Montgomery making changes ahead of UConn
“I thought our guys played with effort and enthusiasm against Cincinnati,” said Montgomery. “However, effort and enthusiasm without execution produced a failing result.”
Both the Pirates (2-5, 0-3 AAC) and the Bearcats (4-3, 1-3 AAC) entered the game winless in conference, in dire need of a victory. Sitting at 2-5, ECU is now two losses away from losing its bowl eligibility.
“I have never put emphasis on a set number of wins,” said Montgomery. “I want us to be the best football team we can and we have not done that in my opinion. We haven’t won on Saturdays and that is a clear reflection on what we do during the week.”
