Apparently, the East Carolina Pirates were dismantled this past weekend by Navy, and fell to the Midshipmen 76-35. It was the second straight loss for ECU, which fell to UCF the previous week. Moreso, the ECU is currently one game behind UCF for the top spot in the east division, so the Pirates need to right the ship quickly if they want a chance at another league title.
The Pirates possess one of the more dangerous offensive units in the conference, and their 36.4 ppg ranks third among teams in the C-USA. The Pirates are churning out a respectable 122.4 ypg on the ground, but the main reason for this offense’s success has been the performance of Dominique Davis.
On the other hand, the UAB’s rough season continued this past weekend, as the Blazers were defeated by Marshall, 31-17. It was the fourth loss in six games for UAB, which is just 2-3 in Conference-USA action. Fortunately for the Blazers they have claimed two of their three wins at home, so maybe the comfort of Legion Field can help the team climb back into the win column.
The Blazers do not have an explosive attack like East Carolina, but coach Neil Callaway’s crew is very balanced offensively, and their success has led to 24.4 ppg.
Ellis had a solid game this past weekend against Marshall, as the quarterback threw for 235 yards and two scores. However, he did toss an interception and finished with a completion rating less than 50.0 percent, so not all was well under center.
The East Carolina vs UAB game matchup will be having its live coverage on ESPN and in other leading sports channel in the nation. The game will have a kick off time of 8:00 pm ET, Thursday, November 11, 2010 and will be held live in Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.
