East Carolina and NC State have agreed to play at noon ET on Dec. 1 in Raleigh, N.C., as long as neither team is in their respective conference championship game, the schools announced Tuesday.

Both schools had games canceled in Week 3 as a result of Hurricane Florence -- NC State was scheduled to host West Virginia, and East Carolina was scheduled to play at Virginia Tech.

NC State and East Carolina made it a priority to find a 12th game to fill out their regular-season schedules.

"This replacement game makes sense for both schools," NC State athletics Debbie Yow said in a statement.
