The Sun Belt Conference football championship game Saturday between No. 9 Coastal Carolina and No. 17 Louisiana-Lafayette was canceled Thursday night because of a positive COVID-19 test within the Coastal Carolina program. An entire position group would have been unavailable to play for the unbeaten Chanticleers because of contact tracing, the conference said. "We are very disappointed that the championship game cannot be played, but we are so proud of all of the players and staff members and their hard work during this truly challenging season," Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill said in a statement. "We will honor both teams as 2020 Sun Belt Conference Co-Champions." Both schools were in contention for a New Year's Six bowl spot with a victory in the first Sun Belt title game featuring a matchup of ranked teams. Coastal Carolina (11-0, 8-0, No. 12 CFP), the Sun Belt's first top 10 team, was set to host Louisiana-Lafayette (9-1, 7-1 No. 19 CFP). - AP College Football

2020 BURLSWORTH TROPHY SEMIFINALIST: Sammy Thompson, Coastal Carolina University, Center, SR - Sammy started 10 contests in 2019, lining up at center for a CCU offense that recorded over 400 yards in 5 different games. Behind the offensive line unit, the Chants were an incredible 23-for-29 on 4th down attempts. Thompson also graded out at 90 percent or higher in 8 games during that year. In 2020, Sammy has started every game for the undefeated and nationally ranked Chants. He is a leader on the offensive line that has helped Coastal Carolina to the #1 scoring offense in the Sun Belt Conference. - Burlsworth Trophy

12/10/20 - CJ Marable, rSr/2021, Coastal Carolina + 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

12/09/20 - Tarron Jackson, rSr/2021, Coastal Carolina + More +

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
