Pirates pound ODU 30-11 in Season Opener

ODU seemed fully prepared for their first ever Division 1 FBS tilt; routes looked crisp, assignments were covered, and spirals were thrown perfectly. However, when it came time to leave it on the field, ECU had a lot more to offer to the football Gods. The game stayed competitive early, with DC Austin Moore's ECU defense forcing turnovers and playing tough, physical football with the Pirates. But a scoreless tie at the end of the first quarter quickly turned ugly as ODU offensive ineptitude and turnovers allowed ECU to score 23 unanswered points before halftime. An 11-0 3rd quarter briefly brought ODU back into the game, but the game was sealed by a C. Hunter TD run in the 4th to put it away. Overall, the defense showed that they can compete in stretches, but need some type of consistency from the offense to stay in games. Pinkard had a strong performance offensively for ODU, and an aggressive defensive line managed to pull off 3 sacks. The defensive will have to find a way to limit the YAC yards in the future, and the offense must cut down on penalties to sustain promising drives. It is back to the drawing board for HC David Wilder as ODU travels to Maryland next week for their first BCS-Conference opponent.
