Chanticleers take on Buffalo Bulls
Coastal will host the University at Buffalo (UB) Bulls at Brooks Stadium on Sept. 17 at 1 p.m.
This marks the second matchup between the Chants and the Bulls, where Coastal won 28-25 last September.
The Chanticleers are off to a 2-0 start this season, led by their high-powered offense who looks to stay hot against a Bulls defense that has given up 68 points in their first two games of the season. Quarterback Grayson McCall has shined so far this year with 482 passing yards, completing 72.3% of his passes on 47 attempts, and a 6:1 TD to interception ratio.
Meanwhile, the Bulls look to improve in all facets of the game after a disappointing start to the season. They struggled to get anything going in week one and lost on a last second TD to the Holy Cross Crusaders in week two. Transfer quarterback Cole Snyder looked much more comfortable in his second start, throwing for 305 yards and three TDs.
Both teams underwent significant roster changes in the offseason. The Chants only returned six total starters, and Buffalo lost seven of their 11 starters on offense, including their quarterback, Kyle Vantrease. Back-to-back Sun Belt Player of the Year McCall was one of returning starters as he looks to build on his legendary career.
