Coach Houston talked about your QB being a really dynamic dual threat guy. He said you are really physical on both the OL & DL. But that's about it.

For ECU... a really short & sweet rundown...

I'll start with this... UCF was really good.

Our biggest weaknesses:

OL is pretty darn bad. We rotate a lot of guys, but we are a long way off from being competitive in the AAC with this kind of OL.

DL is unbelievably young. Most of the kids who got reps against UCF played their first college football last week. We have lots of bodies to rotate, but they have virtually no experience. Growing pains.

Our biggest strengths:
Holton Ahlers. Kid is a warrior at QB and has to do it all. Most times he's running for his life.

Our WR's are the strength of our team. CJ Johnson is awesome, and is only a sophomore. They didn't have a great week against UCF, but we hope and expect them to perform like they did in the 2nd half of the 2019 season.

Surprisingly, our defensive secondary is as good as it has been in a long time. The PROBLEM is, our front 7 got virtually no pressure on the UCF QB and they had to cover for 8-10 seconds. But for the first time in a lonnnng time, we have DB's that can make plays.

Deep at RB with a couple of exciting young guys.

Shawn Elliot is a former OL coach and we have 4 returning starters up front. They are very physical and our RT is a likely draft pick. Our QB QB is a RS Freshman with a cannon arm. He is elusive enough. He can beat the rush and take off. It's hard to compare because we had Dan Ellington who was a ridiculous runner. Our defense seemed better in the first half but returned to bad habits in the second half vs Louisiana. This game will show us a lot one way or another.
