Although both teams play in Carolina, this game will be the first in which they meet in a bowl, so they will be looking to take the pride of the state.

The highlight of the 12 games in 2022 was quarterback Holton Ahlers, who managed to have good marches with the offense. He completed 67.1 percent of his completions for 3,408 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions.

The offense was not one of the best of the year, but the hopes of winning will rest on the performance of quarterback Grayson McCall, who completed 69.1 percent of his completions for 2,633 yards, 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions.

While the East Carolina Pirates did not have such a good tournament, finishing with a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, where they barely won one of the last three, but they will try to win the "classic" against the other Carolina university in a game that looks even for this Tuesday's clash.

Despite two losses on the final stretch of the campaign that deprived them of the opportunity to be in a better bowl, Coastal Carolina Chanticleers expects to finish with a good season where they had 9 wins and only 3 losses, although they did not really face great quality teams during the campaign.

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers vs East Carolina Pirates match will be played at the Protective Stadium, in Birmingham, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 19:30 pm ET.
