This is a 10* TOP PLAY on Coastal Carolina.

It's the Tailgreeter Cure Bowl on Friday night. The Huskies are off a 41-23 win over Kent State as four-point underdogs, while the Chanticleers are off a 27-21 victory over South Alabama.

The Huskies finished the season 9-4. NIU averages 31.5 PPG, but it concedes 34.3. Rocky Lombardi has 2,416 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while Jay Ducker has 1,038 rushing yards and three TD's.

Coastal Carolina averages 39.4 PPG, while allowing just 20.5. QB Grayson McCall has 2,558 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and three interceptions.

NIU has the nation's fifth best running game, but it averages less than 200 yards passing per contest. The problem for the Huskies here is that the Chanticleers have one of the best run defenses in the nation.

CC is also great offensively, sporting a sixth ranked run game. And that's bad news for a NIU team that is allowing over 200 yards per game on average on the ground.

This one is going to be completely lop-sided once the final whistle sounds.

Lay the points, the play is COASTAL CAROLINA.

Good luck, NP
