Coastal coach Jamey Chadwell said on Friday that it will be a game-time decision on McCall, who has missed the past two games due to a foot injury. On Thursday, McCall was named the Sun Belt Player of the Year for the second straight season. The redshirt junior has completed 168-of-244 passes for 2,314 yards and 21 touchdowns this season, while rushing for another 165 yards and four scores.
Troy coach Jon Sumrall, who was named the Sun Belt Coach of the Year on Thursday, says the Coastal offense doesn’t change much schematically no matter who the quarterback is. Should McCall not be able to play, junior Jarrett Guest and senior Bryce Carpenter are waiting in the wings. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot here lately,” Stidham said. “It really has flown by. We’re blessed to be in a community and in a town that supports this football program through the hard times, and through the good times.
With a victory, Coastal would join Alabama and Clemson as the only programs nationally with three straight 10-win seasons. It would also mark the first time the road team has won in the five-year history of the SBC championship game. The Chanticleers lost their regular-season finale at James Madison, 47-7. Coastal hasn’t lost back-to-back games since 2019.Troy goes after its seventh Sun Belt title, but the first since the championship game was initiated in 2018. A Troy victory would also snap a string of three-straight one-possession losses to Coastal Carolina and would keep the home team undefeated in the five-year history of the Hercules Tires Sun Belt Football Championship.
