Also, anyone that has scored more than 28 on ECU this year has won.
Unfortunately for the Pirates, that is 17 points below the Coogs' average. |

You continue to leave out the fact that Tulsa turned the ball over 7 times in that game and ECU still only won by 3. Houston doesn't turn the ball over. Keenum has 6 picks on the year, and 3 of them hit his receiver in the hands. |

No, they've leaving Friday around noon. There's a "send off" planned at UH at that time.

Pinkney hasn't been able to pass "early and often" on anyone all year. Why would he be able to do it against the #2 defense against the pass in CUSA?

It's not that Houston can't run, they average 4.6 yards per carry which is #3 in CUSA. Why exactly though, would you frequently want to take the ball out of the hands of a Heisman candidate?
ECU on the other hand BETTER be able to run the ball. If they put the ball in Pinkney's hands (who sucks), it's going to be a long afternoon. Houston has a pretty serviceable secondary. They've given up the second least amount of passing yards in CUSA, and Brinkley is a ball hawk. |

Houston scores more pts in 1 game then cleveland browns does in 17gms If Houston doesn't know how to run, neither does ECU. Because the teams are within 120 rushing yards of each other on the year. ECU's 1794 to Houston's 1676. |

And Houston thumped SMU 38-15, where ECU lost to SMU 28-21. Houston was up on USM at one point 48-22, then their defense fell asleep. Had Damien Fletcher not fumbled on the goal line last week, USM would be traveling to Houston this Saturday. Saying that your analysis is skewed would be an understatement. |

I watched the ECU/USM game last week and saw plenty of open seats. Although I wouldn't doubt this Saturday being a sellout, saying that ECU is always >100% capacity is bullcrap. ECU is probably the same way that Tulane/Rice is, where they will announce 23k attendance, but there's really no more than 5k people in the stands. |

Houston has played and won at much more hostile environments this year than ECU. (Oklahoma State, Mississippi State)
Seems like the only people backing ECU are those from North Carolina. Color me unsurprised. If Houston's defense can get off the field on 3rd down, this could be a Houston blowout. Otherwise, it's a close game that could go either way. One thing that is certain, ECU won't blow out Houston. With that said, I'd back Houston if I had to pick one. |

Keenum is most definitely not a system QB, give me a break. Try watching one of his games before just assuming so because he's from Houston.
He keeps plays alive with his feet better than anyone in the country. Has an uncanny awareness in the pocket, and absolutely pinpoint accurate. He's also just a straight up winner. Did anyone see the game winning 16 play, 95-yard drive against Tech? I doubt it, but it was one of the best series I've seen all year. He is head and shoulders better than their last stud, Kolb, and he went in the 2nd round a couple years ago. |

No, he isn't.

(He would routinely lie about what he bet and lost.) His plays are nothing more than a (poorly executed) martingale. (seen by tonight's 35 [wtf?] unit wager) |
