Thursday's 16-3 loss to Virginia Tech continued to affect ECU even after the final horn. Injuries to tight end Rob Kass (knee) and defensive back Dekota Marshall (leg) could be season-ending.

The robust defense East Carolina fans had longed to see throughout this football season surfaced Thursday night in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

East Carolina fell in a lackluster 16-3 loss Thursday to No. 22 Virginia Tech. The Pirates had three chances against ACC and Big East opponents this season and lost them all.

Tudor:
For interest, rivalry and territorial security, ECU would have been a much more exciting option for the ACC.

The ACC has nine bowl tie-ins and three bowl-eligible teams (Georgia Tech, Miami, Boston College). With a win this week, Clemson (5-3) and Virginia Tech (5-3) can push the total to five. Maryland, Virginia and N.C. State are all but mathematically eliminated, leaving a group of four (UNC, Duke, Wake and FSU) for the final four spots.

Tudor's take, a player to watch, numbers and other observations about tonight's game.

The Pirates had their best, and most balanced, offensive performance of the season in Saturday's 49-13 victory over Rice.
Modified: 10/19/09 06:19:24 AM
The Pirates will win by three or four touchdowns over a Rice team that will be lucky to finish 2-10.

The Pirates could not capitalize on one of football's ultimate gifts -- an opponent's lack of discipline. SMU was flagged 12 times for a staggering 158 penalty yards but still earned a 28-21 upset win.
