Comments: Who knows what the Hokies’ mindset will be for this game after they lost straight up in a game they were favored by 16 points. Tech's QB Tyrod Taylor looked very ordinary against the Tar Heels, failing to record a passing touchdown.
This is a bit of a revenge game for the Hokies, who got upset by the 9-point underdog Pirates 27-22 last year. ECU QB Patrick Pinkney had a big game in that contest completing 19-of-23 passes for one TD and no INTs. Pinkey has struggled in 2009, throwing more INTs (9) than TD passes (8). East Carolina has covered the last two games in this series. East Carolina is 9-3 as a home dog in its last 12 games.
