Pirate Pulse Predictions: ECU at UTSA

With everything still on the table in the American Conference, East Carolina heads into San Antonio knowing exactly what’s at stake. UTSA has never lost a conference home game under Jeff Traylor, a perfect 25-0 inside the Alamodome, and everyone around the program knows that streak is the giant sitting in the room. But the Pirates have momentum, confidence, and a locker room that believes they can knock down one more wall on the road to December.

Here’s how the Pirate Pulse crew sees it:

Trey Scott’s Prediction

“Today is a big day. UTSA coach Jeff Traylor is 25-0 at home — this is one obstacle the Pirates must tear down to have a chance at the American Championship. Add another brick to the championship fight because I have ECU painting this one purple. Houser leads ECU to a 26-7 win.”

Adam Johnson’s Prediction

“Gonna be a close game. UTSA is good. Gotta score early, keep the foot on the gas, and need to come away with some turnovers. Limit the big chunk plays because they are hard to beat at home. ECU 31, UTSA 24.”

Chance Scott’s Prediction

“I think the Pirates understand the task at hand. I'm sure Coach Harrell has drilled the long home winning streak in conference play for UTSA. I believe this is where we see the John David Baker offense take another step today. In the words of Preston Carr, ‘Draw a line in the parking lot and we will play there.’ ECU 35, UTSA 21.”
