Sun Belt: Grayson McCall Adds To His Legacy With First Win At App State

Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall hasn't quite looked the same this season compared to what he was able to do under former coach Jamey Chadwell. Tuesday night was a reminder of what McCall can do, at this best. 

The three-time Sun Belt player of the year finished with a career high in passing yards with 373 and two touchdowns. 

McCall gave the kind of performance we've grown used to seeing from him: throwing, rushing, blocking, and playing with the unbridled passion you expect from someone with that luscious of a mullet. 

A Night of Firsts

On a night when we were reminded of Coastal Carolina teams past, it was also a night of a couple significant firsts.

The most significant was undoubtedly Coastal's first win at App State in program history. The Chanticleers were 0-6 prior to this contest on trying to beat the Mountaineers in Boone. 

The night also marked the first conference win of Tim Beck's tenure with the Chanticleers and his first road win since taking the job.

No Winning Streak

With the loss, App State have not won multiple games in a row since October 19/29, 2022. It was also the Mountaineers' first home loss since last September 24 (James Madison).

A big reason for the loss? Arguably, the lack of a rushing attack. After averaging 130.2 yards per game, App State running back Nate Noel carried the ball just one time for one yard in this game.
