The William & Marry Tribe will look to keep things rolling after a big game against Colgate 38-10.
East Carolina on the other hand is coming off a rough outing where they were blown out by the Navy Shipmen. It is, however, important to realize that Navy are a much better team than the Pirates. A loss is slightly more forgivable.
William & Mary Tribe
The Tribe couldn’t get much going through the air last time going 11/19 overall with only 189 yards. It was unfortunately more of the same from Hollis Mathis (starting QB) who was hoping to improve.
One of the most concerning statistics for this side in that last game was the 6-12 3rd down conversion ratio and if the Tribe want to hang with ECU in any meaningful way that will need to be much better.
One of the few positives that can be taken from that last game was the decent effectiveness of the rushing game which had 254 yards off 46 attempts which was good for 5.5 yards per carry. Owen Right was their leading rusher in that contest with 108 yards off 16 attempts and 1TD.

East Carolina Pirates
The passing game was somewhat of the main focal point for the Pirate’s offense last game, but only managed to get a lousy 138 yards off their 23 throwing attempts.
That does not sound like a lot, but when you compare it to their rushing offense of 84 total yards at 2.8 yards per carry.
It is not surprising, though, as they had a super tough first game at NC State who does have a comparatively good defense.
Look out for junior RB Pinnix Jr who had 11 carries last game for only 23 yards, but should be able to convert his usage into far more production against a much easier William & Marry ball club.
Like their counterparts on Saturday the ECU Pirates seriously struggled on defense in that tough road game last time out giving up over 450+ yards against a talented Navy offense.

Free Week 4 NCAA Football Pick: UNDER 47
These teams both seem equally bad, but ECU had a much tougher opening game than the Tribe. Look for ECU to have a nice lead at halftime and then to run all over this porous Tribe defense in the second half. Utilizing the play clock and slowing the tempo.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Under
I am confident this ECU running game will get going in this spot and can achieve balance between the rushing and passing game. Take the Under and cash in this Saturday.
