I'd say its about right

ECU has beaten Tulsa, NCSU, Marshall(by 27) and Memphis(by 22) at Home. (Lost badly to Navy)

How has SMU played on the road? CUSA teams are usually two different teams Home and Away

That's easy money. ECU has no defense. Even by CUSA standards, they don't have a defense.

1 point ahead at the end of the game is all that matters right now.

ECU has some quality wins. THey have some quality loses as well. So do we. IT all depends on how healthy we are and how mentally prepared we are to become champions. We have the physical skills and solid O and D schemes. It is just a matte of these kids taking the next step and putting the mental intensity necessary to move to the next level.

The week before we played Houston, Rice beat them. We all remember being blown out at home the next week, by a crippled Cougar team.

I don't like this game at all. We play poorly on the road and it seems like ECU averages about 35pts per game. We have only scored more than 35 all season. I hope Zach has a huge game and we somehow pull this off. I'm not feeling good about this one - haven't seen anything from this team to think otherwise.

I hope I am dead wrong.

That's not very good.

Something tells me we're going to win this game. Have no idea why. Kinda like the Rice thing. I think they found themselves and the fact that we can play a little defense and make some stops will appear. Plus, when your best DB appears healthy -- or healthy enough to gut it out -- and takes away one side of the field, that makes your defense play better.

ECU's defense has a way of bringing out the best in the opposing team's offense.
