the 80 yards in just six plays, but hitting the majority of it on the final snap. MacDowall found wide receiver Brandon Whitley streaking down the middle and hit him in stride for a 63-yard touchdown play, the longest of the season and Whitley's first career touchdown reception. Durham's extra point put the Chants up 17-3 with just under a minute remaning in the third.
The Chanticleers put the game out of reach midway through the fourth quarter with a 8-play, 56-yard drive over four-anda-half minutes. Coastal Carolina mixed the run and the pass effectively on the drive, but MacDowall got it in the end zone through the air. The redshirt sophomore bought time with his feet, scrambling out of the pressure and hitting wide receiver Trent Usher with a 19-yard touchdown pass to make it a 24-3 margin with just under eight minutes to play. Coastal Carolina got one more score on the board late on its last possession, as it was another long play to cap off the drive. This time, running back Eric O'Neal busted a 49-yard run for a score, wrapping up the 4-play, 67-yard drive, and giving the Chants the final 31-3 margin. Towson controlled the ball for almost 35 minutes of the game, but could only manage 186 yards on 69 plays, including just 31 yards of rushing. Coastal Carolina posted 459 yards of total offense on just 56 plays. The Chants put together a season-high 302 yards of rushing on just 38 carries, while converting 7-of13 third-down opportunities, as compared to 7-of-19 for the Tigers. O'Neal had a game-high 84 yards and one touchdown on nine rushes, while running back Arthur Sitton posted 69 yards on the ground on just three rushes, including a 67-yard romp. Running back Jamie Fordham became just the fifth Chanticleer to rush for 1,000 yards in his career, posting 54 yards in the game to move to 1,020 for his career. MacDowall was 9-of-18 through the air for 157 yards and two scores, while adding 40 yards and another touchdown on the ground. Whitley led the receivers with three receptions for a career-best 91 yards and one touchdown. Towson's rushing attack was led by Jas Lee Rouson with 54 yards on 22 carries. Sean Schaefer was 20-of-36 for 142 yards but was sacked four times. Marcus Lee had seven receptions for 54 yards, while Steve Holmes had six catches for 36 yards.

The Coastal Carolina University football squad worked the ground game and the defense was strong to overcome several miscues and a rainy evening for a 20-7 victory at North Carolina A&T, Sept. 27. Coastal Carolina got on the board first on its second possession of the night following a Keon Cunningham interception that put the Chanticleers in business at the A&T 8-yard line. Three plays later, quarterback William Richardson stretched the ball into the end zone on a quarterback sneak for a 1-yard touchdown run. Kicker Justin Durham hit the point after attempt and the Chants led 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Starting at its own 38, Coastal Carolina got moving down the field late in the second quarter, getting down to the Aggies' 14-yard line before the drive stalled. After having missed a 40-yard attempt on the previous drive, Durham made good on a 31-yarder to put the Chanticleers up 10-0 with 2:19 remaining in the first half. The drive encompassed seven plays and 48 yards over 3:02 and led to the 10-point halftime lead. North Carolina A&T got the ball on the Coastal Carolina end of the field after a Chanticleer punt and pushed toward the end zone. However, the Chanticleer defense stiffened and, on back-to-back plays, stopped the Aggies short of the goal line and got the ball back on the Coastal Carolina 1-yard line. However, on second down, quarterback William Richardson was about to be sacked and threw the ball wildly, which was deflected and intercepted by Jamison Hedgepeth for a North Carolina A&T touchdown. The point after attempt was good, narrowing the gap to just 10-7 Coastal Carolina with 10:02 to play in the third quarter.
After a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the touchdown was assessed against A&T to back the kick-off to the Aggie 15, Arthur Sitton had a solid return to give the Chanticleers the ball on the A&T 48-yard line. However after seven plays, Coastal Carolina could not convert on 3rd-and-7 from the 8-yard line and settled for a 23-yard field goal from Durham for a 13-7 lead midway through the third. The game was sealed on a drive in the fourth quarter that was a march down the field, as the Chanticleers went 80 yards in seven plays and 3:06. Getting it done mostly on the ground, Coastal Carolina put six more on the board when Richardson got his second touchdown of the game, this time on a quarterback draw where he evaded two tacklers to score from 23 yards out. The extra point made it 20-7 with 5:22 to go in the contest, which was the final margin. Coastal Carolina amassed 351 yards of total offense, with 243 of them coming on the ground. North Carolina A&T was held to just 146 yards on 64 plays, with the Chants recording a school-record seven sacks for 54 yards of loss as part of the total. Richardson had both touchdowns on the ground, rushing for 44 yards on six carries, while going 8-of-14 for 108 yards and two interceptions through the air. Sitton led all carriers with 13 rushes for 77 yards while senior running back Jamie Fordham had eight carries for 69 yards. Wide receiver Brandon Whitley had four carries for 40 yards. Junior Phillip Oboh led the Chants' defense with eight tackles, including 3.0 tackles for loss. The Aggies were led by Dione McNair with 71 yards on 23 carries, while quarterback Herb Miller was just 9-of-19 for 69 yards and two interceptions while being sacked seven times.

The Coastal Carolina University football team fell at home to the #20 Liberty Flames 43-38 in the Big South Conference opener for both teams at Brooks Stadium, Saturday, Oct. 4. The loss was the first in league play in Brooks Stadium since the 2003 season, a streak of eight consecutive wins. The game had its moments for the Chanticleers, who fell behind 10-0 early in the first quarter after Liberty tailback Rashad Jennings caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Flames quarterback Brock Smith at the 9:36 mark of the quarter. The Flames later added to the lead with a Matt Bevins 22-yard field goal, giving the No. 20 team in the land the early lead. Quarterback Jamie Childers, who was utilized as a goal-line quarterback throughout the contest, cut the Flames lead to 10-7 on a 1-yard touchdown run with 1:56 left in the quarter. The Chants would take a 14-10 lead early in the second half as Chanticleer running back Jamie Fordham broke a 15-yard run for six. Liberty would then register 17 unanswered points from the second quarter to 4:40 into the third, as the Chants would find themselves in a 27-14 hole. The Chants would add a Justin Durham 42-yard field goal to trim the lead to 27-17. Liberty had one more big offensive play remaining, and it proved to be a backbreaker. On the ensuing drive and following the kick return, wide-out B.J. Hayes got his hands on an endaround on the first play of the drive and busted out a 66-yard run to stretch the Flames lead to 34-17. On the following Chanticleer drive, quarterback Zach MacDowall led the offense down the field on a 12 play, 75-yard drive chewing 3:26 off the clock that was capped off by a quarterback keeper to run the score to 34-24. Liberty would answer with a score of its own, making the score 40-24. The Chants would answer back with yet another MacDowall touchdown pass, this time of the 30 yard variety to receiver Marquel Willis with 11:53 remaining in the contest. Liberty would tack on three more points on a Matt Bevins 34-yard field goal to bring the score to 42-32 with 7:34 left.
The Chants were down, but not out. MacDowall would once again lead the Chant offense down the field on a 15 play, 91 yard drive the chewed 4:05 off the clock. The score went to 43-38 after Fordham's scamper. On the ensuing two-point conversion, Fordham was stopped at the goal-line, leaving the Chants down by five with less than two minutes remaining. Chanticleer placekicker Justin Durham was called on to attempt an onside kick. The kick was struck well, but the Chants were unable to get a handle on it, turning the ball over to Liberty. On 3rd-and-2, Jennings rushed for 32 yards to the Coastal 1, sealing the Flames the 43-38 win. The game statistics reflected the overall closeness of the game, as both teams gained over 500 yards of offense, with Liberty racking up 292 yards of rushing and 239 yards of passing, while Coastal Carolina had 382 yards through the air and 152 on the ground.

The Coastal Carolina University football team gave up 28 unanswered points in the second half and fell at VMI, 47-20, Oct. 11 in a Big South Conference game. VMI got on the board with the opening drive of the game, mixing the run and pass throughout the 11-play, 79-yard march over 5:13. Chaz Jones burst into the end zone from three yards out and Greg Stevens extra point attempt made it 7-0 Keydets early in the first quarter. Coastal Carolina got the ball back in great position, as safety Keon Cunningham intercepted quarterback Kyle Hughes' pass to give the Chants the ball on the VMI 21. It took one play to get on the board, as running back Eric O'Neal took the option pitch, cut back against the defense and broke three tackles en route to the end zone. Justin Durham tacked on the extra point and the game was knotted at seven with 1:31 remaining in the first quarter. The Chants' quickly got back on the board but this time the defense got in the act. On 3rd-and-6 at the VMI 25, the Keydets' Tim Maypray was wrapped up and a fumble was forced at the VMI 31 by Brian Harrison. Safety Brandon Autry picked it up at the VMI 31 and scampered the entire distance for a Coastal Carolina touchdown and a 14-7 lead late in the first. Another turnover was forced by the Chanticleer defense on the second play of the next possession, as defensive lineman Jeremy Harden stripped Maypray of the ball and fell on it at the VMI 37. However, Coastal Carolina could not move the ball and Durham's 42-yarder went wide left, the second missed field goal from at least 40 yards in the game. VMI got a chance deep in Chant territory after Jacob Rochester intercepted Zach MacDowall's pass and returned it to the Coastal Carolina 14. However, the defense held and forced a field goal attempt, which Stevens hit from 24 yards to cut the Chanticleer lead to 14-10 with 5:10 to play in the first half. Coastal Carolina answered on its ensuing drive, going 72 yards in seven plays over 2:38. MacDowall connected with Marquel Willis on a 5-yard pass for the touchdown to put the Chants up 20-10 with 2:32 remaining in the half. However, VMI blocked the ensuing point after attempt and Juan Thrasher picked it up and returned it the distance for two points for the Keydets to cut the lead to 20-12.
The Keydets took the momentum and went quickly down the field, taking just 1:50 to go nine plays and 80 yards.

Quarterback Zach MacDowall passed for three touchdowns to lead the Coastal Carolina University football team past North Carolina Central 35-10 Saturday, Oct. 18 at Brooks Stadium. Coastal Carolina collected the opening kick and used 1:52 to get on the scoreboard. Quarterback Zach MacDowall’s second completion resulted in a 61-yard pass to a wide open Jamar Anderson, who trotted in to the end zone. Kicker Justin Durham’s extra point put the Chants ahead 7-0. The Chants’ defense stymied the Eagles again and took possession on Coastal Carolina’s 43-yard line. On the 10th play of the drive, MacDowall completed an eight-yard pass to wide receiver Kenny Jones to put the Chanticleers up 14-0 with 4:39 remaining in the first quarter. NCCU earned three first downs in its first drive of the second quarter, going 11 plays on the drive and getting as deep as the Coastal Carolina 12. However, the Chanticleer defense would hold the Eagles out of the end zone, forcing NCCU to attempt a 35-yard field goal. Brandon Gilbert connected from the distance to put NCCU on the board 14-3 with just under nine minutes remaining in the half. Coastal Carolina took a commanding lead, scoring on the following two possessions in less than four minutes. Jamie Fordham rushed straight up the middle for 28 yards for a touchdown to put Coastal Carolina ahead 21-3. MacDowall then led the Chants on a quick five-play drive, capped off by a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Whitley for a 28-3 advantage at halftime.
After a scoreless third quarter, the Eagles combined for four plays and 73 yards for their first touchdown of the game. Wayne Blackwell caught a 63-yard pass from quarterback Michael Johnson, cutting Coastal Carolina’s lead to 28-10. On the ensuing drive, the Chanticleers needed just six plays to cover 67 yards. Running back Arthur Sitton broke a tackle by spinning off his defender and rushed for a 42yard score for a 35-10 lead with 9:41 to play. That would end up as the final margin in the contest. Coastal Carolina amassed 373 yards of total offense while holding NCCU to just 215. The Chanticleers rushed for 215 yards, marking the 29th win in 33 times that Coastal Carolina has gone over the 200-yard rushing mark in a game. NCCU managed only 39 yards on the ground on 26 carries. MacDowall steered the Chanticleers’ victory going 13-for-22 for 158 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Sitton had six carries for 100 rushing yards and a touchdown, the first career 100-yard rushing game. Linebacker Desmond Steward made an impressive first career start, posting a team-leading 11 tackles.

Four fumbles by the Coastal Carolina University football team helped Stony Brook steal a 28-24 victory at the Chanticleers’ Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 25 at Brooks Stadium. The loss drops Coastal Carolina to 4-5 overall and 0-3 in the Big South Conference. The last time Coastal Carolina started Big South play 0-3 was the inaugural season when the Chants finished 1-3 in league play. With the crowd roaring, Coastal Carolina lined up to receive the kickoff, but fumbled the ball on its 25-yard line as Stony Brook’s Benjamin Clements recovered the turnover for the Seawolves. Covering 25 yards in five plays, Conte Cuttino rushed for six yards into the end zone putting Stony Brook up 7-0 with 13:07 remaining in the first quarter. The Chanticleers wasted no time getting back into the game on their next possession as quarterback Zach MacDowall marched his team up the field completing a 56-yard pass to wide receiver Trent Usher just short of the goal line. MacDowall finished off the 78-yard drive on the seventh play, rushing one yard for a touchdown as the Chants leveled the game at seven. In the second quarter, Coastal Carolina and Stony Brook traded missed field goal attempts. MacDowall put the Chanticleers ahead 13-7 when he threw a 30-yard pass to Marquel Willis who corralled the ball in the end zone with just 1:06 remaining. Kicker Justin Durham missed the point after attempt to keep the margin at six. Stony Brook looked to get on the scoreboard again in the final seconds of the half but missed a 48-yard field goal attempt as the Chants took a 13-7 advantage into the half. After an unsuccessful drive to start the third quarter, Stony Brook was forced to punt the ball. The Chanticleers were hounded again by another special teams miscue as Jamar Anderson fumbled the ball on Coastal Carolina’s 15-yard line, allowing the Seawolves to swipe up the loose ball. On the third play on the short drive, Stony Brook quarterback Dayne Hoffman completed a 9-yard pass to Dwayne Eley to take a 14-13 lead. Using nine plays to cover 68 yards, MacDowall’s 20-yard pass connected with Usher, who broke a tackle on the 3-yard line and
ran into the end zone. MacDowall then found Jon Greene in the end zone to complete the two-point conversion and put the Chants up 21-14 with 7:42 to go in the third. The cool temperature may have been a factor later in the third, as Coastal Carolina fumbled its second punt reception of the night, handing the ball over to the Seawolves at the Chants’ 29-yard line. On the third play of the drive, Hoffman threw a 30-yard pass to Eley for his second touchdown of the game to even the score at 21-21 with just under five minutes to go in the third. Driving up the field in 10 plays and 69 yards, Coastal Carolina used the foot of James Pallassino to convert a 30-yard field goal. It was Pallassino’s first field goal attempt of his career, as the Chanticleers went ahead 24-21 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. On the second play of its next possession, Stony Brook grabbed a 28-24 advantage early in the fourth. Hoffman tossed a 61-yard pass to a wide open Eley, his third touchdown reception of the game. Coastal Carolina made a final attempt up the field in the last three minutes of the game, driving down to the 35. On a 3rd-and-10, MacDowall completed a pass to running back Arthur Sitton. However striving for extra yardage, Sitton fumbled the ball and the Seawolves recovered on their own 25-yard line to secure the game with 1:11 remaining. Coastal Carolina outgained Stony Brook, 505-376 and held a slight possession in time of advantage, holding the ball almost 32 minutes. Beyond the four turnovers, Coastal Carolina was also stopped on both its fourth-down conversion attempts. MacDowall had a strong outing, going 22-for-35 for 306 yards in the air and two touchdowns, while adding 80 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. Jamie Fordham led the Chants with 81 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Sitton was the top receiver with five receptions for 42 yards. For the Seawolves, Hoffman was 14-for-27 for 197 yards, connecting with Eley on all three touchdown tosses of the night. Eley finished with six catches for 120 yards and three touchdowns, while Cuttino rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.

Quarterback Zach MacDowall threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Coastal Carolina University football team past Gardner-Webb for its first win in Big South Conference action, 23-18, Saturday, Nov. 8, at Coach Norman Harris Field. Gardner-Webb got on the board first in the final minute of the first quarter, taking advantage of a Coastal Carolina fumble. Eating up over five minutes of clock time in 13 plays, the Bulldogs capped the 68-yard drive with a 29-yard field goal by Ryan Gates to take a 3-0 lead with 52 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Chants answered on their next possession, using eight plays to go 62 yards down the field. The drive was highlighted by MacDowall’s 35-yard catch-and-run play with Curtis Smiley, who powered through his defender to give the Chanticleers a first down at the GWU 22. Facing a third-and-goal, MacDowall threw a three-yard slant pass to wide receiver Marquel Willis, and James Pallssino banked in the extra point off the left upright, putting the Chanticleers ahead 7-3 with 11:52 to go in the second. Gardner-Webb put together another scoring drive late in the first half, going nine plays and 64 yards. The drive stalled at Coastal Carolina’s 31 and Gates connected on a career-long 49-yard field goal to trim the Chanticleer lead to 7-6 with 58 seconds remaining. That was enough time for the Chanticleer offense to add to their lead, as the Chanticleers started the drive on their own 38-yard line after a squib. Coastal Carolina marched up the field behind the arm of MacDowall, using nine plays to cover 62 yards. MacDowall again found Willis on a quick route, this time for a two-yard touchdown with 1.3 seconds on the clock, to make it 13-6 at the break after the missed point after attempt. A defensive stance by both teams occupied most of the third quarter until Gardner-Webb again slashed the lead. Quarterback Devin Campbell connected with Dobson Collins for the first Bulldog touchdown of the day to cut the lead to 13-12 with 1:15 to go in the third. The Bulldogs had a chance to tie the score, but the extra point barely got over the line of scrimmage and went well below the cross bar, leaving the Chants with a one-point advantage.
After a trade of possessions, the Chanticleers again pushed it down the field after a defensive stand deep in GWU terrirtory and a short punt gave Coastal Carolina the ball at the Bulldog 41. The MacDowall-led offense used only three plays for 41-yards, with the big play a 39-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Trent Usher to stretch the lead to 20-12 with 10:53 to go in the fourth quarter. Gardner-Webb answered on its next possession, with Campbell throwing a 62-yard pass to James Perry, moving the Bulldogs to the Coastal Carolina’s 20-yard line. Later in the drive Campbell connected again with Collins for the 15-yard touchdown, pulling within two points of the Chanticleers at 20-18. Gardner-Webb attempted a two-point conversion, but the pass was broken up by defensive back Marcus Lott and the score remained 20-18 with 9:09 remaining in the game. With 5:37 to go in the game, Coastal Carolina got the ball back and killed most of the clock, including two key third-down conversions. Eventually, the Chanticleers settled for a 36-yard field goal from Pallassino to go up 23-18 with 47 seconds remaining. GWU tried to move down the field, but stalled out at the Coastal 47 as time expired. Coastal Carolina was outgained 439-344 but did hold a time of possession advantage, 31:11-28:02, including over 19 minutes of possession in the second half. Part of that margin was due to third-down conversions, as the Chants were 7-of-15 on third-down opportunities, while the Bulldogs were just 4-of-13. MacDowall finished the game going 21-of-30 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions through the air. Wide receiver Jamar Anderson getting five receptions for 72 yards to lead the receiving corps, as four different receivers had at least three catches. Punter Ben Erdman also did a quality job on a windy day, averaging 40.3 yards on seven punts and putting three punts inside the 20-yard line, including two inside the six. Gardner-Webb was led by two receivers with more than 100-yards of catches, as Perry had six receptions for 131 yards and Collins had six for 105 yards and two scores. Campbell was limited in his success though, as he was just 21-for-45 for 338 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and two sacks, while being held to just 13 yards on 10 carries.

The Coastal Carolina University football team scored 21 unanswered points in the second quarter and made them stand for a 21-13 victory at Presbyterian, Saturday, Nov. 15. After a scoreless first quarter, Presbyterian got on the scoreboard first after getting a short field with the ball on the Coastal Carolina 44. It took the Blue Hose eight plays and just over two minutes but running back Chetyuane Reeder scored on a 15-yard run to put PC up 7-0 in the opening seconds of the second quarter. The Chanticleers answered on their next possession, taking advantage of a PC penalty on the touchdown and getting the ball on the Chants' 48. After converting a 4th-and-2 with a 6-yard scramble of his own, quarterback Zach MacDowall went around the left end and scampered 38 yards into the end zone for the touchdown. Kicker James Pallassino hit the extra point and the score was tied with 12:46 remaining in the first half. After halting the Blue Hose on a 4th-and 9 at the Coastal Carolina 22, the Chanticleers marched the ball down field in 10 plays over 3:59, primarily utilizing the run. However, the drive ended with MacDowall finding wide receiver Keith Graham in the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown to give Coastal Carolina its first lead of the game, with the PAT making it 14-7 with 5:46 to go in the second quarter. Coastal Carolina got the ball back quickly, as linebacker D.J. Rice picked off a short pass at the Blue Hose 38 and returned it to the Presbyterian 18-yard line. On the second play of the drive, fullback Racheed Gause took it in from 12 yards out, including plowing over a pair of PC defenders near the goal line. Pallassino connected on the point after and the Chants had a 21-7 lead with 2:40 remaining in the second. That ended up being the halftime margin.
Another miscue sparked the next touchdown, as Pallassino's 41-yard field goal attempt was blocked, giving the Blue Hose the ball on the Chanticleer 25. On the third play, quarterback Brandon Miley utilized a Coastal Carolina false start and continued the play, connecting on a 67-yard catch-and-run to Reeder to trim the Chant lead to 21-13 with 5:41 to play in the third. However, the second blocked kick of the game occurred on the point after attempt, as Coastal Carolina burst through to keep the points off the board and keep its eight-point lead. The teams exchanged several possessions in the fourth quarter, with the Blue Hose having the ball with a late opportunity at their own 30 with 1:02 to play. However on the second play of the drive, Miley headed back to pass and scrambled, but was stripped by defensive lineman Ronnie Mason and Rice recovered the fumble to seal the victory for the Chants. Coastal Carolina outgained PC, 374-328, including 246 yards of rushing by the Chanticleers. Turnovers were also a big part of the game, as the Chants forced three Blue Hose turnovers while giving up none. Of those three, one ended a PC threat deep in Chanticleer territory, the second set up the third Chant touchdown and the final one by Rice. The Chanticleers also posted five sacks in the contest while giving up just three. Running back Jamie Fordham led the ground game with 91 yards on 19 carries, while Arthur Sitton had 69 yards on just eight carries to help the Chants' cause. MacDowall was 14-for22 through the air for 128 yards and a score. Seven different Coastal Carolina receivers had receptions, with Marquel Willis and Jon Greene each with three receptions. PC, playing without running back S.J. Worrell due to a violation of team rules, was led on the ground by Mario Carter with 15 rushes for 63 yards, while Miley was 23-for-44 for 283 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Brandon Clark had five catches for 72 yards.

In one of the coldest games in program history, the Coastal Carolina University football team struggled to find the end-zone and dropped a 24-0 decision in the regular season finale against in-state rival Charleston Southern, Saturday, Nov. 22 at Brooks Stadium. This was the Chanticleers’ first-ever shutout loss. The first half was a scoreless affair, with the Chanticleers having the best opportunities and dominating the time of possession, holding the ball more than 20 minutes. However, Coastal Carolina missed a pair of field goal attempts, the last with just over a minute to go in the second quarter. Charleston Southern put points on the board on its first drive of the second half after getting the ball on its own 16 on the opening kickoff. The Bucs marched 84 yards in just six plays, capped off by quarterback Tribble Reese hitting tight end Tyrese Harris with a 17-yard touchdown pass. The point after attempt was muffed, leaving the score 6-0 with 11:16 remaining in the third. After a missed field goal on its second possession, CSU again mounted a 10-play, 80-yard drive and found the end zone again. This time, Reese hit Markus Murry with a 21-yard touchdown pass in the right corner of the end zone to go up 12-0. The Bucs went for two and converted with Reese again finding Murry in the end zone, making it 14-0 Charleston Southern with 1:19 to go in the third. A Coastal Carolina fumble gave CSU the ball at the Chanticleer 9-yard line and the Bucs again put points on the board. The defense held them out of the end zone,
forcing a 26-yard field goal by John Paglia to go up 17-0 with 13:54 to go in the contest. The Bucs sealed the win after capitalizing on another Chanticleer turnover, this time getting the ball at the Coastal Carolina 28. On the first play of the drive, wide receiver Gerald Stevenson picked up the ball on a trick play and scampered the distance for the touchdown, with Paglia’s PAT making it 24-0 with 8:07 remaining. Six turnovers (three fumbles and three interceptions) were significant for the Chants, as well as the lack of offense in the second half without quarterback Zach MacDowall, who was injured in the first half. The Chants managed just 95 yards of offense in the second half, including five of the six turnovers. Coastal Carolina still held the advantage in yards gained, 276-235, but the Bucs held the ball for over 20 minutes of the second half. Due to the injury, Coastal Carolina utilized three quarterbacks, who combined to go 21-of-30 for 180 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions. MacDowall was 8-of-8 for 80 yards before being forced to leave the contest in the first half. Running back Eric O’Neal led the ground game for the Chants with eight carries for 44 yards, while wide receiver Brandon Whitley had five receptions for 35 yards. Charleston Southern was led by Gerald Stevenson’s 10 carries for 63 yards and one touchdown, while quarterback Tribble Reese was 11-of-18 for 82 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

CHANTICLEERS IN THE NFL Quarterback Tyler Thigpen became the first-ever National Football League draft pick from the Big South Conference, as he was drafted in the seventh round (selection 217 overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft. He was eventually claimed by the Kansas City Chiefs and spent the 2007 season on the active roster. In 2008, he started 11 times in his 14 games played, going 230-of-420 for 2,608 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also led all NFL quarterbacks with 386 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 62 carries. A First Team Associated Press All-American, Thigpen broke Big South Conference records for total offense, passing efficiency, passing yards, passing yards per game and touchdown passes.

He has 25 total tackles, with 22 of them being solo shots.

CHANTICLEERS IN THE NFL Wide receiver Jerome Simpson became the second Big South Conference player ever drafted in the National Football League when he was picked in the second round (46th selection overall) by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008. Simpson finished his career as the Big South’s all-time leader in receiving yardage (2,720) and touchdowns (44) and was fourth in receptions (161). His 44 touchdowns rank fourth on the all-time Football Championship Subdivision career list.
Fullback Mike Tolbert signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in 2008. In his rookie season, Tolbert not only earned a roster spot but was a starter in seven of his 13 games played until an injury sidelined him late in the year. He posted 13 receptions for 171 yards and one touchdown and carried 13 times for 37 yards while blocking for All-Pro LaDanian Tomlinson. Tolbert was a Second Team All-American as a senior, as well as finishing his career third on Coastal Carolina’s rushing chart with 1,670 yards.

After four years of wait, anticipation, construction and excitement, Coastal Carolina opened its inaugural season of I-AA football in 2003. Under Head Coach David Bennett, the Chanticleers took the field with just two recruiting classes and a group of walk-ons that looked to be the start of a new tradition. Rain came down the morning of the first game as television crews prepared to broadcast a historic moment. Before a standing-room-only crowd, the Chanticleers gave fans something to cheer about, scoring on the opening drive for a 7-0 lead. The game was tied at 14 as Coastal Carolina got the ball on its own 3 with 4:08 to go in the game. The Chants marched 11 plays, all on the ground, and scored the game-winner with just seven seconds to play for a 21-14 win and the first-ever tearing down of the goalposts at Brooks Stadium. The euphoria of the opening win quickly fell, as the Chants lost back-to-back games to Morehead State and Jacksonville. Just five days after the loss to JU, Coastal Carolina was back on the field and ended up in a shootout at North Greenville. The Chanticleers put together 35 second-quarter points, spurred by 202 rushing yards from Aundres Perkins, and held on for a 49-39 win to even the record at 2-2. Defending Big South Conference champion GardnerWebb opened league action for the Chants and the Bulldogs were up to the task, handing the host Coastal Carolina squad a 38-17 loss. The Chanticleers finally were able to post back-to-back wins for the first time in its brief history. The first came with the program’s first shutout, a 47-0 whitewash of visiting Charleston (WV). Coastal Carolina then followed it up with a 29-19 win at Savannah State to go above .500 at 4-3. VMI headed to Conway for the first football Homecoming at Coastal Carolina University. After the Chanticleers got on top 10-0, the visiting Keydets came back to take control and earn a 19-10 win. Coastal Carolina went back on the road for the final three games of its inaugural season, starting at Davidson. The Chanticleers got the ground game rolling, totalling 417 yards on the ground, 201 of them by Patrick Hall, as part of a 52-27 win over the Wildcats. The game also marked the first-ever touchdown pass by the Chants, as Tyler Thigpen hooked up with tight end Brandon Jeffcoat from six yards for the score. The second game of the Chants’ road trip occurred at Liberty, as the Flames looked to assert themselves in the league. Coastal Carolina led 14-7 at the halftime break, but the hosts scored 17 unanswered points over the first 15:11 of the second half and made it stand for a 38-21 win. Coastal Carolina headed into the season finale at Charleston Southern with a pair of goals still in its sights. With a 5-5 record, the Chanticleers were looking to cap off their inaugural season with a victory for a winning season overall and for their first Big South Conference victory. The Chants scored five touchdowns in the first half and 48 straight points to get a 4814 win to close out the first season of the new program. Three Chanticleers were named First Team All-Big South, while five were selected to the Second Team for their play. Maurice Simpkins became the first Coastal Carolina player to record 100 tackles in a season, finishing with 103, while Perkins set a Big South single-season record with 14 rushing touchdowns. Additionally in its first year of play, the Chants ranked sixth in I-AA football in attendance based on capacity, averaging 103.86 percent of capacity in the first five home games.

The 2004 season was a historic one for the Coastal Carolina football program, as the Chanticleers captured the Big South Conference title in just their second year of play, posting a perfect 4-0 mark in league play and 10-1 record overall. Coastal Carolina started the season on the road, looking to avenge their worst loss of the inaugural season - a 25-point defeat at home to Morehead State. The Chants got on the board first and controlled the game throughout, earning a 28-7 win. The Chanticleers returned to the friendly confines of Brooks Stadium for the home opener, hosting Davidson. This was a battle, as the pesky Wildcats continued to fight back at every opportunity, but Coastal Carolina held on for a 31-24 victory to move to 2-0. A road game at Newberry proved to be a bitter pill to swallow for the young program. With an influx of I-A and I-AA transfers to the Division II school, the Indians rode the arm of Josh Stepp to a 21-7 upset of the Chants. Coastal Carolina got back on track with a pair of solid victories, getting home wins over North Greenville, 58-7, and Charleston (WV), 48-13. The Chanticleers moved to 4-1 on the season and prepared to open Big South Conference play. The Chanticleers made their first ever trip to Lexington, Va. for the military pomp of playing VMI. After an impressive entrance into the stadium by the Keydets, the two teams locked in a battle throughout the contest and entered the fourth quarter knotted at 14. With just under 13 minutes to play, wide receiver Perry Parks took a crossing route pass from Tyler Thigpen and scampered 30 yards past the VMI defense for his first touchdown and the game winner in the 21-14 Coastal Carolina victory. Liberty arrived in Conway for its first visit to Brooks Stadium, but Coastal Carolina made sure it wasn’t a pleasant one for the guests. The Chanticleers limited the Flames’ offense to just 62 yards on the ground, and, after a scoreless first quarter, dominated the rest of the way for a 33-6 win. The victory earned the Chants national honors as they were named College Sports Report National Team of the Week for their play. Back on the road, Coastal Carolina headed to GardnerWebb for a televised Big South showdown with the two-time defending league champions. The Chants scored the first 21 points of the game and handed the Bulldogs with their first Homecoming loss since 1993 with a 31-17 win. The victory also clinched at least a share of Coastal Carolina’s first-ever Big South title with one league game to play. The Chanticleers next welcomed Savannah State for the Homecoming festivities. Coastal Carolina took care of business, controlling the game from the start in a 52-14 win to move to 8-1 on the year. The victory also moved Coastal Carolina into the national polls for the first time in school history, as the Chants were ranked 24th by The Sports Network following the win. Jacksonville was next to Conway, with Coastal Carolina getting a sloppy 48-23 win over the visiting Dolphins. Charleston Southern then stood in the Chants’ way of their first title but a strong second half dispatched the Bucs with a 56-28 Chanticleer win and the outright Big South crown. Coastal Carolina had 15 players named All-Big South (seven First Team, eight Second Team), including Offensive Player of the Year Patrick Hall, Freshman of the Year Jerome Simpson and Coach of the Year David Bennett, who was also named AFCA Regional Coach of the Year. Offensive linemen Antwon Trice and Nick Johnson became Coastal Carolina ’s first All-Americans, as Trice was named to the Third Team and Johnson as Honorable Mention by Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette.

Coastal Carolina stepped out for the 2005 season looking to defend their Big South Conference crown and prove that the team was worthy of the previous year’s top-25 ranking and a potential berth in the playoffs. The season opened on the road for the second straight year, as the Chanticleers took on its first-ever Southern Conference foe at Elon. Coastal Carolina battled the upstart Phoenix and escaped with a 17-10 victory. Coastal Carolina returned home for the biggest game in the program’s brief history, hosting defending National Champion James Madison at Brooks Stadium. Before an overflow crowd, the “Cardiac Chants” started making a national name for themselves. The hosts scored 14 unanswered points in the final six minutes of play, including an eight-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Thigpen to Perry Parks with 34 seconds to play, to upset the No. 1 Dukes, 31-27. The road again beckoned for Coastal Carolina, as the squad traveled up the mountain to Boone, N.C. to take on Appalachian State. The Mountaineers, who would eventually go on to win the national title, scored 30 first half points en route to a 30-3 victory. Delaware State was the next opponent and the home defense continued for Coastal Carolina, as the Chanticleers put together a 24-6 win to move to 3-1 on the year. Coastal Carolina returned to the road, staying in state to play No. 17 South Carolina State on South Carolina E-TV. The Bulldogs held the lead late until another dramatic comeback by the visitors. Trailing 23-10 going into the fourth, the Chanticleers put together a pair of touchdown drives, this time with Thigpen hitting Jerome Simpson for the game winner on fourth-and-goal from the SCSU 3 with 17 seconds to play. Big South Conference play started at home against Gardner-Webb and Coastal Carolina had a first-time experience - overtime. Another come-from-behind effort, culminated by Josh Hoke’s 45-yard field goal with no time remaining to send it to overtime and his 25-yarder good for the extra period win. Lynchburg, Va., and the Liberty Flames were next on the docket for Coastal Carolina, and this one had an even bigger flair for the dramatic, as it took three overtimes to decide the winner. The Chanticleers again came out on top, as Aundres Perkins scored from five yards out and Quinton Teal’s interception in the end zone sealed the victory. A 38-14 Homecoming win over VMI moved Coastal Carolina to 7-1 on the year and had the faithful thinking about a possible postseason bid. Victories over Savannah State (42-16) and Mansfield (71-8) set up the annual season finale against Charleston Southern, with this one away from home. Coastal Carolina had control of the game late, scoring on a fake punt run by Perkins to go up 24-10 with just under three minutes to play. Spurred by the memory of Eddie Gadson who had passed over the summer, the Bucs rallied for 14 points, including tying it with no time remaining to go to overtime. After field goals in the first extra stanza for both teams, CSU scored a touchdown in the second overtime and shut down the Chants, grabbing a share of the Big South title and ending any hopes of a berth in the playoffs for Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers had 15 players garner All-Big South accolades (seven First Team and eight Second Team) for their play during the 2005 season. Teal was named Regional Defensive Back of the year as well as a Third Team All-American by National Weekly Football Gazette, while Hoke earned First Team Academic All-American, the first ever for the Chanticleer football program.

The 2006 season set another new standard for the Coastal Carolina football program, as the Chanticleers made more history in just their fourth year of play. Ranked in the top 25 of all three major national polls, Coastal Carolina opened the season against Southern Conference foe Elon for the second straight year, though this time at home. The Chanticleers carried a 12-game home win streak into the contest but a slow start to the year ensued, as Coastal Carolina dropped the opener 23-20 to the Phoenix. The second of three consecutive SoCon opponents was next, as Coastal Carolina made its first-ever trip to Spartanburg to take on Wofford. A big third quarter rally sparked the Chants and a touchdown in the final minute of play gave Coastal Carolina a dramatic 41-38 victory over the Terriers. Back on the road for the second straight week, Coastal Carolina traveled to No. 24 Georgia Southern for a televised night contest. The Eagles came in to the contest off a loss and inspired by the passing of their former legendary coach Erk Russell and handed the visiting Chanticleers the 38-21 defeat. The Chants rebounded with solid performances in wins over in-state rival South Carolina State and at Winston-Salem State. The wins got Coastal Carolina back above .500 at 3-2, setting up another classic at Brooks Stadium. No. 3 Furman was next welcomed to Conway, and both teams arrived for a battle. The game went back and forth, with Furman taking the lead 27-21 on a fourth-quarter touchdown. However, the point after attempt was blocked and returned by the Chanticleers for two points to cut the margin to 27-23. Coastal Carolina then marched the football down the field for the game-winning score and held on for a 29-27 win. Moving back into the top 25, the Chanticleers had a pair of challenges to open Big South Conference play. A last minute drive gave Coastal Carolina a 31-27 win at VMI, followed by another fourth-quarter comeback in a 28-26 victory over Liberty. Coastal Carolina handled Savannah State for Homecoming, to move to 7-2 on the year heading into the final two league contests. Gardner-Webb was next on the schedule, and the Chants were up to the task, handling the host Bulldogs for a 52-24 win on Big South TV. The “Battle of the Beach” wrapped up the regular season, as Charleston Southern looked to play the spoiler again for Coastal Carolina’s bid for the playoffs. However this time, the Chants made it count down the stretch, posting a 31-17 win to run their record to 9-2. When the bids came out for the 16-team NCAA Division I Football Championships, Coastal Carolina heard its name called, making it the third fastest team in FCS history to qualify for the playoffs. However, the challenge was daunting for the upstarts, as defending National Champion Appalachian State would play host to the Chants for the opening round. Similar to their meeting in 2005, the Mountaineers jumped on top early in the first half to a 31-0 halftime lead. Coastal Carolina battled back and eventually scored more points than any ASU opponent in 2006, but fell short in a 4528 loss to the eventual national champs. Coastal Carolina set 11 new Big South records during the year and had 12 players earn All-Big South honors, including Offensive Player of the Year Tyler Thigpen. The Chanticleers also had seven players honored on All-American squads, again led by Thigpen on the Associated Press’ First Team. Graduating 33 senior letterwinners, the final recognition came from the NFL, as Thigpen became the first player ever drafted from the Big South, while Quinton Teal and Rodney Burgess signed freeagent contracts.

The 2007 season was one of rebuilding for the Chanticleers and more than any other program in Division I football. Coastal Carolina lost 36 seniors - two full recruiting classes after the 2006 campaign and looked to youth to fill many of the holes. There were some highly-experienced veterans still in the lineup, but time would tell whether or not it would be enough to carry Coastal Carolina to another successful season. The Chants headed on the road to start the season for the third time in five years, heading to take on the Delaware State. The Hornets were rude hosts, as the eventual MEAC champions handed the visitors a 23-18 defeat. The Chanticleers returned home for a pair of games, starting with Winston-Salem State. After a back-and-forth game, Coastal Carolina got a late touchdown to secure a 28-21 win in the home opener. Nationally-recognized Georgia Southern was next to Brooks Stadium, but the hosts could not find an answer for eventual Payton Award Winner Jayson Foster’s six touchdowns and fell to the Eagles 42-34. Back on the road, Coastal Carolina made its first of two trips to the state of Virginia, taking on James Madison. The Dukes were looking for revenge from the 2005 season when the Chanticleers knocked off the then defending national champion and No. 1 ranked team, and they got it with a 45-10 handling of Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers’ first-ever three-game losing streak became a reality with a 27-17 loss at Furman, but that was as far as it would go. Coastal Carolina got back to its winning ways with a dominating 51-0 victory over visiting Chowan. Future league opponent Presbyterian made its first visit to Brooks Stadium and made it uncomfortable to Coastal Carolina Head Coach and PC alum David Bennett. After a 24-7 Chanticleer lead at the intermission, the Blue Hose rallied to send it to overtime and headed back to Clinton with a 41-34 defeat of Coastal Carolina. The last four games were the battle for the Big South Conference crown, starting with a Homecoming tilt with VMI. A shootout ensued at Brooks Stadium, including a dramatic 85-yard kickoff return that tied the game at 35. Coastal Carolina then got the last shot in, picking up its fifth straight league win with a 42-35 victory over the upstart Keydets. A road battle at Liberty was next on the slate for Coastal Carolina. One of the top teams in the preseason, the Flames used one of their largest crowds of the season to their advantage and snapped Coastal Carolina’s league winning streak with a 37-24 decision over the Chants. Back at home for Senior Day, Coastal Carolina hosted Gardner-Webb in a matchup of the last five Big South champions. On this day, the Chanticleer defense rose to the challenge, limiting the Bulldogs to just 14 points and helping Coastal to a three-point win. The season finale was the annual “Battle of the Beach” with Charleston Southern, this time with Coastal Carolina heading 100 miles down the coast. From the opening kickoff, the Chanticleers dominated play on the host’s Senior Day, putting together the complete effort in a 41-2 shellacking of the Buccaneers and solidifying a runner-up finish in the Big South. Coastal Carolina had 10 players earn All-Big South honors, with six on the first team and four on the second. Three of those earned All-American honors, as Mike Tolbert was named to the Second Team and Jerome Simpson and Marrio Norman were Honorable Mention by the Sports Network. Simpson then became just the second NFL Draft pick in the league’s history when he was taken in the second round by the Cincinnati Bengals. Tolbert then joined him in the league as a free-agent signee of the San Diego Chargers.

Coastal Carolina had its battles throughout the 2008 season, looking to regain the form of the first four years and battle for the Big South Conference crown. Additionally, the Chanticleers made program history with its first foray into the top level of collegiate football. The season opener was historic for Coastal Carolina, as the team opened the season against its first-ever Bowl Championship Subdivision opponent, playing at No. 22 Penn State. In front of more than 106,000 spectators, the Chants hung in for the first quarter-plus, making it a 14-7 game on Trent Usher’s touchdown early in the second quarter. However, the momentum was snapped with a Nittany Lion touchdown on the ensuing kickoff, propelling the hosts to a 66-10 victory. The Chanticleers returned home but weather made a major impact on the schedule for the first time in program history. Tropical Storm Hanna made its way through the Carolinas and forced the game with Colgate to be backed up to Sunday afternoon. That proved to be foreboding, as Coastal Carolina’s first win would get delayed as the visiting Raiders scored a touchdown on a muffed field goal in the final seconds for a 23-19 victory. Coastal Carolina looked to get on the winning track with its first ever trip to New Jersey to take on Monmouth. Looking to snap the Week Three jinx that had them winless in the first five seasons in the third contest, the Chants put points on the board early and posted one of their best defensive efforts of the season in getting a 26-7 victory. Returning to Brooks Stadium for the second home game of the year, the Chanticleers looked for back-to-back victories. After falling behind 3-0 early in the first quarter, Coastal Carolina rallied with 31 unanswered points to down the Tigers, 31-3, and get its first home win of the year. The alternating home-road sequence continued as a road trip to Greensboro, N.C., to take on North Carolina A&T was next on the agenda. On a rainy, chilly Saturday night, Coastal Carolina was able to pull away in the final quarter for a 20-7 win and its third consecutive victory. The Chants returned home to open Big South Conference play, hosting defending champion and No. 20 Liberty. This turned out to be another classic game in the series, as the two teams marched up and down the field in an offensive shootout. However, this one didn’t end up favoring the home team, as the Flames earned a 43-38 victory en route to their second straight Big South crown. Coastal Carolina returned to the road to take on VMI and found itself on the short end of their largest loss in league history, a 47-20 defeat. The Chants then rallied at home for a win over North Carolina Central, 35-10, to level the record at 4-4. A battle with Big South newcomer Stony Brook was next on the docket at Brooks Stadium. The Chanticleers led early in the fourth quarter, but a 69-yard touchdown pass on the ensuing drive put the Seawolves ahead for good in a 28-24 Coastal Carolina loss. A pair of road games were next for the Chants, starting at league-rival Gardner-Webb. A televised battle between the first two Big South champions proved to be a thriller for the fans in the stands and on television. The teams alternated scores, but Coastal Carolina made the most of its scoring chances, getting a 23-18 victory over the host Bulldogs. The Chanticleers then moved to 6-5 with a 21-13 win over future conference foe Presbyterian. The annual season finale against Charleston Southern proved to be another historic event for the Chanticleers, but not how they hoped. The visiting Bucs handed the home team its first-ever shutout loss in 67 games played, winning 24-0. Finishing with a 6-6 mark, the Chanticleers had four players earn First Team All-Big South honors for their play during the year, ending one of the most up-and-down years in the program’s brief history.
