De'Angelo Henderson scored for the 29th straight game as his 4-yard run pulled Coastal Carolina (2-1) within two at 20-18 midway through the third and extended his NCAA D-I record. The Chanticleers took the lead when Tyler Keane found Laquay Brown for a 9-yard score early in the fourth.

Ryan Granger's 51-yard field goal attempt for Coastal Carolina came up short with 2:27 left to play.
