#123 ASA PLAY ON 8* Georgia State +10.5 over Coastal Carolina, Saturday at 2 PM ET - The big news here centers around QB Grayson McCall of Coastal Carolina who is out with an injured shoulder. McCall had led the Chanticleers to the 6th best completion percentage in the nation and an offense that was averaging 43.3PPG before his injury. Last week without McCall, Coastal managed just 28-points against Georgia Southern which ranks 99th in the nation in points allowed per game and 113th in yards given up per game. Coastal Carolina’s rush defense is 33rd in the nation allowing 129.9YPG but that unit is slightly overrated considering they’ve faced 5 rush offenses that rank 74th or worse. The Chanticleers will struggle to stop a Georgia State offense that is 12th in the nation in rushing at 222.3YPG. Coastal will lean on their rushing attack here too with a unit that averages 225YPG on the ground, but the Georgia State rush D isn’t as bad as their numbers would indicate. The Panthers have faced five rushing offenses that rank 32nd or better including #1 ranked Army. The Panthers are coming off a close 4-point loss against UL Lafayette and have covered 4 in a row. We predict a one score game here.
