GREENVILLE, N.C. — Brian Wudkwych breaks down ECU’s narrow 28-20 victory over FCS foe Towson in the opening week of the season Saturday.
Towson’s well-spirited bout with East Carolina came to an exciting end on Saturday night. The Tigers could very well have forced overtime if not for a fourth down, teeth rattling hit by safety Terrell Richardson on receiver Sam Gallahan to break up a would-be first down catch in the final minutes of the game. Here are my four downs from Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. FIRST DOWN: Blake Kemp STILL AN UNKNOWN Despite having the best statistical first half of any first-time starting quarterback since Ruffin McNeill came to the program six years ago, nothing outside of the stat sheet made a sizable impression during junior signal caller Blake Kemp’s debut.
