Coastal Carolina Scores 38 Straight on Fordham
Fordham tied it at 7-7 in the second quarter. Coastal Carolina scored the next 38 points. That is the whole game, and it ended 45-7.
The Chanticleers opened with a 5-yard Dominic Knicely run, Fordham's Gunnar Smith answered with a 6-yard pass to Nodin Tracy at 13:09 of the second, and then it was over. Deuce Bailey threw three touchdown passes in a span of about 10 minutes of game clock: 65 yards to Colton Hinton, 23 to Robby Washington, 12 to Clayton Coppock Jr. with 39 seconds left in the half. That made it 28-7 at the break.
The second half was more of the same, with a better excuse for it. Knicely scored again from 18 yards, Nico Cavanillas Alti kicked a 56-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the third, and Jaden Allen-Hendrix ran in from 5 yards in the fourth. Coastal Carolina finished with 462 yards, 253 of them on the ground on 39 carries, and sacked Fordham four times.
Bailey was only 12 of 25 for 203 yards, which is not much of a passing line for three touchdowns, but 65 of those yards came on one play. The Chanticleers are 1-1 after a week-one loss, and Fordham is 0-2.
For fantasy, Bailey's 28.2 led the way, with Knicely (19.5) and Hinton (19.1) close behind. Knicely had 2 carries all season before this game and left it with two touchdowns, so check your waiver wire. Coastal Carolina went back in front 14-7 at 11:11 of the second quarter, and the lead only grew from there.
