Army vs. East Carolina: Head-to-Head
The matchup will be the first time both teams have faced each other in almost 20 years. East Carolina defeated Army, 38-28 on October 30, 2004, with former Pirates quarterback James Pinkney scoring three touchdowns. On Saturday, quarterback Jake Garcia will hope to lead the Pirates to an upset victory over the Black Knights. Garcia has struggled this season with eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
East Carolina will also have to worry about Army's quarterback Bryson Daily from getting into the endzone. Daily has shown to be a threat by using his legs, with 14 rushing touchdowns through six games.
The betting odds favor Army to get another win this weekend. East Carolina's offense and defense must perform well to give the Black Knights a tough home game.
