East Carolina
East Carolina is led by their passing offense, which ranks 35th in the nation while their rushing offense only ranks 104th.
James Summers started the game under center in the South Florida game and should get the start in this Thursday night match up.
In the USF game he was 14/22 for 158 yards with 0 TD and 0 INT. Isaiah Jones leads a deep Pirates WR corps, which has 4 players with at least 315 receiving yards.
RB Chris Hairston really struggled in the South Florida game and Summers is the 2nd leading rusher for the Pirates. They will be facing a UCF run defense that only ranks 97th in the nation.
East Carolina has lost 3 straight games where their offense has struggled only averaging 13 ppg.

The Knights have not only struggled on defense this season, but their offense has also been pretty weak. They rank 95th in the nation in passing yards per game and 127th in rushing yards per game.
QB Justin Holman passed for 293 yards with 2 TD in the Tulsa loss, but was picked off 2 times. On the season he has 6 TD and 11 INT and all of his picks have come in the last 5 games.
