Georgia State has hung tough in their three games this season. The Chanticleers are putting up 38.2 points on offense while GSU is scoring 42 points a game. The big difference is on the defensive side of the ball. Coastal Carolina is giving up 21.6 points while Georgia State is allowing their opponents to put up 39 points per game. I have to take the team that has shown they can play some defense at this small number.

Play on Coastal Carolina.
