Coastal Carolina QB says the Chanticleers want Bama; Urban Meyer breaks down hypothetical matchup
Coastal Carolina has been one of the best stories of the college football season, even as the Chanticleers’ COVID-19 issues have canceled today’s Sun Belt title matchup.
The Chanticleers have shown they’ll play anyone, but would they really want to play No. 1 Alabama?
On FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff,” analyst Brady Quinn prodded Coastal Carolina QB Grayson McCall into joking that the Chanticleers do indeed want Alabama:

McCall’s comments caused Urban Meyer to break down a potential matchup between the Chanticleers and the Crimson Tide (via 247Sports):
“I’m not sure the Chants want Bama,” Meyer said, laughing. “I’ll tell you what though, I’ve coached the Utahs … that’s a great football player and there’s great football players (at those schools), they just don’t have the depth.
“They can hang with them for a little bit, but …”
Not many teams can actually hang with Alabama. We have no doubt the Chanticleers wouldn’t be afraid of the challenge, though.
Actually Mr. journalist…who would be afraid to play Bama, or ND, or Ohio State. I mean, its such a silly ten year old statement. If anything it would be a fun game, fun not fear. Nothing to lose and even a reasonably close score would be a gain. Come on. Its just like playing maybe Arkansas…they just dont have the depth and wear down quickly. Come on.
Teams say they wan Bama. They regret it when they get what they want.
Tide would crush Coastal Carolina. Roll Tide!
