Houston Cougar Game Day 6 - Houston vs East Carolina

vs
October 8, 2011 
6:00 p.m.
Houston, TX
University of Houston Campus
Robertson Stadium
Overall Series - East Carolina leads 6-4
Last Meeting - East Carolina 38 Houston 32 in 2009 C-USA Championship Game

With conference realignments still the major story of the college football season, there is still some action on the field.

The Cougars continue to hover just outside the Top 25 in both AP and Coaches polls.  Sporting a 5-0 record and a struggling defense, the Coogs appear to impress enough voters to get them into the polls.

East Carolina rolls in with a 1-3 record but 1-0 in conference.  The Pirates played three AQ BCS opponents in four games.  They played Virginia Tech to a 17-10 loss.  In C-USA play, the Pirates defeated UAB 28-23.  I planned on going over the offensive stats of the Pirates but the Cougar defense makes all that irrelevant as they make the anyone seem like world beaters.
