ECU and their Top 25 offense is coming to town for the last time on Veterans Day and Military Appreciation Night at Nippert.
The PIrates have beaten UCF in Greenville and BYU in Provo over the last two games and are riding a 3 game winning streak. They are 6-3 overall with losses to NC State, Navy and Tulane. They have Ws against South Florida, Campbell, Old Dominion and Memphis. I'm personally pretty impressed that they hung on to beat BYU at home in a close game.
Holton Ahlers is a super senior and has a 70% completion rate this season and 2600 yards passing. His per play average is onyl 8.0 yards a pass so I suspect we'll see a lot of screens and slants. The real problem is he runs just enough to give us a look that will open up lanes for Keaton Mitchell. Mitchell is a burner with a 7.1 ypc avg and 850+ yards on the season. I watched him light up UCF on a couple of long runs earlier this year. He's balance by power back Rahjai Harris.
The Bearcats have won 4 in a row in the series and haven't lost to ECU at Nippert since 2001. We will tie the all time series at 13-13 with a win Friday night.
