Yesterday’s Results for East Carolina vs Army

CFB Early 2-Team Multi-Pack - Saturday

Analysis: The upcoming college football matchup between East Carolina and Army on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at Michie Stadium looks to be a challenging one for the Pirates. Army, with an undefeated 6-0 record, is a big favorite in this matchup, currently around 16.5 points. The Army Black Knights have excelled this season, primarily due to its dominant rushing attack, averaging 369.8 rushing yards per game (ranked 1st nationally). The Black Knights are also highly efficient with ball control, turning the ball over only once all season. Army's defense has been equally strong, allowing just 267.3 total yards per game, ranking 8th in the nation. And for the first time, both Army and Navy are nationally ranked, which sets up a great matchup come December between these teams. The East Carolina Pirates (3-3) have been inconsistent, particularly on defense, which has struggled against stronger rushing teams. East Carolina's offense, led by QB Jake Garcia and RB Rahjai Harris, has shown flashes of excellent offense at times. The key for anyone facing Army is defending the Triple-Option. Easier said then done. Army will look to control the ball on the ground and keep the ball out of ECU's hands. No doubt that Army should win here and improve to 7-0, but this is a lot of points for a team that is primarily a running club. Plus, the Pirates can score and if they can put up 17 or more they should cover this game. I'll take a shot with the dog here on Saturday. Play East Carolina.
