Sources: Coastal Carolina’s McCall game-time call

8:30 AM ET Pete ThamelESPN Coastal Carolina is”carefully optimistic”that quarterback Grayson McCall will be

able to return for the Sun Belt title game at Troy on Saturday, sources told ESPN. McCall will be a game-time decision with a foot injury, according to sources, and the optimism stems from the manner in which he practiced this week.”He’s not one hundred percent, “one source said.” However he’s not 60. He’s closer to being healthy than he’s banged up.” McCall has been out with a foot injury considering that early November, and on Nov. 9 coach Jamey Chadwell offered a schedule for him to return at three-to-six weeks. The school announced he ‘d be out for the rest of the regular season. Chadwell has actually been unclear about McCall’s status openly all week, and a decision isn’t anticipated to be made till right prior to game time.McCall is a two-time Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year who is 28-3 as a beginning quarterback the previous three years. He is among the most accomplished and prolific

quarterbacks in the sport, as he has tossed for 7,700 backyards in his career and has 75 goal passes to simply seven interceptions.What will be monitored closely on Saturday is his mobility, as an essential part of McCall’s efficiency is both his running ability and the danger of him running. He has actually rushed for 1,035 lawns and 15 goals, although only 165 of those lawns came this season.Without McCall last week, Coastal Carolina(9-2) lost 47-7 at James Madison. It beat Southern Miss 26-23 without him on Nov. 12. The injury was available in the second half of a win over Appalachian State on Nov. 3.
