The Navy football team will be looking to match its best start in American Athletic Conference play when it travels to East Carolina on Saturday.
The Midshipmen, who sit alone atop the AAC standings, are hoping to improve to 3-0 against conference opponents. Navy began its league slate 3-0 in 2017 before losing four of its final five.
Navy has dominated the all-time series with East Carolina, winning six of seven meetings since 2006. The Midshipmen are 3-0 against the Pirates as members of the American.
Paul Johnson and Skip Holtz were the respective coaches when Navy beat East Carolina, 28-23, in the inaugural game between the schools.
