ECU is having a great time right now. It has won four straight games and is going to a bowl game. Blake Harrell is reportedly going from being an interim coach to a full-time coach, and the offense is really fun to watch. In general, the future looks bright.
Navy can also go to a bowl game. The team has shown huge signs of improvement this year, and it is been fun to watch, but it has lost three of its last four games, and the offense has been terrible.
That is it for now. After a few weeks off for the Army game, they will be going to a bowl for the first time since 2019 for the first time.

Navy vs East Carolina: Who Will Win?
What is going so well for East Carolina these days? Now, really? Tempe, North Texas, Florida Atlantic, and Tulsa. Four bad teams with weak defenses lost to ECU.
A lot of turnovers were made by the defense in the first few weeks of the season, but they started taking the ball away again. In the last four games, the running game has gone off, gaining over 220 yards each time.
The difference between this and Navy is that Navy is not that bad. The run defense will work. Only Notre Dame, Memphis, and Tulane were better at stopping the run than this team.
Navy has more to offer than just a strong running game, but that is what will work here.
The team is 6-0 when running for 225 yards or more. They will be going up against ECU, which is ranked second in the country in terms of taking the ball late.
