Countdown to Kickoff: Coastal Carolina Preview
- Coastal Carolina entered the West Virginia opener with new coach Ryan Beard onboarding nearly 60 new players, including roughly a dozen from his Missouri State program.
- Coastal Carolina had not publicly named a starting quarterback, forcing West Virginia to prepare for Missouri State transfer Deuce Bailey and Tyler Junior College transfer Tre Guerra.
- Coastal Carolina's offensive line was described as completely remodeled, while Nick Petrino's pro-style offense can include traditional under-center quarterback alignments.
- Coastal Carolina's defense runs an L.D. Scott 4-2-5 that can morph toward 4-3, and Oklahoma State edge transfer Chandavian Bradley plus Michigan State linebacker transfer Marcellius Pulliam were listed as starters.
