no idea what it is like to defend them until you have done it. I'm not saying ECU are world beaters but you do realize they beat Virginia Tech and took Florida down to the wire. They are athletic on the perimeter and that is where we struggle.

ECU fan perspective (Some questions & analysis): (1) Will BYU be on its A game?

I think most knowledgeable BYU fans have looked at this game as a challenge

If this BYU team didn't learn from last year then ECU easily wins.
