Pirates set to face Temple on Thursday night

The East Carolina University (3-2, 0-1 AAC) football team will look to push its record to 4-2 on the season for the first time since 2013 on Thursday night against Temple University (3-1, 0-0 AAC). Playing inside Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina, the Pirates and Owls will be broadcast in prime time on ESPN.

“The spotlight is on our institution and our program,” head coach Mike Houston said. “I think you will see our student body rally around this. We need them. We want the Boneyard packed on Thursday night. It’s time for all of us to come together and support our football program.
