Conway, SC. - The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers moved to 4–0 with a 45–21 win over the Tennessee Volunteers, and once again it was the defense — not the returning offensive firepower — that stole the show. Behind another dominant performance from their defensive front and key special teams plays, the defending champs continued to find ways to win even as their passing game sputters.
Outside of an 89-yard touchdown run by Tennessee’s Lee Kasa, the Volunteers offense was largely bottled up in the first half. Coastal’s offense wasn’t much sharper early, but a 36-yard burst by Fredrick McCollum set up a short keeper from quarterback Fredrick Meredith, and moments later defensive captain Anthony Atogwe scooped up a forced fumble from Alfonso Smith for a score. Coastal led 14–7 at the break despite a slow offensive start.
Tennessee briefly swung momentum out of halftime behind quarterback Quincy Walters, who connected twice with star wideout Deontray Treggs on deep shots to grab a 21–14 lead. But after a fiery sideline exchange between defensive coordinator Tony White and corner Emmanuel Abrams, the Chants’ defense responded with authority.
“Hold up a bit longer — we gon’ get to him again,” senior defensive end Alfonso Smith told Abrams afterward. Smith delivered on that promise, racking up three second-half sacks to finish with a school-record five on the day. Coastal piled up nine sacks total, completely suffocating the Vols offense the rest of the way.
The offense leaned on the ground game to close things out, with Cornell Jennings rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns, while McCollum added 88 rushing and 55 receiving yards.
Quarterback Fredrick Meredith, meanwhile, continues to face scrutiny after another rough outing where he failed to throw a touchdown pass while tossing one to the other team.
“For all the talk about the extra work they put in, they just look out of sync — missed throws, off routes, bad timing,” noted the Coastal radio color commentator during the broadcast.
Head coach Kade Vaughn brushed off the criticism postgame. “We’ve faced some elite defenses to start this season,” Vaughn said. “Fred will be fine.”
The road doesn’t get any easier — Coastal heads to Tallahassee next week for an ACC showdown with 4-0 Florida State.

the slider change by canes is kicking my passing games ass. Meredith is completely erratic now, despite gaining DOT and Mobile Resistance badges in the offseason. Its a good thing I have the best offensive line in the country opening New York tunnel size holes for my HB
