South Alabama vs Coastal Carolina Prediction

Coastal Carolina has fallen off from what it’s been in the past few years, and getting shutout at home by East Carolina is the final confirmation. Coastal Carolina is possibly the worst offense in the country right now, and it’s not like the defense has been much better. I can’t get behind Coastal Carolina with any sort of confidence.

South Alabama is battle tested after playing two conference contenders in Tulane and Auburn, and it was competitive in both games. Coastal Carolina is going nowhere fast. This should be a comfortable win for South Alabama, so I’ll lay the points.
