Final Game Day Predictions: Navy vs. ECU

ECU will host its fourth consecutive home game to begin the season when it welcomes Navy for its American Athletic Conference opener. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN+.

ECU is a heavy favorite in this game. Navy is 0-2 and off a bye week. The Midshipmen will come in motivated and with intent. ECU will have to match that and play well in all phases to win.

Navy and ECU played a barn burner last season in Annapolis. The Pirates have a tough task in stopping Navy's triple option offense. Blake Harrell's defense must keep Tai Lavatai and the offense off the field. ECu's running game must get going like it did last Saturday.

Navy is without a win this season. ECU is undefeated this year. Mac Sullivan predicts ECu will win the game. He thinks EC U's rush and air attacks will be too much for Navy.

ECU will beat Navy. The game is a must watch. ECU has won both previous games. The Pirates are willing to compete against any team on their schedule. They will shut down Navy's offense. Griffen Myslewec predicts ECu will win.
