DALLAS – The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers preserved their undefeated season with a tackle at the one-yard line on the final play of a 22-17 win over No. 8 BYU last Saturday. Their notable win over previously-unbeaten BYU helped Coastal Carolina join Rice as the Reveal Suits National Teams of the Week for games of the weekend of Dec. 5, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).
 
The Chanticleers' win was historic as it was their first over a top-10 FBS program and second-ever over a ranked team in a game that was hastily put together only two days prior.
 
Coastal's 10-0 start is the best in Sun Belt Conference history and part of an 11-game win streak dating back to last season.
 
Mateo Sudipo tackled BYU receiver Dax Milne at the one-yard line to finish off a game in which CCU ran for 281 yards against a Cougars defense that entered the game sixth nationally in rushing defense at 88.3 yards per game. The rushing success allowed the Chanticleers to hold the ball for 37:51.
 
On the other side, Coastal's defense held up BYU's offense averaging 47.6 points per game to a season-low 17 points.
 
The 10 wins this season are the most in a single season for the Chanticleers in the program's young FBS history. The Chants' 10-0 start is the best start by any football team in Sun Belt Conference history. CCU's 10-0 start is the second-best start in school history, as the Chants started 11-0 in 2014.
 
This is the first time for either Coastal Carolina (10-0) or Rice (2-2) to earn the Team of the Week honor. All Division I FBS and FCS schools are eligible to be selected. This is the 19th season for the FWAA to award a Team of the Week and this week is just the third time the FWAA has selected two teams to share the weekly prize.
