Countdown to Kickoff: East Carolina

Posted Sep 19, 2014
No. 25 North Carolina will travel to a sold-out Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday (3:30pm/ESPNU) with intent to scrub the memory of last season’s blowout home loss to East Carolina. The Tar Heels (2-0) are a Vegas underdog for just the fifth time under Larry Fedora as the Pirates (2-1) are favored by three points. UNC leads the overall series, 12-3-1. (Inside Carolina)
