No. 21 East Carolina looks for another slice of history in AAC visit to Temple

Published February 05, 2015

No. 21 East Carolina doesn't care about where it's ranked — just that the wins keep coming.

One more victory and Pirates will earn another slice of history.

East Carolina can match the best eight-game start in school history on Saturday by beating Temple.

The Pirates (6-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) have opened with a 7-1 record 10 times in their history, but they haven't done it since the 1999 team did it behind future NFL quarterback David Garrard.

They slipped three spots after last week's 10-point home win over Connecticut — a game that was 21-all in the fourth quarter — and debuted in the college football playoff rankings at No. 23.

They bring a five-game winning streak into their visit to Temple (4-3, 2-2).
