  Backup quarterback Fred Payton three three touchdown passes and No. 25 Coastal Carolina won its first game as a ranked team with a 28-14 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday. The Chanticleers (5-0, 3-0 Sun Belt Conference) played without starting passer Grayson McCall, who had an upper body injury. But Payton threw of a 24-yard TD pass to running back C.J.

A turnover on downs by Georgia Southern and late interception by Strong sealed the win. Coastal Carolina has won three Sun Belt games in a season for the first time in its four years since moving up from the Football Championship Subdivison. - AP College Football
