The East Carolina Pirates took a 7-3 lead into the locker room against the Virginia Tech Hokies, who were supposed to cruise through their ACC and out-of-conference schedules with the greatest of ease. An interception by Logan Thomas was the major mis-step for the Hokies, who outgained ECU by well more than 100 yards.
Virginia Tech Vs. ECU Score: Pirates Giving No. 11 Hokies A Fight
VPI re-asserted itself immediately in the third, with a 39-yard run by David Wilson leading to a Josh Oglesby goal line plunge to make it 10-7.
This one really doesn’t appear to be in doubt for the Hokies, based on that massive yardage differential and the apparent fact that the Pirates can’t do a thing against Tech’s defense. Still, much like West Virginia’s early struggles with Norfolk State, it’s a reminder that anybody can hang with just about anybody for at least a half or so.
