Virginia hopes to rebound and match 2023 win total on the road vs. Coastal Carolina
Virginia (2-1) at Coastal Carolina (3-0), Saturday, 2 p.m. ET (ESPN+)
BetMGM College Football Odds: Virginia by 3.5 points.
Series record: First meeting.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Virginia is looking to continue its strong start and match its win total from last year in a difficult place to play in Coastal Carolina. The Cavaliers lost to former Atlantic Coast Conference member Maryland, 27-13, last week. The Chanticleers are trying for their first win over an ACC team. The only other such game in program history was a 49-3 loss at Clemson in 2009.
KEY MATCHUP
Virginia QB Anthony Colandrea against Coastal Carolina’s secondary. Colandrea has had three 300-yard games passing and 10 200-yard games passing in his time with the Cavaliers. The Chanticleers are allowing almost 200 yards a game through the air and opponents have four passing TDs this season.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Virginia: WR Malichi Fields has been the Cavaliers most reliable pass catcher this year with 20 receptions and 284 yards. He’s yet to break through with a TD after five touchdown catches in 2023.
Coastal Carolina: QB Ethan Vasko has taken over as starter after Grayson McCall transferred to N.C. State. Vasko has thrown for 512 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Chants’ perfect start.
FACTS & FIGURES
Coastal Carolina looks to go 4-0 for the fourth time in the past five seasons. … Virginia was originally set to play on Coastal’s “Surf Turf” teal field in November 2022.

Arizona State is the other. … Virginia, with 10 penalties through three games, is the ACC’s least-penalized team and ranks sixth nationally.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
