CONWAY, S.C. (AP) --- Deuce Bailey threw for three touchdowns, Dominic
Lee-Knicely had two rushing scores, and Coastal Carolina defeated FCS-opponent
Fordham 45-7 on Saturday night, giving first-year coach Ryan Beard his first

65-yard connection with Colton Hinton --- and the Chanticleers (1-1) led 28-7
at halftime.
Lee-Knicely had touchdown runs of 5 yards to open the scoring in the first
quarter and 18 yards in the third. Nico Cavanillas Alti kicked a 56-yard field

for 101 yards.
Gunnar Smth's 6-yard touchdown pass to Nodin Tracy was the only score for the
