How should we grade the East Carolina Pirates’ first year under Scottie Montgomery? Its a question that’s been bugging me. On one had, there is the strict way of it. The Pirates were terrible. They went 3-9, lost to Cincinnati, played defense in the same way an open door keeps intruders out and and had just one win against the American Athletic Conference. However, a more lenient professor may point to the fact that Montgomery led the team to a win over NC State and a near upset of South Carolina on the road while employing one of the more prolific offenses in the league.
