East Carolina Dominates Army 28-6 in Week 5
East Carolina dominated Army 28-6 on Saturday, with the Pirates scoring 21 points in the first quarter to set the tone early. The home team controlled the game throughout, holding Army to just a field goal in the third quarter while adding a fourth-quarter touchdown to seal the victory.
Army's offense struggled to generate consistent momentum. Quarterback Dewayne Coleman completed 36 passes but the Black Knights managed only 6 points on the scoreboard. Army's defense made several pivotal plays, including a fourth-quarter stop that prevented further East Carolina scoring, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early deficit.
East Carolina's offense was efficient when it mattered most. Anthony Smith led the receiving corps with 87 yards, while London Montgomery rushed for 58 yards. The Pirates struck quickly, with Katin Houser connecting with Smith for a 40-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Kyler Pearson added a 32-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put the game away.
East Carolina covered the 3.5-point spread, and the final score came in under the 52.5-point over-under line.
