Pirates to face No. 23 SMU

The East Carolina University (3-6, 0-5 AAC) football team will attempt to win multiple road games in a season for the first time since 2015 when it travels to Dallas, Texas to face Southern Methodist University (8-1, 4-1 AAC) on Saturday.

Not long removed from being on the wrong end of a walk-off field goal that allowed the University of Cincinnati (7-1, 4-0 AAC) to leave Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium with a 46-43 edge, the Pirates will look to rebound against their second ranked opponent in as many weeks.

“The disappointing thing is not being able to secure that one, first really special win for our young program and we had that opportunity,” head coach Mike Houston said.
