Preview Roundups
October 23, 2014
Connecticut at East Carolina 7:00 PM ET
East Carolina saw its prolific passing offense stalled early, but contributions from its less-heralded ground game and defense in its last contest saved the day. The 17th-ranked Pirates, who can match their best start since 1999 when they host Connecticut on Thursday, threw for a season-low 250 yards in a comeback victory over South Florida on Oct. 11. Despite being held 145.6 yards below its average through the air, East Carolina ran for three scores and shut out the Bulls in the second half.
Miami at Virginia Tech 8:00 PM ET
Following a long layoff from ACC play, the Miami Hurricanes get back at it when they visit Virginia Tech on Thursday for a matchup of teams in dire need of a league win. The Hurricanes have not played since posting a 55-34 triumph over Cincinnati on Oct. 11 and have not faced an ACC foe since losing 28-17 at Georgia Tech on Oct. 4, a defeat that saw Miami surrender 318 rushing yards.
