Campbell 21, Coastal Carolina 43
CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina rushed for four touchdowns, passed for two, and scored on six of its 10 offensive series to cruise to a 43-21 win over the Campbell Fighting Camels in front of the max capacity allowed of 5,000 fans in its 2020 home opener at Brooks Stadium.
 
The win pushes Coastal to 2-0 to start the season, their best start since 2016, and to 2-0 all-time versus Campbell. The Fighting Camels fall to 0-2 on the year.
 
Coastal is now 14-4 in program history in home openers and have won five-straight non-conference games dating back to last season.
 
The Chanticleers offense totaled 466 yards of offense on the night, including 193 on the ground and 273 through the air. CCU averaged 8.8 yards per play and did not turn the ball over for the second-straight game.
 
It started up front for the offense, as the Chants' offensive line did not allow a sack for the second-straight game, nor did they surrender a tackle-for-loss.
