COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) β The college football season opens in South Carolina this weekend with a couple of teams that have never played each other before.
Coastal Carolina heads to The Citadel on Saturday for a game between the Chanticleers, who made the Football Championship Division playoff quarterfinals a year ago, and the Bulldogs, who are adjusting to a first year coach and haven’t been to the playoff since 1992.
In other games Saturday involving South Carolina’s FCS teams, South Carolina State plays Benedict in Columbia in the Palmetto Capital City Classic. Furman hosts Gardner-Webb, and Wofford travels to Georgia Tech.
On Thursday, Charleston Southern opened the season under its new lights with a 61-9 win over NAIA Point, while Presbyterian lost to Northern Illinois 55-3.
