ECU pulls out resilient last minute win over ODU
Junior wide receiver Deondre Farrier during Saturday's game against Old Dominion University.Boos rained down on East Carolina University head coach Scottie Montgomery as he made a decision to punt on fourth-and-one with 2:32 left in the fourth quarter.
Montgomery’s trust in the defense was rewarded, as the defense made big play after big play down the stretch, and sophomore Reid Herring returned to march the offense down the field to set up a Jake Verity game-winning field goal.
In the end, ECU (2-2, 0-1 AAC) showed off its newfound resiliency in a close 37-35 win over Old Dominion University, a win which also displayed the program’s growth in the last year.
