CCU is stockpiling an arsenal at wide receiver. Tyler was weapon of choice Saturday
Coastal Carolina is building an arsenal at wide receiver.
Junior Malcolm Williams set CCU’s single-game receiving yards mark three weeks ago at Louisiana-Monroe, junior Omar Black led the team in receiving in each of the past two games, and Saturday it was sophomore Ky’Jon Tyler’s time to have a career day.
Tyler had five receptions for 141 yards including a 73-yard touchdown, and the Chants nearly had two receivers reach 100 yards receiving as senior Chris Jones had four receptions for 96 yards. Four players had receptions of at least 20 yards.
“They brought some blitzes and put them into some man coverage and we were able to complete a pass and maybe miss a tackle, and the receivers did a great job of running after the catch,” said Keane, who completed 17 of 29 passes for a career-high 332 yards and two touchdowns.
The Chants made several of their biggest pass plays to convert third downs, helping them go 5 for 12 on third downs.
“Coach Chadwell had a good gameplan going into the game,” Keane said. “We had a good idea what they were going to do on third down and we executed on those plays.”
