  12/10/20 - CJ Marable, rSr/2021, Coastal Carolina, 5-07, 195 (DS#24 RB) + More +

  Senior running back C.J. Marable has moved into second place on the all-time CCU career rushing list, and he's only getting stronger this season. The quick and shifty 5-10, 200-pound senior passed Aundres Perkins (2003-06, 2,343 yards) to move into second with 2,528 rushing yards in less than three full seasons at CCU, and trails former NFL RB De'Angelo Henderson, who had 4,635 yards in four seasons from 2013-16. Marable, who gained more than 1,000 yards as a freshman at Presbyterian before transferring, did much of the damage against BYU, rushing for 132 yards on 23 carries with two rushing TDs. - Myrtle Beach Online

  2020 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY FINALIST: Tarron Jackson, DE, Coastal Carolina (6-2, 260, Sr., Aiken, S.C.): Jackson leads the Chanticleers' defense with 8.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss and is fifth on the team with 44 total tackles with 15 quarterback hurries. He is a three-time Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week, spearheading a defense that has a nose for the ball with 32.0 sacks (fifth nationally) and 66.0 TFL's this season. Teams run to the other side away from this team captain who is Coastal's career leader in sacks (26.5), TFL's (43.0) and hurries (31) as well as yards lost from those stops. The 10-0 Chanticleers' rise to their first national ranking, first division championship, first wins (two) over nationally-ranked teams and first 10-win season has his footprint on it, as do opposing backfields. Jackson is Coastal Carolina's first Nagurski Trophy finalist and the first in Sun Belt Conference history. Jackson, together with Collins, gives Group of Five schools six all-time Nagurski Trophy finalists; it's also the the first time that two non-Power 5 finalists have been so recognized in the same season. - Football Writers Association of America/Charlotte Touchdown Club

  DEC 7 SUN BELT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jeffrey Gunter, Coastal Carolina,(#94, Jr, Bandit - Durham, N.C.),...Redshirt junior Jeffrey Gunter played a key role in a balanced defensive attack that held the high-powered BYU offense to just 17 points. It was a season-low for the Cougars who were averaging 47.6 points per game which ranked fourth nationally. Gunter was one of six Chanticleers with five tackles or more in the win finishing with six tackles, one tackle-for-loss, a forced a fumble, plus a quarterback hurry. Saturday night's win over No. 8 BYU is Coastal Carolinas best ever victory in terms of the opponents FBS ranking. The win was the Chants second-ever over a top-25 nationally-ranked opponent with both wins coming this year (30-27 win over then-No. 21 Louisiana on Oct. 14.) The Chants' 10-0 start is the best start by any football team in Sun Belt Conference history. - Sun Belt Football

  12/05/20 - CJ Marable, rSr/2021, Coastal Carolina, 5-07, 195 (DS#24 RB) + More +

  Mateo Sudipo stopped BYU's Dax Milne at the 1-yard line as time expired and No. 14 Coastal Carolina beat the eighth-ranked Cougars 22-17 in short-notice showdown of 9-0 teams Saturday night. The Cougars (9-1, No. 13 CFP) were a late-week fill-in, traveling more than 2,200 miles to the South Carolina coast and eagerly stepping after No. 25 Liberty had to back out of the game Thursday due to COVID-19 concerns. It sure looked like an uphill climb for Coastal (10-0), the Sun Belt East champs, as BYU entered with one of the game's most dynamic passers in Zach Wilson and the fourth-highest scoring offense in the country at more than 47 points a game.

But the Chanticleers controlled the clock with three long touchdown drives and made plays when it counted - none bigger than when the freshman safety Sudipo corralled Milne a few steps from the end zone. It will go down as a 17-yard completion, but the Cougars needed 18 on their final play. That sealed Coastal Carolina's biggest victory in the program's four FBS seasons. Wilson was 19 of 30 for 240 yards, a touchdown and an interception. The Cougars defense, which had allowed less than 90 yards rushing a game coming in, was pounded by Coastal Carolina for 281 yards. CJ Marable rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns for the Chanticleers. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football

  The junior has emerged as perhaps CCU's most dangerous playmaker to help the Chants (9-0) reach No. 18 in the College Football Playoff ranking, and he is expected to have an opportunity to prove himself in the NFL when he chooses to leave school. "He's a special, special player. We think he's a next level player," CCU head coach Jamey Chadwell said. "He's 6-4, 250 and he runs really well. He's very gifted from a standpoint of being able to run and being very physical and strong, just a natural strength. He's got great hands. "The way the NFL is and the way they use tight ends I do think he has a good shot of having a chance to continue his playing career beyond college. He has that type of skill set."

Likely has 17 receptions for 423 yards and four TDs in eight games this season - which are all second or third on the team - for an average of 24.9 yards per catch, which is in the top five in the country. His production has come despite missing a game and otherwise playing through an undisclosed lower body injury that will require surgery after the season, according to Likely and Chadwell. "He's got a lot of toughness," Chadwell said. "He was banged up and we're trying to work him back in slowly and the last couple weeks he's gotten accustomed to his injury and playing through the pain, and he's had two really big games the last couple weeks and he's a huge part of our offense. He makes us very dynamic." - Myrtle Beach Online

  Georgia State wide receiver Sam Pinckney has been added to the 2020 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, as announced Monday by the The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of this prestigious award. Pinckney, the redshirt sophomore from Greenwood, S.C., leads the Panthers with 44 receptions for 753 yards (17.1 yards per catch) and six touchdowns in nine games, ranking among the Sun Belt Conference leaders in all four categories. In Saturday's 30-24 comeback victory over Georgia Southern, Pinckney had a career-high 10 receptions for 126 yards, along with a 2-point conversion catch that gave the Panthers a three-point lead with three minutes left. That performance followed his 176-yard outing one game earlier at South Alabama as he combined for 15 receptions and 302 yards in the two wins. - Georgia State Football

  Coastal Carolina junior wide receiver Jaivon Heiligh has been added to the 2020 Biletnikoff Award watch list, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, announced on Monday. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver.

In his third season at Coastal Carolina, Heiligh once again leads the team in receptions with 41, receiving yards with 682, and receiving touchdowns with eight. He is averaging 16.6 yards per catch this season and has twice hauled in two touchdown passes in the same game in wins over Georgia State (Oct. 31) and Texas State (Nov. 28). The Florida native posted back-to-back 100-yard receiving games with 108 yards at Louisiana (Oct. 14) and 107 yards in the win over Georgia Southern (Oct. 24) and has caught at least one pass in 24-straight games dating back to his freshman season in 2018. - Coastal Carolina Football

  11/28/20 - CJ Marable, rSr/2021, Coastal Carolina, 5-07, 195 (DS#24 RB) + More +

  C.J. Marable ran for 157 yards and three touchdowns and No. 16 Coastal Carolina wrapped up the Sun Belt Conference East Division title with a 49-14 victory over Texas State on Saturday. The Chanticleers (9-0, 7-0) had 572 yards of offense in extending their winning streak to 10 games. They moved up to the Football Bowl Subdivision three seasons ago. Texas State (2-10, 2-6) closed its sixth straight losing season. It was the second-most points the Bobcats have allowed in regulation this season. Texas State held a moment of silence for sophomore defensive back Khambrail Winters, who was fatally shot Tuesday what the San Marcos Police Department said was a drug deal gone wrong.

Coastal took command early at Bobcat Stadium, scoring touchdowns on its first two possessions route to a 35-7 lead at the half. The Chants drove 81 yards on their opening possession for the game's first touchdown. Marable had five rushes for 67 yards in the seven-play drive, including a 14-yard scoring run 1:14 into the game. The senior running back followed that with a 9-yard scoring run on Coastal's second possession. The 45-yard drive was set up when Chants junior safety Alex Spillum forced and recovered a fumble. It was Texas State's fourth fumble of the season. Marable added a 23-yeard scoring run two minutes into the third quarter. He closed with 16 carries, averaging 9.8 yards per attempt. The Chants rushed for 406 yards and five touchdowns. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football

  If you saw Coastal Carolina junior cornerback D'Jordan Strong during the team's break from football activities due to the coronavirus in the spring and early summer, chances are he was carrying and tossing a football. Strong joined the Chanticleers from Northeast Mississippi Community College in January, in time for CCU's early spring practices in February and early March. During those sessions, defensive backs coach Bryant Foster was impressed with Strong's ability to cover wide receivers, and he also noted that Strong was dropping the ball a lot. Strong had just one interception in two years of JUCO football - though he notes he had a 100-yard interception return negated by a penalty - while playing predominantly single man-to-man coverage.

"I used to drop a lot of balls in the spring, and coach Foster texted me when coronavirus was going on big-time and said, 'Hey man, don't think I'm being funny, but you get you a football and just walk around and throw it in the air and catch it and see how it feels. Man, you could lead the conference in interceptions this season and be a first-team Sun Belt cornerback because you've got the ability to do it. If you just do this one little thing you've got potential to be something,' " Strong recalled. "That's what I did, and now I've got five interceptions and that's crazy because coach Foster called it." - Myrtle Beach Online
