Opponent Preview: East Carolina

The Bearcats are headed for Greenville, North Carolina this Saturday night.

Not Greensboro. Every time our Bearcats play the Pirates, our fans want to send the team to the Carolina Piedmont instead of the Tidewater.

Cincinnati faces off with a rebuilding East Carolina club which has struggled to a 3-5 mark, including an 0-4 record in the AAC.

The Pirates have dropped three straight games: contests against conference foes Temple, Central Florida, and South Florida.

East Carolina’s struggles have been most evident on offense. The team is last in the AAC in scoring offense and offensive yards per game.
