GREENVILLE, N.C. — ECU (3-2) travels to Utah for a non-conference bout with BYU (3-2) this Saturday. The teams are similar in more ways than one.
With one long trip in the books, East Carolina is just a day away from embarking on yet another, as the Pirates head out to Utah for their final non-conference matchup with Brigham Young. The team admittedly said that the trip to Dallas, Texas last weekend was draining and defensive coordinator Rick Smith noted that the team lacked energy when it arrived back in Greenville for Sunday practice. Now, though, a long plane ride across the country serves as the first obstacle involved in beating the Cougars.
