More on East Carolina

Miscues hurt East Carolina's offense in the first half, and ECU's defense is tired in the second half as Maryland jumps out to a 29-10 lead. East Carolina's offense resembles Oklahoma State's offense, but the Pirates look much slower than OSU's athletes. Also, East Carolina doesn't have a running back like Kendall Hunter, but few teams do. East Carolina runs a lot of passes over the middle, screens and some passes downfield.
East Carolina's offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley is 27-years old. He's younger than OSU's starting quarterback Brandon Weeden.

East Carolina coordinator mentioned as Holgorsen replacement

East Carolina plays Maryland at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN in the EagleBank Bowl. Offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Lincoln Riley has been mentioned as a possible replacement for OSU offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, who is leaving the Cowboys after the Alamo Bowl game to be offensive coordinator and head coach in waiting at West Virginia.
West Virginia's offense looked terrible in Tuesday night's 23-7 loss to North Carolina State in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fl. I can see why WVU went after Holgorsen and his inventiveness on offense.
OSU fans may want to tune into East Carolina's bowl game to see Riley's offense and how it might work at OSU.
