East Carolina Pirates and Florida Atlantic Owls Set for Key Matchup as Owl Seek Bowl Eligibility and Pirates Aim to End Slump.

Game outlook

This Saturday, the 1-8 East Carolina Pirates will travel to Boca Raton to take on the 4-5 Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Stadium. Although East Carolina comes into the match up off a loss to Tulane, the Pirates have been playing closer games as of late, while the Owls have dropped two out of their last three. Both teams will have key absences on Saturday, with East Carolina TE Shane Calhoun and WR Kerry King out, and Florida Atlantic QB Casey Thompson, S Armani-Eli Adams, LB Justice Cross, and RB Zuberi Mobley all sitting out the match.
