BYU Visits East Carolina Tonight for 7:30 p.m. ET Kickoff on ESPN2

BYU faces a hostile road test that contrasts its run-first identity with ECU’s high-volume passing.

Overview

  • The matchup at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville marks BYU’s first road game of the season and the fourth meeting in the series ECU leads 2-1.
  • BYU enters 2-0 after wins over Portland State and Stanford, leaning on a rushing attack topping 300 yards per game and a defense that has yet to allow a touchdown.
  • True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier gets his first true road start as coaches on both sides highlighted the challenging environment awaiting the Cougars.
  • ECU is 2-1 behind senior quarterback Katin Houser’s efficient air show — 973 passing yards on roughly 71% completions — plus a pass rush tied for fourth nationally with 10 sacks and a defense allowing about nine points per game.
  • Viewers can stream via ESPN.com/watch or Fubo, with Lowell Galindo, Aaron Murray and Lauren Sisler on the call, and radio coverage available on SiriusXM 143 and BYU/KSL.
