ITS HOMECOMING WEEK, AND THE FANS WERE EXTRA EXCITED FOR THIS CONFERENCE GAME AGAINST TEMPLE!

WITH JIMI HENDRIX'S PURPLE HAZE BLARING DURING PRE-GAME OF THIS NIGHT GAME, THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ELECTRIC!

COACH FALK III FELT VERY STRONGLY ABOUT HIS GAME PLAN AND COMING OFF OF THE LOSS AT MEMPHIS, KNEW THIS WAS JUST ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU COME TO A MUST WIN.

BOTH SIDES UNDERSTOOD THAT BECAUSE THIS WAS THE UGLIEST OR MOST BEAUTIFUL FIRST HALF OF FOOTBALL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU LIKE TO SEE. THIS HOMECOMING GAME TURNED INTO A DOWNRIGHT DEFENSIVE SLOBBERKNOCKER. EACH SIDE TRADING BLOWS AND A MISSED FG AND SEVERAL TURNOVERS RESULTED IN A 3-0 LEAD BY THE PIRATES AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF.

STARTING OFF WITH THE BALL IN THE SECOND HALF THE TEMPLE OWLS TOOK THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD AND SCORED A TOUCHDOWN TAKING THE LEAD ON A 13 YARD RUN BY THE QB.

EAST CAROLINA CAME RIGHT BACK DOWN THE FIELD AND ANTHONY WATLEY (TE) SCORED A 1 YARD TOUCHDOWN TO TAKE THE LEAD RIGHT BACK - 10-7!

THE EAST CAROLINA DEFENSE WAS THE TRUE STORY OF THE SECOND HALF, AFTER COUGHING THE BALL UP THREE TIMES (2 INT'S AND 1 FUMBLE - ALL BY HOLTON AHLERS), THE DEFENSE WAS FORCED TO RESPOND, AND DID THEY!

STOPPING THE OWLS ON MULTIPLE FOURTH DOWN OPPORTUNITIES ON OUR SIDE OF THE FIELD, THE PIRATE DEFENSE REALLY EMBODIED WHAT THE "NO QUARTERS" REPRESENTS BY NOT ALLOWING THE OWLS TO SCORE ANOTHER POINT! JAKE VERITY ADDED AN INSURANCE FG AT THE END, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT NEEDED! THE PIRATES TOOK THIS ONE 13-7 BUT THERE WILL BE SOME BAD BLOOD FOR NEXT YEARS MATCH UP I AM SURE!

NO TIME TO CELEBRATE THIS ONE HOWEVER AS THE PIRATES ARE ON THE ROAD NEXT WEEK AGAINST CINCINNATI AND WHAT SHOULD BE A VERY BRUTAL AMERICAN CONFERENCE GAME.
