Some Friday night football for you. East Carolina is bad. They're 1-5 bad and the 1 W is South Florida who is also bad. They should have beaten Tulsa but typical AAC officiating cost them the game.
This was a team threw deep on us consistently last year with a lot of success. CJ Johnson, who killed us deep last year, appears to be either injured or forgotten in the offense as he only has 13 catches this year. The main receivers are Blake Proehl and Tyler Snead. Holton Ahlers is not afraid to sling the ball around when he can stay upright in the pocket. He's been sacked 12 times this season. His passing stats this year are slight better than Desmond Ridder, despite the pass happy offense. He's hoisted about 70 more passes then Des. The real guy to watch is Rahjai Harris at RB who is the most consistent part of the offense.
On defense, the thing that stands out to me is that outside of the MLB Xavier Smith, most of their leading tacklers are DBs. That reminds me specifically of the Tuberville defenses UC had that were terrible.
The only thing that bothers me about this game is that we typically have trouble with ECU for whatever reason. Hopefully this is not a trap game and everyone is healthy afterwards.
