season started with the first ever face off of the Seawolves against a FBS team. Seawolves lead against South Florida 14–0 early in the game but lost control and gave up a loss at South Florida, 59–14. Stony Brook quickly recovered to beat American International 31–14. The Seawolves later on posted wins at every single conference game against the Big South and by November 14 had an overall 6–4 record and were 5–0 in the Big South. In one of the biggest upsets of Seawolves football history, their automatic bid faded away as they fell to the Liberty Flames on November 20 in a 54–28 game creating a three–way tie for the FCS playoff and sending Coastal Carolina to the FCS Playoffs (Seawolves allowed 122 point against BSC, Liberty 110, and CC allowed 109 in the tie–breaker) thus making the Seawolves Co–Champions of the Big South but eliminated from playoff contention on the last day of the season. The Seawolves are 13–4 overall in Big South games since 2008. 2011 Season 2012 Season References Stony Brook Seawolves football seasons
