CONWAY, S.C. (Interstat) — Georgia Southern visits Coastal Carolina on Saturday for an NCAA Football Bowl Division game at Brooks Stadium. The Eagles and Chanticleers both enter with 1-3 records. Georgia Southern is the visiting team, while Coastal Carolina is the home team.

Georgia Southern has lost three straight after opening with a 31-0 win over Charleston Southern. The Eagles fell at Clemson 22-7, at Jacksonville State 31-27 and most recently to Houston 42-28 at home. In that Houston loss, Max Johnson completed 26 of 38 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns. Weston Bryan completed 1 of 1 for 5 yards and ran six times for 25 yards, while David Mbadinga ran six times for 37 yards.

Johnson is a player to watch for Georgia Southern. In his most recent outing, he threw for 284 yards and three scores. Earlier this season, he completed 28 of 39 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown against Charleston Southern. His passing has been a central part of the Eagles’ offense.

Coastal Carolina opened with a 31-24 loss at West Virginia, then beat Fordham 45-7, lost at Delaware 22-14 and fell to Liberty 34-17 in its most recent game. Deuce Bailey is a player to watch for the Chanticleers. Against Liberty, Bailey completed 17 of 34 passes for 213 yards, ran 15 times for 31 yards and accounted for two touchdowns. At Delaware, he completed 16 of 26 passes for 250 yards, ran 12 times for 42 yards and scored twice.

Dominic Lee-Knicely also contributed in the Liberty game, running five times for 25 yards. Coastal Carolina will look to balance its offense behind Bailey and its running game as it tries to move back to .500.

Georgia Southern will aim to end its losing streak and even its record. The Eagles’ defense will face a Coastal Carolina offense that has shown big-play ability through Bailey. The Chanticleers will try to protect home field at Brooks Stadium and build momentum in the Bowl Division matchup.

Both programs remain in the early portion of their conference schedules. Georgia Southern’s upcoming slate also includes Appalachian State, Marshall, Georgia State, Troy and Louisiana Tech.
