STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) - Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall won't play Saturday night against Georgia Southern.

McCall is a redshirt sophomore who's thrown for 2,063 yards, 17 touchdowns and two interceptions this season. He leads the nation in passing efficiency and is third in completion percentage.
