Wofford, Coastal Carolina ready for FCS playoffs

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) ? Even before this season started, Wofford fullback Eric Breitenstein and his teammates decided just getting to the playoffs wouldn't be enough. The Terriers (8-3) take their first of what would be four steps to the Football Championship Subdivision title Saturday by hosting New Hampshire (8-3). New Hampshire is averaging 471 yards a game in an offense that is almost exactly balanced between running and passing. The Terriers have been a solid defense ? their 316 yards a game ranks 20th in FCS ? but coach Mike Ayers said they haven't been up against an offense like this. Wofford went into the fourth quarter tied with Football Bowl Subdivision South Carolina before losing 24-7, while New Hampshire was beat 64-35 by Towson. Coastal Carolina won its first-ever playoff game 24-14 over Bethune-Cookman last week. The Monarchs lead FCS in offense at 538 yards per game and are ranked second at 382 yards passing.
