East Carolina will not be sneaking up on anybody this week. The West Virginia Mountaineers fully expect a tussle in their game with the Pirates Sep. 6. The Pirates 27-22 win over Virginia Tech last week caught a few folks by surprise but not those in Morgantown who had struggled with East Carolina in the past. The Pirates gave West Virginia fits in 2005 and 2006.
Oddsmakers at online sportsbook SBGglobal.com , have installed the Mountaineers as 7 ½ point favorites ATS and -300 money line with a 47 ½ point betting total. East Carolina backers are getting +250 money line odds as a home underdog.
The Pirates will be facing a different look from the Mountaineers today. While they aren’t abandoning the power spread, they will go to the air more than in the past. Last week senior quarterback Pat White completed 25-of-33 passes for 208 yards and a career-high five touchdowns on Saturday against Villanova.
In head coach Bill Stewart’s home debut, the Mountaineers showcased the versatility in their offense that offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen hopes can continue throughout the season. A healthy balance of passing and rushing paved the way for the Mountaineers to win their fifth consecutive season opener.
