Conway, SC (Sports Network) - Coastal Carolina will open the Joe Moglia era by
hosting North Carolina A&T and has four more home games as part of a 2012
football schedule announced on Wednesday.
Moglia was hired in December as the second head coach in Chanticleers history.
Coastal will host North Carolina A&T in its season opener Sept. 1. Also coming
to Brooks Stadium are Eastern Kentucky (Sept. 15) and Big South Conference
opponents Stony Brook (Oct. 13), Liberty (Oct. 27) and Charleston Southern
(Nov. 17).
Coastal's non-conference road games are particularly tough: Furman (Sept. 8),
FBS member Toledo and Appalachian State (Sept. 29).
Within the Big South, the Chanticleers will go to VMI (Oct. 20), Gardner-Webb
(Nov. 3) and Presbyterian (Nov. 10).
Coastal finished 7-4 last season and will return All-Big South performers in
