A night game in Dowdy-Ficklen might turn out to be a trap. This is a game we should winbu all acounts but we might get the all or nothing effort from the Pirates here.
ECU is a bit of a mystery this year. The 3-4 record is deceiving. They haven't beaten a P5 or AAC team yet. 2 of 3 the wins are against FCS schools. That scheduling quirk was caused when VT canceled the series on them after Whit Babcock insisted ECU play a game in a hurricane a while back.
The guy that makes the Pirates go is QB Holton Ahlers who we temporaily destroyed in last years game. Ahlers was a one time UC recruiting target. He has thrown for ~1500 yards and is the teams second leading rusher. The offense is reasonably balanced on the stat sheet. They spread the welath on offense but the main guy other than Ahlers is Blake Proehl at WR. They play USF at 2:45 ET on Saturday if you want to check them out.
