Different opponent for No. 14 Coastal Carolina. Even bigger stakes in this Top 25 matchup between the Chanticleers and No. 8 BYU.

In another COVID-induced schedule twist, Coastal Carolina (9-0, No. 18 CFP) and BYU (9-0, No. 13 CFP) will square off after the Cougars stepped in to replace No. 25 Liberty.

“We have a great mindset,” Coastal Carolina coach Jamey Chadwell said. “We’ll play whoever, wherever.”

The Chanticleers’ ability to adjust on the fly will be tested as they get ready for the biggest game in their 18 seasons of mostly FCS football.

They had been preparing to play the Flames, Coastal’s one-time bitter FCS rival when both competed in the Big South

They had been preparing to play the Flames, Coastal’s one-time bitter FCS rival when both competed in the Big South Conference. But Liberty paused all its football activities and called off its game on Thursday due to the coronavirus.

BYU was there waiting — and ready, willing an able to travel 2,208 miles to Conway,

South Carolina vs NC State basketball: Who won, score?

| TRAVEL IN SOUTH CAROLINA

For the first time in more than a calendar year, the South Carolina women’s basketball team has tasted defeat. The No. 1 Gamecocks fell 54-46 to No. 8 N.C. State on Thursday at Colonial Life Arena, snapping the program’s record 29-game winning streak.

No one would mistake the matchup for beautiful basketball: The top-10 showdown was an ugly, gritty affair with neither team shooting above 30% from the field and both consistently clashing in crowded lanes, with little outside shooting to speak of.

In the end, USC couldn’t overcome 4-of-11 free-throw shooting and 54 missed shots from the field. One of the team’s leading scorers entering the game, junior point guard Destanni Henderson, scored just two points. Coach Dawn Staley’s other star players, sophomore guard Zia Cooke and sophomore forward Aliyah Boston, combined for 20 points but needed 32 shots to get there.

From the get-go, both teams struggled to

Football Preview: South Carolina at Kentucky

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) – South Carolina looks to snap a five-game losing streak as they travel to take on Kentucky in the regular season finale. 

South Carolina

Freshman quarterback Luke Doty got his first collegiate start last week in the Gamecocks’ 45-16 loss to Georgia. 

He was impressively efficient given the matchup, completing 18 of 22 passes for 190 yards and one score to one interception. But the Bulldogs controlled most of the game, racking up 332 rushing yards and 471 total yards of offense. Sophomore running back Kevin Harris added 53 yards on the ground to bring his season total to 928 yards. The one thousand-yard mark is firmly within reach as Harris needs just 72 yards against the Wildcats to reach the feat. You have to go back to 2013 to find a Gamecock with that kind of performance as Mike Davis was the most recent to do

Unbeaten underdogs Coastal Carolina, BYU arrange Saturday game

| TRAVEL IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Undefeated 13th-ranked BYU will travel to play No. 18 Coastal Carolina on Saturday in bowl-worthy matchup arranged on the fly due to COVID-19 issues.

ESPN’s College GameDay announced Thursday morning it would be on site at Brooks Stadium in Conway, S.C., which had been planned for Saturday’s game with Liberty (9-1).

Liberty, which is unranked in the College Football Playoff ranking but cracked the AP Top 25 this week, is unable to play at Coastal Carolina (9-0) this week due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.

Coastal Carolina and BYU are sharing their own COVID-19 test results after nearly two days of discussions, per multiple reports, but each school announced the game was on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. ET with TV coverage on ESPNU.

The attention is unusual for the South Carolina school, a Sun Belt program that joined the FBS in 2017.

South Carolina, Kentucky meet looking to end losing streaks

South Carolina and Kentucky each aim to end disappointing regular seasons with a rare victory.

The winner might even have a chance to continue playing football in December.

While the possibility of postseason play initially appears farfetched given both teams’ losing records, the Southeastern Conference’s bowl alliances means slots still have to be filled even in this unusual season. The first step toward that scenario comes Saturday night in Lexington, Kentucky, as the visiting Gamecocks (2-7, 2-7 Southeastern Conference) and Wildcats (3-6, 3-6) both will try to end losing streaks.

“It’s a big chance to get rid of that nasty feeling off of losing these couple of games,” said Kentucky senior receiver Josh Ali, referring to consecutive losses to top-ranked Alabama and No. 6 Florida.

“We may not have a bowl game. This may be our last one, so mentally you should want to go out there and play your
