Undefeated Coastal Carolina Rolls Against Georgia State, But At A Cost

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers continued their undefeated start with a 42-24 victory over Georgia State Thursday evening. The Chants have won four in four games for a third consecutive season, while the Panthers lost their fourth in four for the first time since 2016.

The game was a homecoming of sorts for CCU’s Sam Pinckney. Pinckney caught seven passes, the most on either team, and finished with 77 yards against the Panthers, whom he played for from 2018 to 2021.

Pinckney’s game was overshadowed by his teammate Jared Brown. Brown caught five passes from QB Grayson McCall for 129 yards and two touchdowns, his second and third career scores.
