backup QB played 1 quarter and threw 3 picks

With how the D's playing, this is Coastal's title to lose

he was trying to show out for coach, but just showed why he was the backup.

I'm really hoping that Clemson doesn't beat A&M. I don't want another rematch with them in the Natty, if we make it past OK State

New Orleans, LA. - After rattling off 14 wins, claiming the Big 12 crown, dispatching Wisconsin in the opening round, and surviving a triple-overtime classic against Nebraska, the Oklahoma State Cowboys simply ran out of bullets in the Sugar Bowl.

“It’s tough when you’re overmatched out there,” Kirk Herbstreit said on the broadcast. “Give credit to Oklahoma State — they fought tooth and nail all season. But when you’ve got to play perfect football every week, it’s not sustainable. They needed a few defensive stops to hang around, and they just couldn’t get them.”

Coastal Carolina wasted no time setting the tone. On the game’s first play from scrimmage, Fredrick Meredith launched a 64-yard strike to Denard Cruise, who torched double coverage and cruised into the end zone untouched.

To their credit, the Cowboys didn’t blink. They answered with back-to-back touchdown drives, knotting the score at 14–14 midway through the first quarter and momentarily silencing a raucous Coastal crowd in New Orleans.

But “perfect football” didn’t last long. A pair of offensive miscues gave Coastal short fields, and the Chanticleers pounced — scoring three straight touchdowns to blow open a 35–14 halftime lead. Coastal finished the first half with touchdowns on five of six drives, the lone miss coming on a hurried possession with under a minute remaining.

Even when Oklahoma State’s defense finally broke through late in the 3rd quarter, standing up 6’7” tight end Jamal Stephen on fourth-and-goal from the two, the celebration was short-lived. On the very next play, MLB Anthony Atogwe knifed through the line and stuffed John Cesario in the end zone for a safety. After the free kick, Meredith needed just one snap to deliver the dagger — an 87-yard bomb to Cruise, his fifth touchdown of the day.

Meredith finished nearly flawless: 24-of-30 for 426 yards and five touchdowns, authoring one of the most efficient postseason performances in program history.

When asked about that final deep shot, Meredith smiled. “That was my call,” he said. “I wanted to end the game the same way we started it — with a Cruise Missile.”

On the postgame podium, Coach Kade Vaughn opened his remarks by praising his opponent.
“Before we get into the questions, round of applause for Oklahoma State,” Vaughn said. “They put together a hell of a season when nobody thought they would. I know what it’s like to come up short in a storybook run. I hope they build on it — and maybe we’ll see them again down the line.”

With the 58–21 victory, Coastal Carolina punched its ticket back to the National Championship Game for the first time since 2028. After last year’s heartbreaking semifinal loss to Georgia, the Chanticleers look every bit like a team on a mission.

Meredith — who kept a photo of his missed tackle on Georgia’s pick-six as his phone wallpaper all season — made his intentions clear afterward.

“We winning this shit,” the sophomore declared to roaring applause.

After his Sugar Bowl performance, few would dare bet against him — or against Kade Vaughn’s scorching-hot Chanticleers — when they take the field at SoFi Stadium in two weeks.

Now, Coastal waits to see who will emerge from the Rose Bowl — and whether fate will once again bring the Clemson Tigers across their path.

Meredith started and ended his Sugar Bowl debut the same way, with a monster touchdown to Denard Cruise as the Chanticleers outgunned the Cowboys from the opening whistle.

Nate Hwang had the Cowboys rolling early but as the pressure mounted, the Cowboys guns ran out of bullets. Needing another touchdown to keep pace, Hwang was sacked by DE Alfonso Smith forcing a punt and opening the floodgates.

2032 National Championship Preview

The Last Ride?

Conway, SC. - As the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers prepare for their second National Championship appearance in five years, there’s a familiar electricity pulsing through Conway — and maybe, a quiet understanding that this could be the last ride for one of college football’s great modern teams.

Back in 2028, Coastal claimed its first-ever national title behind two-time Heisman winner Bryce Underwood, surviving seven turnovers in a defensive masterclass that became instant legend. The celebration was euphoric — but short-lived. Underwood was gone to the NFL by spring, and most of that historic roster followed him out the door.

Now, four years later, Kade Vaughn has Coastal back on the biggest stage. And once again, the whispers are growing that this might be the swan song for another generational roster.

Officially, the Chanticleers will graduate 19 seniors after this season. Unofficially, sources close to the program say Vaughn and his staff are preparing for the possibility of losing every starter on both sides of the ball if Coastal captures the crown.

“You’ve got guys like Fred Meredith, Justice Spear, Tavares Tinker, Anthony Atogwe — all redshirt sophomores, all eligible,” one source told The Teal Wave Report. “If they win, there’s not much left to prove. The NFL will come calling.”

Meredith, though, might be the exception. The sophomore quarterback is already 19–1 as a starter, with over 80 touchdowns to his name, but those around him say he’s wired differently. “Fred’s the type who wants to finish the story, not just start it,” said a staffer. “He’s got that fire.”

Still, even with the potential turnover ahead, Vaughn isn’t entertaining any talk of endings.

“This group has been through too much, fought through too many battles to think about tomorrow,” he said earlier this week. “They’re focused on one thing — 60 minutes in SoFi.”

And that’s the beauty of it. Coastal Carolina doesn’t need to think about next year. They’ve already cemented themselves as one of the sport’s defining programs of the decade — a once-unthinkable powerhouse built on swagger, precision, and belief.

If this truly is the end of an era, it’s one the Chanticleers plan to close on their own terms — with confetti falling and a championship trophy back in Conway.

One more game.
One more run.
One more chance to etch this roster of Coastal Carolina Chanticleers into college football immortality.
