Tonight’s game against East Carolina may go a long way toward determining if the Cougars (4-4) can get to six wins this year.
, that is where BYU sits as the ninth week of the season hits. And looking at the remaining games, tonight’s game against East Carolina may go a long way toward determining if the Cougars can get to six wins this year.on the schedule — the one game where BYU should be heavy favorites — the Cougars most likely need to take just one of the three games against ECU, Boise or Stanford to qualify for a bowl game.
That said, beating ECU is still a tall task. The Pirates have the 21st-ranked offense in the country, led by a senior quarterback and a stable of strong running backs. For BYU’s struggling defense,this opponent doesn’t get any easier. It could be argued that the team from the American Athletic Conference actually has the best offense out of Liberty and Arkansas.
So, on a short week, BYU’s bowl chances may come down to the offense keeping pace in a shootout. It wasn’t what many anticipated, but it would be fitting for this season’s postseason hopes to ride once again on quarterback
