How they play
Coastal Carolina fields a capable explosive, big-play offense behind a leaky, bend-don't-break defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Coastal Carolina reads strongest in explosive plays (top 10%) and explosive plays allowed (top 17%); the crux lives in passing EPA allowed, where Coastal Carolina sits at the 8th percentile.

Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Coastal Carolina has had no measurable home edge: +0.4 points, home against road.
No measurable home edge, 3rd percentile of 133 programs
58% at home, 54% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (26-19 home, 27-23 away). Interval ±4.3.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Coastal Carolina has beaten the number by −4.4 more at home than away over 103 games. That is inside the ±6.4 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Brooks Stadium (SC) seats 21,000 and has averaged 86% full (17,979, 28 games reported). Visitors cover a median 321 miles to get here since 2018 — 45th-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 8% of the 2026 roster (8 of 98 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 53 home games since 2018.

How the players get used
From the 2025 season's play-by-play
- CloserJalen John gets meaningfully more work in the fourth quarter with a lead than his overall workload would predict, mostly in real, competitive games: not just mop-up snaps.
- Garbage timeJalen John sees a real spike in usage once the game is out of reach, and his efficiency in competitive snaps sits below the position baseline: the numbers lean on the opponent giving up.
- Deep threatRobby Washington is used almost exclusively underneath: a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Dominic Knicely and Jevon Edwards split the carries (70/113 vs 43/113) -- but the job isn't split the same way.
WR/TE room
The targets are split. The job isn’t.
Tristian Gardner (WR) and Zach Courtney (TE) split the targets (38/48 vs 10/48) -- but the job isn't split the same way.

Coastal Carolina by half
1st-half offense ranks 62nd percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 27th — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
How much of Coastal Carolina’s number is the schedule?
Raw EPA/play through week 10 is 0.13; 47th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's 0.04. The widest gap came in week 3: 0.23 raw vs. 0.04 adjusted.
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Coastal Carolina’s passing game completes a completion rate below the FBS mean (61.5% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 194-play sample) — mid-pack, 4 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Coastal Carolina’s defense allows a completion rate above the FBS mean (66.9% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 164-play sample) — mid-pack, 83 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Turnover luck
The bounces have gone their way on the fumbles they've forced: 75% recovered, vs. ~48% expected.
9 of 12 forced fumbles recovered; 9 of 16 own fumbles recovered themselves, 2026 only.
Takeaways
Cashing in at a normal clip: 21% of disrupted passes intercepted, close to ~18% league-wide.
6 interceptions of 28 disrupted passes (22 deflected, 6 intercepted), 2026 only.
Penalties
The flags haven't favored them: 61 penalties committed vs. 49 drawn on opponents, 28 yards behind.
512 penalty yards committed vs. 484 drawn on opponents, 2026 season total.
