| College Football Preview: North Carolina vs. East Carolina |
The latest college football betting odds for this game and the entire schedule on week five can be found at online sportsbook, BetPhoenix. The North Carolina Tar Heels and the East Carolina Pirates meet Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in an inner-state battle. The Tar Heels are coming off a 35-28 loss at the hands of No.21 Georgia Tech. East Carolina defeated UAB Saturday 28-23 to get their first win of the season in their Conference USA season opener. Despite being 1-2 overall, East Carolina has shown some promise this season. Not very many teams could have started the season on a tougher note than the Pirates, who faced South Carolina and Virginia Tech to open the season. The Pirates jumped out to an early 21-0 lead on South Carolina before being overtaken by the Gamecocks, and narrowly lost to Virginia Tech 17-10. Needless to say, the Pirates will not be intimidated in the slightest when the Tar Heels come to town on Saturday. ECU survived a school record seven turnovers to hold on to beat UAB 28-23 last week, which is a testament to their character as a team. Quarterback Dominique Davis threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions. North Carolina showed resilience against Georgia Tech Saturday, and played steady with the talented Yellow Jackets. The Tar Heels fought back from a 28-14 deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game behind a strong performance from running back Giovani Bernard, who rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Bryn Renner got his first career road start against the Yellow Jackets, and despite throwing two interceptions, kept the Tar Heels offense moving in a game that turned into a shootout. The Pirates have worked out for college football betting fans as they have cashed the ticket in two out of the three outings. This game will come down to a high-octane offense against a top caliber defense. The Pirates will look to attack the Tar Heels defense early and often to attempt to get the early lead. The Pirates are also attempting to get entry into the Big East football conference. A win against a solid ACC team could open that door.
