Why Houston Will Win

Who wants to have some fun?

Houston games are a lot of things, but they’re sure as shoot not boring.

The offense continues to crank up yards in chunks. It’s the best in the AAC on third downs and bombs away with the league’s most efficient passing game.

The defense might have its issues, but the line is good at getting into the backfield, the run defense isn’t that bad, and again with the passing game – Houston is 4-1 when throwing for more than 275 yards.

East Carolina gave up 275 or more passing yards five times, but …

Why East Carolina Will Win

No, really. Who wants to have some FUN?

Houston games are high-powered shootouts with the defense giving up lots and lots and lots of yards. If you thought the 77-63 Cougar loss to SMU was wild, a week later Temple threw for 486 passing yards and made things interesting.

Welcome to the Houston defense, Holton Ahlers.

The long-time East Carolina quarterback has been fantastic – throwing for over 2,900 yards so far with 20 touchdowns and just five picks. He hasn’t given it away in the last four games. The Pirate offense hasn’t turned it over int he last four games, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Houston wins when it throws for a gajillion yards. East Carolina is 4-0 when it throws for 300 yards or more.

East Carolina is 6-0 when it scores more than 20 points. It’s going to score more than 20 points.

Why Houston Will Win

It’s all working.

Houston’s offense is fine. It’s hitting from the outside, it’s doing a great job on the move, and it’s converting off of all the mistakes it’s creating – and that’s the key.

The Cougars do a phenomenal job of forcing turnovers, and they’re doing an even stronger job on the offensive boards. They’re second in the nation on the offensive glass, and East Carolina is lousy at cleaning things up. But …

Why East Carolina Will Win

ECU isn’t bad at moving the ball around.

It’ll turn the ball over enough to matter, but it’s able to generate open shots and it should be able to avoid the Houston pressure for stretches. It has to be able to use its ability to generate assists to knock down a few more threes – and that’s been the problem during this cold streak.

Over the last five games the threes are falling at all, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The Pirates don’t rebound well enough and they’re not careful enough with the ball. Houston will get up early and ECU won’t be able to hit from the outside to get back in the game.

Struggling from the field and not being able to rebound is a deadly combination against this Houston machine.
