ECU's schedule thus far has been harder but this is how the 2 teams match up:
ECU.......USF 48th rushing offense.....80th rush defense 4th pass O...............86th pass D 4th total O..............67th total D 9th scoring O (44 ppg)...86th scoring D (allows 29 ppg) 17th rushing D...........92nd rush O 42nd pass D..............115th pass O 48th total D.............118th total O 67th scoring D (allow 25 ppg)....111th scoring O (19 ppg)
The Bulls would have to play their best game this season by far to have a chance to win. Not saying it can't happen but let's be real here. ECU's run D is not soft and ECU's run O is lethal with the top 3 RBs averaging 9.6, 8.8, & 6.9 yds per carry respectively against fairly good competition.
