News and Notes From Opening Win at South Carolina State • Coastal Carolina scored 15 unanswered in the second half to beat South Carolina State. Coastal was about to go down 11 as South Carolina State lined up for a 39-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. However, LaDarius Hawthorne blocked the kick and Quinn Backus returned it 56 yards. CCU added a 2-point play to tie the game. On the ensuing drive, CCU held SC State on 1st-and-goal from the CCU 4 yard line, forcing the turnover with a stop on 4th-and-1 from the 1 yard line. CCU’s Lorenzo Taliaferro picked up 16 yards from his own one on the first play and CCU would march 99 yards in 16 plays to take a 27-20 lead and ultimately hold on for the win. • While CCU’s defense had some struggles through the first two-plus quarters, the unit forced two punts, blocked a field goal and forced a turnover on downs in each of SC State’s final six drives. One of those turnovers on downs came with SC State facing 1st-and-goal from the CCU four. (After that stop, CCU drove 99 yards to score what proved to be the winning TD.) • Coastal Carolina improved to 3-0 versus South Carolina State, including two wins on the road, with wins in 2005, 2006 and 2013 • Coastal Carolina improved to 6-5 all-time in season openers and has now won each of its last three season openers. When opening the season on the road, Coastal is now 3-4, losing four straight (2007, ’08, ’09 and ’10) before winning last Saturday at SC State. • Coastal Carolina improved to 15-1 versus the MEAC. CCU’s lone loss was a 23-18 loss at Delaware State in the 2007 season opener. • Coastal Carolina is now 1-1 in games played in August. CCU opened the 2008 season on Aug. 30 with a 66-10 loss at #22 Penn State. • For just the third time in school history (entering season 11), Coastal Carolina had a 99- yard scoring drive. Ironically, all three have come on the road and CCU sophomore quarterback Alex Ross has engineered two as he also accomplished the feat in his lone start last season at Gardner-Webb. CCU also had a 99-yard drive in 2010 at VMI. The drive took 16 plays, the second-most amount of plays during a CCU drive in school history. CCU had a record 17-play drive versus Liberty in 2008 (covered 48 yards and ended in a 42-yard field goal).

CONWAY — Lorenzo Taliaferro and De’Angelo Henderson each ran for more than 100 yards to lead #3/6 Coastal Carolina to a 50-25 Homecoming win over Charlotte. Henderson actually broke the barrier first and finished with 117 yards and a score, while Taliaferro powered his way to 139 yards and three scores. With his three rushing touchdowns, Taliaferro ties the Big South single-season record, now with 21. Alex Ross returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous week with injury to complete 16-of-22 passes for 237 yards and two scores. Coastal finished the game with 621 yards of total offense – the fifth highest offensive output in Chanticleer history. Defensively, Coastal held its opponent to a touchdown or less in the second half for the sixth time this season. After missing a field goal on its opening drive, Coastal got on the scoreboard on its second drive as Ross completed passes of 21 and 16 yards to Niccolo Mastromatteo and Matt Hazel, respectively, to get in scoring range. A holding call negated a CCU score, but four plays later Taliaferro scored from nine yards out to give CCU a 7-0 lead. Charlotte converted three third downs on the ensuing drive before Blake Brewer was called on to kick a 30-yard field goal to cut the 49er deficit to four, 7-3. Devin Brown made a highlight-reel, 50-yard return to the Charlotte 49 and a face-mask penalty on the drive allowed Coastal to start 34 yard from paydirt. Six plays later, Ross hit Hazel for a five-yard score and 14-3 lead. Charlotte responded with seven-play drive that took just 1:43 off the clock to start the second quarter. Matt Johnson had two, 19-yard completions and added a nine-yard touchdown run. Mark Pettit added the two-point conversion to make the score 14-11. Brown answered with another exciting kick return, this one for 39 yards, and another personal foul gave Coastal the ball on the 39. On the next play, Ross hit DeMario Bennett on stride for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Charlotte threatened on the next drive before Johnnie Houston picked off a pass at the CCU one yard line. Coastal worked its way to the Charlotte 11 before Alex Catron came on to split the uprights from 29 yards out to give Coastal a 24-11 lead. The 49ers bounced back with a seven-play scoring drive to make the score 24-18. The drive was highlighted by a 15-yard Johnson completion and a 17-yard Kalif Phillips run. A CCU penalty moved Charlotte to the CCU 14 and Alan Barwell capped the drive with an eight-yard rushing score. Undaunted, Coastal quickly marched down the field thanks to three-straight first down Ross com- pletions – two to Thomas Pauciello and one to Mastromatteo. Taliaferro scored for the second time of half and would provide the halftime score of 30-18. To open the second half, Coastal took the kickoff and used 12 plays to cover 76 yards to take a 36-18 lead. Henderson did most of the damage, gaining 35 yards including a two-yard touchdown. Coastal opened the fourth quarter with Taliaferro scoring his third TD of the game to tie the Big South record and give CCU a 43-18 lead. After a three-and-out, Coastal used 10 plays to take a 50-18 lead thanks to a two-yard Brian Kass TD run. Charlotte’s Phillips capped the day’s scoring with a two-yard plunge with 4:53 left in the game.
