ECU dominates No. 8 West Virginia, snags upset win
Sep 6, 2008
East Carolina stunned the college football world with their last-minute win over Virginia Tech last week.
Make it two for two for the Pirates.
The Pirates crushed the eighth-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers 24-3 in Greenville Saturday afternoon, to record their second non-conference win in as many weeka against a top-25 team.
Patrick Pinkney was the MVP for ECU, as the veteran signal-caller went 22-28 for 236 yards and a touchdown in the school's first win against a top-10 team since 1999.
With the win, East Carolina recorded their third straight win over a top-25 team for only the second time in school history, dating back to last season's bowl victory over Boise State.
The Pirate defense held West Virginia without a touchdown for the first time since 2001.

ECU does have great defense. They are a very good team. Look out NCSU next weekend.
I am a Carolina Tarheels fan, but ECU beat the pants off of a West Virginia. I didn't see the game, but West Va. must have been asleep. ECU must have a great defense.
