CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Reserve quarterback Tad Hudson scored the game's only touchdown early in the fourth quarter and Coastal Carolina overcame three turnovers in beating FCS-level Charleston Southern 13-0 on Saturday night.

The Chanticleers (1-1) outgained Charleston Southern 384-153 total yards, but MJ Morris — a Maryland transfer who also played two seasons at N.C. State — struggled completing 13 of 22 passes for 102 yards and three interceptions. A potential fourth pick was dropped by a defender and following the play Hudson was inserted.

Kian Afrookhteh kicked field goals of 21 and 29 yards around Hudson's 4-yard touchdown run. Coastal Carolina entered as a 28.5-point favorite, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Buccaneers (0-2) lost their 12th straight game and fell to 0-28 all-time against FBS opponents. They were coming off a 45-3 loss at Vanderbilt last week.

Charleston Southern hasn't recorded a winning season since 2017 when it went 6-5.
