CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Buccaneers defense surrendered just 64 total yards as Charleston Southern (6-0) rolled to a 47-0 victory over Edward Waters (0-7) Saturday afternoon on Church Youth/Youth Football Day at Buccaneer Field. The shut out was the first since a 9-0 victory over North Greenville on Sept. 17, 2002.

Charleston Southern did not allow the Tigers a single third or fourth-down conversion in the game. On the other side, the CSU offense amassed 437 total yards, with 305 of them coming through the air. Senior quarterback Collin Drafts completed 22 of 28 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Sidney Bryant took over the offense late in the game, throwing for 59 yards on five completions.

The Buccaneer defense had five take-aways, with Okeba Rollinson blowing up the EWC option causing a fumble, and recovering it on the one-yardline. Junior C.J. Hirschman, senior Antoine Thomas, junior Darius Jackson and freshman Phillip Ashley all recorded interceptions for CSU. Jackson had the big run back, taking his pick 47 yards for the final CSU touchdown.

Charleston Southern scored in every quarter, holding a 20-0 lead at halftime. Up just 10-0 midway through the second quarter, the Bucs used a 32-yard pass from Josh Warrior to Marvin McHellon on a fake punt to keep a drive alive, eventually scoring on a 17-yard pass to Maurice Price, who had 109 yards on 9 receptions.

With the victory, the Buccaneers extended their winning streak to 11 games, which breaks the Big South record for consecutive games won. CSU will try to extend that streak as they open up Conference play, hosting V.M.I. for a 1:30 kickoff next weekend.
