East Carolina Scouting Report
They are 115th in the country at rushing S&P+. Their line is LAST in the country at getting push off the LOS. Their RBs aren't too bad when they get an opportunity. But, they rarely get a good opportunity to get to the next level.

Their passing offense is actually not bad. Not great, but not bad either. On 3rd downs, their adjusted S&P+ offense is 6th in country.

In fact, their biggest threat in the running game is when they put in Summers at QB.

On run defense, their DL stinks. They get pushed off the line easily and they can't stop "power" runs and they rarely stuff the RB for no loss or worse.

The strength of their defense is their LBs. They can't stop the run game but they also limit explosive running plays. Their DBs are also susceptible to the big pass plays (95th in country at limiting passing explosiveness).

This game will play into our strengths on offense. Our line is still 2nd in the country at getting push off the line. While our RBs aren't going to get big plays, we won't need them either. We will have the potential for Tanner to make some big plays in this game through the air.

We will need it too as ECU is decent on offense - especially if they play Summers at QB. He averages 9 yards per carry and almost 12 yards per pass attempt.

This one will be high scoring as I think ECU will end up scoring in the high 20s or low 30s. If Kemp plays, we will be able to hold them down in points a LOT easier.
