The Mountaineers have won each of the previous three meetings, all of which have been played in Boone. • App State and Georgia Southern (who also owns a 3-0 advantage over CCU) are the only two Sun Belt schools Coastal has played prior to this sea- son. All of those previous three meetings were while App, Georgia Southern and Coastal were members of the FCS. • The first meeting between Coastal was in 2005, the Chanticleers’ third season of foot- ball. While Coastal lost that game 30-3 in week three of the season, it was one week after beating then #1 James Madison and the loss snapped a 10-game win streak by CCU. Coastal went on to win seven straight prior to being upset in the season finale. • The second meeting was in the first round of 2006 NCAA playoffs. Then #1 Appalachian State won 45-28, snapped an eight-game CCU winning streak and went on to win the national championship. • The last time CCU and App met was 2012, the first year of the Joe Moglia era. After a 2-0 start that season, Coastal was handed a crushing 55-14 loss by then #16 App State and that loss would prove the be a turning point in the Moglia era. • While CCU lost the following week — a 37-21 hard-fought defeat to then #11 Stony Brook— and fall to 2-4, Coastal won its last six in 2012 before being beat in the second round of the NCAA playoffs. • Overall after that 2-4 start in 2012: - Coastal would go on to win 45 of its final 50 regular-season games versus FCS op- ponents through the end of 2016. - Coastal would be be ranked #1 in the FCS 10 weeks and end its FCS run ranked among the top 25 for 59 consecutive weeks (final pol of 2012 through final poll of 2016). - Reach the NCAA FCS playoffs four times —2012, ‘13, ‘14 and ‘15 (not eligible in ‘16). COASTAL HOPING TO FOLLOW APP’S LEAD • Like Coastal Carolina this season, Appalachian State was also 1-5 to start its first sea- son as a member of the Sun Belt in 2014. The Mountaineers won its final six games that season to finish 7-5 overall, while going 6-2 in the Sun Belt to finish third. • Since that 1-5 start, App has gone 27-5 overall and 20-2 in the league.

A message from Coach Moglia on taking a medical sabbatical for 2017:this is something i want to share personally. For three years now, i have had a bron-
chial asthmatic reaction to allergies, which causes inflammation around my lungs. The inflammation restricts the lungs, which could create a serious breathing problem.
i want to be clear: i do not have a disease and i am in no danger, but i did need to get this addressed.
Dr. David DeCenzo, our president, has offered me a five-month medical sabbatical for this fall and i am set to return once the season is over.
The doctors and I are confident that this will take care of the problem, and i will be 100% ready to go by the end of the season.
Deciding this was very difficult emotionally but I don’t believe one should never make an important decision based on emotion.
i believe i made a smart decision that will have a positive impact on my health over the span of the next 20 years. The price I pay for that is a sacrifice these next few months.
i appointed Jamey Chadwell as our interim Head Coach for this season. While he will have full discretion, he is fully expected to build on our philosophy, processes, and BAM standard, which is what differentiates us from other programs and are our competitive advantages.
I recognize most coaches wouldn’t make this decision, but I’m not like most coaches and i very much believe i am making a smart long-term decision in exchange for a near-term sacrifice.
My full intent is to be back when the season is over and continue my coaching career.thanks so much for your support.Chants Up!Joe

Jamey Chadwell was named Coastal Carolina’s associate head coach and offensive coordinator in January of 2017. On July 28, 2017, Chadwell was named interim head coach for the season as Joe Moglia announced he would be taking a five-month medical sabbatical.
Chadwell spent the previous four seasons as head coach at Charleston Southern, where he finished fourth in the FCS National Coach of the Year vot-ing in 2015 and eighth in 2013. He was named Big South Coach of the Year three times (2013, 2015 and 2016), led CSU to conference titles in 2015 and 2016 and guided the Buccaneers to the NCAA Division I FCS Championship Playoffs in each of the last two years.
Chadwell was a four-year letterman at ETSU (1996-99) and was a two-year team captain for the Buccaneers. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics and business education in May 2000 from East Tennessee State. He also completed his Masters in Business Administration from Charleston Southern in May 2006. He earned both degrees while posting a 3.3 or higher cumulative GPA.

• This season, Coastal is playing football as a full member of the Sun Belt Conference and can compete for the Sun Belt Championship. However, Coastal is not eligible to earn the Sun Belt’s automatic bowl berth.
CoAstAl piCked lAst bY CoAChes; better bY MediA• Coastal was picked to finish last in the league by the Sun Belt coaches while Evan Rabon (second team
punter) was the only Chanticleer named to the coaches’ preseason all-conference team.• USA TODAY picked Coastal to finish 6-6 for the season and 4-4 in the league to tie for sixth• Athlon Magazine was not as kind, predicting a 4-8 overall record and 2-6 in the league to tie for ninth.
Athlon put five members of the Chants on its 2017 preseason All-Sun Belt team, including Chris Jones (second team, punt returner), Adam Lawhorn (third team, offensive line), Evan Rabon (third team, punt-er), Osharmar Abercrombie (fourth team, running back) and Shane Johnson (fourth team, linebacker).
losing streAk reAChes 5• Coastal’s current five-game losing streak is a program high since starting football for the 2003 season.• The rpevious long losing streak was after a 2-0 start to begin the Joe Moglia era in 2012. After that 2-4
start, Coastal won six straight before losing in the second round of the FCS playoffs.
however....• Despite riding a five-game losing streak, Coastal is 45-12 (.798) over its last 57 regular season games
since that 2-4 start in 2012.• Of those 12 regular season losses over its last 57 regular-season games, nine have been by one posses-
sion or less for a total of 48 points (4.4 avg.) – including three one-point losses.• If you throw in eight FCS playoff games since that four-game losing streak in 2012, Coastal is 49-16 (.754)
over its last 65 games overall (including a 4-4 FCS playoff record).
inJUries, keAne, deMos, kUbAlA And lAwhorn• Four Chants left the Arkansas State game with injuries. - QB Tyler Keane was injured late in the second quarter and missed the entire second half at Arkansas
State. He injured his non-throwing shoulder and is probable for App State. - QB Dalton Demos was injured (head) while scoring his 1-yard TD on the first play of the second quarter
and did not return. He will be out for App State. - Long snapper Connor Kubala, who has handled every snap on punt, PAT and FG since the start of the
2015 season, injured his knee at Arkansas State. He did play with the injury at A-State but will require surgery and is out for App State.
- Left guard Adma Lawhorn was injured in the second half at Arkansas State. He had played in 38 of CCU’s 30 games since the start of 2014 and owns the longest streak by a current Chant with 18 consec-utive starts. He is questionable for App State.
• QB Chance Thrasher was injured on CCU’s first play from scrimmage at ULM. He sustained a knee injury but will not require surgery. He will be out for at least three more weeks.
redshirt bUrned For FrAnklin• True freshman offensive lineman Jack Franklin had to burn his redshirt sesaon in game six at Arkansas
State. Due to an injury to Adam Lawhorn, Franklin stepped at left guard during the second half and re-corded two knockdown blocks in his debut.

The first phase boosts Brooks Stadium seating capacity to 15,000 and in-cludes adding seats to both corners of the end zone nearest the field house, ex-panding the sections closest to the field on both sides toward the scoreboard, and expanding the upper deck on the east side to match the length on the lower deck. Prior to the 2018 season, a second level and premium suites will be add-ed to the west side. The cost of the two-phase project is $31.8 million.
The Coastal Carolina University football stadium officially opened as Brooks Stadium on Sept. 6, 2003, for the inaugural game of the Chanticleerfootballprogram.Scoringatouchdownwithjustsecondsleft on the clock, the Chanticleers beat Newberry College 21-14. The initial Phase I of the stadium construction in 2002 included 6,408 seats, while Phase II added almost 1,000 additional seats prior to the 2006 season. A third phase of Brooks Stadium was completed in 2010 when approximately 1,600 seats were added directly behind the north end zone. Brooks Stadium was designed and built with the capability to expand from its inception. That original design is coming to fruition as Coastal embarked on another two-phase expansion in the spring of 2017 that will ultimately bring capacity to approximately 20,000. The facility underwent amajor transformation in the spring of2015 as Benton Field went from natural grass to artificial teal turf ... or “The Surf Turf.” The first pieces of Powerblade SD turf were then laidonApril2andtheprojectwascompletedlaterthatmonth.Theprojecthadabudgetof$1.2million

CONWAY — Osharmar Abercrombie rushed for a career-high 149 yards and scored twice to lead Coastal Carolina to a 38-28 victory over UMass in the Chanticleers’ first game as members of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Sun Belt Conference. The win was CCU’s first over an FBS program, going 0-7 in such games previously. Abercrombie, who had his second career 100-yard game, averaged 8.8 yards on his 17 carries. Overall, Coastal Carolina rushed for 342 yards. Quarterback Dalton Demos also scored twice in his return to Coastal. The game was tied at 21-21 after UMass scored on its opening drive of the third quarter. However, Coastal reeled of 17 unanswered to cruise to the win. Coastal was forced to punt on its opening drive, but the defense created a turnover early on UMass’s opening drive and gave the Chants the ball on the UMass 17. Four plays later, Demos crashed his way up the middle to give the Chants a 7-0 lead. The Minutemen answered right back with a four-play, 72-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7. Andrew Ford connected with tight end Adam Breneman for gains of 37 and 14 yards before Marquis Young capped the drive with a four-yard rush around left end. After the teams traded punts, Coastal regained a seven-point advantage, 14-7, with 47 seconds left in the first quarter as Demos kept the ball on a misdirection play and ran un-touched 22 yards to the end zone. UMass once again tied the game, 14-14, with 10:37 left in the second quarter as Ford hit Andy Isabella in the right corner for a 21-yard touchdown. Late in the second quarter, Coastal made three big stops on one drive, including sacks from Myles White and Tarron Jackson, to force UMass to punt from its own one. Abercrombie had 17-yard run and later scored from four yards out to give Coastal a 21-14 lead with 51 seconds left before the break.
