Game Overview
This Sun Belt Conference matchup features Georgia Southern Eagles hosting Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in a crucial late-season contest. Georgia Southern enters as 2-point home favorites despite holding a 4-5 record, while Coastal Carolina brings a 5-3 record into Statesboro. Both teams are battling for bowl eligibility in the final weeks of the regular season. Georgia Southern recently secured a significant road victory against Appalachian State (25-23), while Coastal Carolina dominated Georgia State (40-27) in their most recent outing.
Key Factors to Consider
- Georgia Southern has shown improvement recently, winning 2 of their last 3 games after a rough 2-4 start. The Eagles averaged 494 yards against App State and demonstrated defensive resilience in securing that road victory. Coastal Carolina maintains a more consistent record at 5-3 but has shown vulnerability against top competition. The Chanticleers held their opponent to just 130 rushing yards on 37 attempts (3.5 yards per carry) against Georgia State, indicating a strong defensive performance.
- Georgia Southern defeated Coastal Carolina 1-0 in their previous meeting on October 17, 2025, suggesting the Eagles have recent success against this opponent and may carry psychological momentum into this matchup.
- No specific injury information available in current data for either team.
- This game is part of Georgia Southern's 'Salute to Service' theme. Georgia Southern is playing at home with fan support, which historically provides an advantage. The 6:00 PM kickoff time favors neither team significantly but allows for potential weather considerations typical of November in Georgia.
- Both teams are in critical positions for bowl eligibility. Georgia Southern at 4-5 needs wins to reach the typical 6-win bowl threshold, making this a must-win scenario. Coastal Carolina at 5-3 is in a stronger position but cannot afford losses to teams they're expected to beat. The home-field advantage provides Georgia Southern with additional motivation and crowd support.
