What we learned yesterday (NC State/WVU)

Bill Stewart isnt technically on his way out yet he still will coach the team next year. They hired holgorson as the coach in waiting and he will take over after next year is over.

That teams in the midst of a coaching change tend to sh!t the bed in Bowl games.

When the school allows the current coach to finish out the season by coaching the Bowl game, the team doesn't respond well, like WVU and Bill Stewart yesterday.

Don't overthink it guys, Ralph Fridgen is on his way out for Maryland, and are 7.5 favorite over an ECU team that has beaten NC State, Tulsa and Southern Miss.

The sharp play is taking the points here guys!

This seems to be the minority play here at SBR, but I'm with you. I'm taking the points in this one.

I usually like your reads regul8er and again this time. Head Coaching turmoil and changes can have a big effect.

Yesterday is over, mizz screwed me too. Hoping to finish bowl season strong

Well first he isn't leaving this year and what are your other examples? Don't forget there are teams like San Jose State, Rice and Idaho who have better defenses than East Carolina.

Thanks mukas
Kufta...don't overthink this one. It will be a good oldfashioned shoutout, that will end in a one possession game either way.

Remember, ECU has had some nice success in their last 3 bowl games, dating back to 2007.
They beat Boise 41-38 in 06, lost to Kentucky 25-19 in 08, and lost to Arkansas 20-17 in OT last year.

These numbers shouldn't be ignored.
