Mobile, AL. - The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers had made a habit of overcoming sloppy first halves with dramatic second-half rallies. However, that trend came to an end in Mobile, as the South Alabama Jaguars staged their own late comeback, led by quarterback Bishop Davenport’s two fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns. Davenport’s second score came with just 47 seconds remaining, leaving Coastal facing a 27-24 deficit.
“He was electric, no doubt about it,” admitted Coastal head coach Kade Vaughn postgame. “Not to get too candid, but we threw everything at him—man, zone, press, blitz—he had an answer every time. Some games you just have to grin and bear it, then get back to work.”
South Alabama opened the contest with a methodical 12-play drive, eating over six minutes off the clock, but Coastal’s defense stiffened, holding the Jaguars to a 23-yard field goal. Coastal responded with their own promising drive, fueled by Ja’Vin Simpkins and Jalen Johns, but quarterback Emmett Brown threw his sixth interception of the season, abruptly ending the scoring threat.
The Jaguars quickly capitalized when Devin Voisin outmuscled cornerback Robby Washington for an 82-yard touchdown reception, pushing South Alabama’s lead to 10-0.
Brown immediately bounced back, connecting with Simpkins for a 39-yard pass to set up Simpkins' 4 yard rushing touchdown shortly thereafter, cutting the deficit to 10-7. After forcing a punt, Brown led the Chants on a 95-yard drive, highlighted by an 82-yard touchdown pass to Malick Meiga, giving Coastal a 14-10 advantage.
Momentum stalled again for Coastal when Brown threw his seventh interception, leading directly to a 43-yard Jaguars field goal, narrowing the gap to 14-13. Coastal mounted a spirited drive late in the half but ran out of time at the Jaguars’ 3-yard line, failing to extend their lead.
The Chanticleers opened the third quarter with a lengthy 14-play drive that stalled, resulting in a 42-yard field goal and a modest 17-13 lead. The defense responded strongly when Dre Pinckney forced a fumble, but Coastal couldn’t capitalize, forced into another punt.
South Alabama responded emphatically, as Davenport engineered a stunning 95-yard drive capped by his 2-yard touchdown run, reclaiming the lead at 20-17. Coastal battled back again, with Simpkins scoring his second rushing touchdown to regain a 24-20 advantage.
Twelve plays later, with Davenport completing seven of his nine passes for 78 yards, the South Alabama Jaguars faced a pivotal moment: fourth-and-goal from the Coastal 7-yard line, trailing by four points with just 52 seconds remaining. Davenport had thrown his first two incompletions of the second half moments earlier, adding to just four total incompletions for the entire game.
The Jaguars spread the field with five receivers. Coastal’s secondary was tight, and initial protection was solid. However, as pressure intensified, Davenport spotted an opening and decisively took off, sprinting seven yards into the end zone to put South Alabama ahead 27-24.
With limited time remaining, Coastal’s offense had one final chance, but three consecutive incompletions forced quarterback Emmett Brown into a desperate scramble that ended in a sack. Just like that, the magic Coach Kade Vaughn had instilled in these Chanticleers vanished.
“It hurts, no doubt,” Vaughn admitted afterward. “The last couple of weeks made us believe we’d always find a way. But losses remind you what you’re fighting for. We’ll be back in the film room first thing Monday—I’ll be there tonight. I promise, we may be down, but we’re definitely getting back up.”
Coastal will have ample time to lick their wounds and re-asses their defensive strategy with an early bye next week before facing Old Dominion in Norfolk for Week Six.
As the interceptions pile up for Emmett Brown, the question lingers. How long a leash does he have in Conway?
Just when you think Emmett Brown's run out of mojo, he lobs a perfect go route into the breadbasket for a touchdown.
Coastal's secondary continues to struggle against the pass - deep jump balls in particular - as Bishop Davenport completed 87% of his passes on the day.
