Coastal Carolina University will host Arkansas State University this Saturday in a Sun Belt Conference football matchup at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina. The game is set to kick off at 12:00 p.m. CST (1:00 p.m. EST) and will be streamed on ESPN+.
The Chanticleers (3-6, 2-3 Sun Belt) are coming off a 21-8 loss to Old Dominion and are eager to break a four-game home losing streak. This will also serve as their Senior Day and a Salute to Service event in their final home game of the season.
Arkansas State (4-5, 2-3 Sun Belt), meanwhile, enters the contest following a tightly contested 19-17 loss to ULM. The Red Wolves will look to secure a win on the road as they fight to even their overall record.
Coastal Carolina has held the upper hand in this matchup in recent years, winning three straight against Arkansas State. Head coach Tim Beck’s Chanticleers will rely on redshirt freshman quarterback Deuce Bailey, who has shown promise despite recent turnover issues.
Arkansas State, under head coach Butch Jones, will look to quarterback Trey Owens to lead the offense. In the team's loss to ULM, Owens threw for 193 yards and ran for an additional 67 yards, demonstrating his dual-threat capability.
With both teams holding 2-3 conference records, Saturday’s game could play a key role in how the Sun Belt standings shape up as the season winds down.
