ECU jumps back on the road this week, traveling to conference foe UCF after a big 52-29 win over Tulane a week ago. That win over the Green Wave lifted the Pirates’ record to 3-2 on the season and sets them up well going into the meat of AAc conference play.

UCF (2-2) is coming off a 34-30 loss at home to Navy, and has now lost two in a row, while ECU is riding a three-game win streak.

Saturday’s game with UCF begins at 6 p.m. and will be televised/streamed on ESPN+.
