The fact that ECU isn't 6-1 so far this year solely because of our KICKER is insane 😭

[@neilsonbryant4579]

East Carolina looks like they have a solid team this year

[@hunter_5657]

They are a sleeper team

[@Christiansen3118]

They went 3-9 didn’t they 😂

[@JohnBeezy3]

How are y’all not going to show the missed extra point?

[@TheDucatiPilot]

I was thinking the same! I said to myself, "did they go for 2 or something, and not make it?". The ESPN video editor should be fired.

[@MTRyan321]

That was just stupid

[@dandrumms1]

i was thinking the sameee thing! but we almost lost because we started getting sloppy on offense and blew 2 red zone scores

They didn’t score a single point in the second half…East Carolina beat themselves. But unless you were at the game you’ll never give ECU credit, there wasn’t a single pack fan celebrating in Greenville

@@bradleywatson7734 you could say the same thing for ECU. Punt blocked for a TD and 2 ints. Y’all got outplayed the second half and we got outplayed the first half.

[@PanthersCentral704]

Fumbled at the goal line and a failed 4th-down conversion. Shouldn’t have been a close game to begin with if not for turning the ball over but a win is a win. We would’ve been in the same boat as Va Tech and BC.

[@ECUCHRIS904]

The ball would of been out of the Pirates zone with a score. Can't really say you would get two TDs out of that.

[@kylerwilhelm1638]

What about the blocked punt for a TD for NC State. Credit to special teams but ECU would’ve won if y’all didn’t get that

You crazy it’s a rival game in week one they are always close I bet nc state straighten out after week 2 and is a 11-1 team very possible 12-0

Thank goodness for special teams and defense in this game because offensive highlights were far and few between. Also ESPN highlights suck, so that doesn't help.

[@latanyajones.3936]

Right they should showed the special teams

[@scottwilliams556]

Pack has got a bunch of things they need to fix. Penalties especially pre snap . Offense was not sharp especially at the goal line.. Running the ball up the middle isis insane How about a Qb bootleg . You have try somethi g different to throw off the defense . ECU probably should have one . Very fortunate to win this game. . You got to pose your will when you have the upper hand and they did not do it .

[@veveacemikeb97]

Pirates look good this year! Holton Ahlers looks very composed this year and his solid offensive line is giving him plenty of time. Pirates defense was exceptional and protected well against most runs and the open field. Pirate defensive line put lots of pressure on the Wolfpack QB. Pirates needed a little more run plays and some crossing patterns for their receivers to pick up short yard gains. Also, special teams need to fine tune a bit to compliment the rest. Though, overall a great game! Consistent energy and flow from both teams, from start to finish! Favorite play of the game: 4th quarter 1022 remaining. State has the ball 4th and goal. Pirates come up with a huge defensive goal line stop for the second time!

[@jinwoo7378]

Bruh.. that kicker sold them so hard, Missed PAT AND the field goal. I bet he is feeling this tonight. If he is still on the team, he better get up for practice extra early the next day. Cant be missing those man.

[@tibora13]

that's 1 thing I know about FG kicks in college is that it's extremely hard incomparable to the NFL because college has to kick on the verticals on either side of possession making the timing & the awareness from defenders while trying to hit it from an obtuse angle

[@XayLetsTalkMore]

I can’t imagine how it feels to be a kicker who missed a game winning field goal. Literally your only job is to make field goals. A kicker don’t have to learn a playbook or nothing, just kick accurately.
