East Carolina Pirates Roster and Depth Chart:

MY NOTES:
1. ECU plays a 3-4 defense. Again, we have played very well against this type of defense in the past to include last week against Appy State. South Carolina eventually scored 56 points against the Pirates last week.
*The starting nose guard (senior) and DEs (both sophs) are smaller on average than those of Appalachian State. The Nose guard is about 300 pounds, but both DEs are about 260.
*The LBs (one senior, two juniors, and one freshman) are about the same size on average, maybe a little smaller, as the Appy State LBs. It will be interesting to see if ECU sells out to stop the run based on what they will see in our Appy State film.
*The DBs are all 5'10"-5'11". The lack of size should be exploited by the taller, stronger Tech WRs.
2. ECU plays a spread offense. They played very well against South Carolina last week until the Gamecocks figured out what the Pirates were doing. The Tech staff should be studying that video even as we speak.
*The QB is a senior and he's pretty good at running the spread offense. He's an accurate passer and can run if he has to.
*The offensive line consists of one senior (the center) and four sophs. Their back-ups consist of two seniors, two juniors, and a freshman. Our DLs should be able to neutralize, if not overpower, this group.
*The four WRs consist of a senior, a junior and two freshmen. Will we counter by playing more nickel or will we stick to our standard 4-3? Foster will definitely throw a lot of different coverages and alignments at ECU's QB to confuse the heck out of him.
*The RB is a junior and is serviceable at best.

that we had lost this game. I was glad to wake up and see that it is only Thursday, but I am officially nervous about this one.
