Live scores, highlights and updates from the East Carolina vs. Houston football game
This Saturday, the Houston Cougars are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 36.2 points per game. Houston and the East Carolina Pirates will face off in an American Athletic battle at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. East Carolina will need to watch out since the Cougars have now posted big point totals in their last three contests.
Houston beat the Temple Owls 43-36 last week. RB Stacy Sneed was the offensive standout of the matchup for Houston, rushing for two TDs and 143 yards on 11 carries.
Speaking of close games: it was a hard-fought contest, but East Carolina had to settle for a 27-25 defeat against the Cincinnati Bearcats last Friday. RB Keaton Mitchell put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for one TD and 112 yards on 16 carries.
The Cougars are expected to lose this next one by 6. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 2-6 ATS, to cover the spread.
Houston's win lifted them to 6-4 while East Carolina's loss dropped them down to 6-4. Both teams might be coming in a bit winded after having run the length of the field multiple times in their most recent games.
