West Virginia at East Carolina
Saturday, 4:30 pm Eastern – ESPN

East Carolina will look for a third straight upset win over a Top 25 team as they host West Virginia on Saturday. The Pirates upset Virginia Tech last week thanks to a blocked punt and last season upset Boise State in the Hawaii Bowl. East Carolina racked up 369 yards in last week’s 27-22 win over Virginia Tech. Saturday’s game will be a big test for East Carolina considering they were blown out at Morgantown 48-7 last year. "I don't think we'll have to go far past putting the film in of the West Virginia team we're about to play to have our team's attention," East Carolina head coach Skip Holtz said.

West Virginia is an 8 point favorite at SBG Global.

West Virginia is led by quarterback Pat White who threw a career-high five touchdowns in the win over Villanova last week. He completed 25 of 33 passes for 208 yards in the game. "Patrick White was on target - bull's-eye, bull's-eye - all day," said head coach Bill Stewart. "He could have been 31-of-33 with no picks."

Saturday’s game could be high scoring considering West Virginia gave up almost 400 yards to Villanova last week. West Virginia has beaten East Carolina seven straight times since 2000, outscoring them 278-103 in the process.
