East Carolina traveled west to UNC’s Kenan Stadium on Saturday, September 28th for a match-up of in-state rivals. Saturday was UNC’s Military Appreciation Day, and Carolina wore stars-and-stripes uniforms to match the military-inspired field. Both teams threw for over 350 yards, but East Carolina’s offense was too much for UNC’s defense as the Pirates rolled to a 55-31 victory.
