August 29, 2016September 28, 2016 David Zazofsky

Tweet(1-0) North Dakota State 24, (0-1) Charleston Southern 17 (OT) I know a lot of the pundits are cheering today about what a great college football game the FCS Kickoff was and how this contest bears out the truth that “anyone can beat anyone on any given Saturday”. Initially, I watched it live on Saturday night and was genuinely... Read More

Tweet*Preview courtesy of Libertine on AGS Harold Nichols’ squad was a consistently tough out for nearly everyone on their schedule in 2015. The Blue Hose were competitive in nearly every game and were within one score in each of their conference losses. They were particularly sturdy on defense, holding playoff teams Coastal Carolina, Charleston Southern and... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Monmouth

August 22, 2016August 8, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy of Libertine on AGS Based on 2015, Monmouth should have been the dark horse pick to make some noise in the Big South this year. Having swapped out virtually their entire offensive personnel and schemes, the Hawks got off to a slow start losing to Holy Cross, Central Michigan and Fordham, picked up... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Liberty

August 17, 2016August 1, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS Unequivocally, the biggest question mark in the Big South conference hovers over Liberty.

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS In only their first year of existence, head coach Brian Bohannon’s Owls turned out to be exactly who we thought they were. Behind a triple-option attack run by The Citadel transfer, QB Trey White, KSU easily handled their early “starter” opponents and were 4-1 with the only loss coming at... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Gardner-Webb

August 10, 2016August 15, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy Libertine on AGS Gardner-Webb’s 2015 campaign had a few bright spots – the brightest certainly being their upset win over a ranked Liberty team – but, on the whole, inconsistent play forced their season into a slow boring descent toward winter. Things started off reasonably well as G-W took a second-half lead in their opener against FBS South... Read More

2016 Preseason Big South Preview: Charleston Southern

August 8, 2016August 8, 2016 Chad Lenz

Tweet*Preview courtesy of Libertine on AGS. 2015 was, without question, the high water mark in the history of the football program at Charleston Southern University. CSU captured the conference crown outright, the first squad to do that since Stony Brook in 2011 and only the third team to do it since the Big South moved to a playoff-eligible six teams... Read More
