ECU Looking For Another Pillage

There history says that after a Big Four win the next week you can look for a downer for the Pirates but this week is another Power Five team that looks ripe for the taking.  The Pirates have Virginia Tech still to come and should they pop both the Gamecocks and Gobblers that would be three wins to be top 20 or better.

ECU 2-0 @ South Carolina 1-1:  Might be a good time to play the Gamecocks with a new coach in town and just losing their first conference game.  I like what I see in the Pirates so far as Coach Montgomery has brought energy to the program.  I am right on the edge on this one.  I think somehow or other South Carolina wins this one SC 28 ECU 26

ODU 1-1 @ N C State 1-1:  Looking into the Pack schedule this could be the last game all year in which they are favored.  Doeren and company had better win this one.  Pack 42 ODU 13

James Madison 2-0 @ North Carolina 1-1:  Do you realize that the Dukes have scored 80 in a game already this year.  They won't come close to that in Chapel Hill.  Carolina 38 JMU 13

Duke 1-1 @ Northwestern 0-2:  After Wake manhandled the Devils and Northwestern can't beat anybody I don't know how to call this game.  I bet that Duke plays like a team on a mission.  Duke 27 Northwestern 21

North Carolina Wesleyan 0-2. @ Shenandoah 2-0. Another tough loss for the Battling Bishops 30-23

Delaware 2-0 @ Wake Forest 1-1:  There is no team that improved more from week one than the Demon Deacons.  I have a hard time playing a team that their nickname is a hen especially a Blue Hen.  Have you ever seen a blue hen?  This will not be a runaway.  WF 26- Delaware 21

Last week the eastern part of North Carolina was in hysteria when N C State came to Greenville.  The other major D 1 player out west Appalachian State host their first ever Power Five team in Boone.  I doubt if you are heading northwest of Winston Salem the roads will be backed up for miles.

Miami 2-0 @ App ST 1-1:  Don't know whether Miami has beaten anybody yet to be scare of them yet.  The Mountain boys give it a ride but come up short.  Miami 26 App St 23

Florida St 2-0 @ Louisville 2-0:  The college football world will be rocked after Louisville beats FSU . The Cardinals 36 Noles 33

Vanderbilt 1-1 @ Georgia Tech 2-0:   Lionel Richey and the Commodores win this one 30-20

South Carolina St 0-2 @ Clemson 2-0:  Bad week to play the Tigers after last week's mess.  Clemson 65 SC ST 10

Boston College 1-1 at Virginia Tech:  Low scoring BC against Virginia Tech and their great defensive coach.  I think they gave up 45 to Tennessee.  BC can't score enough to win this VT 24 BC 13

Virginia 0-2 @ U Conn 1-1:  I don't see the Cavs going to Huskieville and winning U Conn 30 UVA 26

Pitt 2-0 at Oklahoma  St 1-1:  I think Pitt is the sleeper team of ACC but remember they beat Penn St last week and that is like ECU beating any Big Four school.  After being embarrassed last week Okla St rebounds but just barely.  38-35

Michigan State 1-0 at Notre Dame 2-0:  Michigan State took last week off to prepare.  Irish 30 Mich St 21

South Florida 1-1 @ Syracuse 1-1:  I have thought hard on this one.  Orange 36 S Florida 32

Right here in Rocky Mount the 19th annual Viking Down East Classic.  Morehouse College 2-0 against The Vikings of Elizabeth City State 0-2.  I think this will tell you everything you need to know about this one.  The Vikings gave up 83 points last week at Fordham.  Morehouse 36 ECSU 23.

Last week went 11-3 to go with 12-3 in the first week to be 23-6 so far on the season.
