East Carolina’s bowl hopes for the 2020 season hinges upon an offense directed by quarterback Holton Ahlers and one of the AAC’s top receiving corps. The defense only returns five starters where they struggled would be considered an understatement. Postseason play is in sight and potentially a dark horse run as a contender to be the champion of the American. Head coach Mike Houston will want to show some improvement on defense to compliment their high-octane offense.
Offense revolves around Ahlers
After the bye week last year, the Pirates rang up nearly 500 yards per game over the final six contests.
