East Carolina Edges Pittsburgh Behind Strong Third Quarter

East Carolina defeated Pittsburgh 23-17 in Week 1 of the 2025 season, with the Pirates unable to overcome a dominant third quarter by the home team. The Pirates scored first in the second quarter with a touchdown, then added another in the third to keep pace, but East Carolina's explosive third-quarter performance proved decisive.

East Carolina's offense struck twice in the third quarter, with wide receiver A. Smith catching two touchdown passes from C. Ditta—one covering 72 yards and another from 47 yards out. A defensive fumble return for a touchdown by Rasheem Biles also fueled the Pirates' third-quarter assault, extending their lead to 23-10.

Pittsburgh's Mason Heintschel led the away offense with 256 passing yards, while Ja'Kyrian Turner was the team's leading rusher with 93 yards and also led in receiving with 8 catches. However, a late interception by East Carolina's K. Merrell sealed the outcome for the home team.

East Carolina covered the 6-point spread, and the game finished under the 59-point over-under total.
