Look for East Carolina to become bowl eligible at home this Saturday after their win and cover over Marshall.

Marshall has three straight wins beating UAB, Memphis, and Tulane. Three straight wins for the ECU Pirates as well beating SMU, So Miss, and Cent Fla, and one more puts them in a bowl.

Marshall is 4-5 and with some very tough games coming up against UTEP and So Miss, and looks to be home for the holidays. East Carolina has not played in a bowl since 2001, but will be ready to accept a bid following Saturday's win.

ECU head coach Skip Holtz has done a super job this season, and the folks in Greenville better pay attention because there will be several schools after him following the season. With the superior talent ECU wins and covers.
