Coming off a bye week, Houston football kicks off the second half of its season Saturday afternoon as the Cougars host East Carolina.
Here is everything you need to know about this American Athletic Conference showdown between the Cougars and Pirates:
Pirates offense
Everything starts in the backfield for an ECU offense, which averages 161.5 rushing yards per game.
The Pirates are led by the dynamic duo of Keaton Mitchell and Rahjai Harris, who have combined for 931 yards and six touchdowns on 153 carries through ECU’s first six games.
UH defensive coordinator Doug Belk knows his defense has its hands full in trying to contain the two Pirates’ running backs who Belk said can change the game in just a matter of a few seconds.
