Chanticleers chicanery and a freshman quarterback lead CCU to a win over Louisiana

During Coastal Carolina’s 12 consecutive days on the road, it appears the team’s coaching staff had some time to think of a play that could win a game – an unlikely play to Isaiah Likely.

With its starting senior quarterback out with an injury and its 16-point lead cut to two points, CCU dug deep into its playbook for some Chanticleer chicanery at the Cajundome in Lafayette, La., on Saturday night.

An end-around, reverse flea flicker culminated in a 29-yard touchdown pass from freshman QB Bryce Carpenter to fellow freshman Likely that reestablished a two-score lead in the fourth quarter and helped the Chants defeat Louisiana-Lafayette 30-28.
