Statistical Comparison: WVU vs ECU

By Andy Easton

Posted Sep 27, 2002

Compare the statistics between the Mountaineers and this week's opponent, the East Carolina Pirates.

West Virginia leads East Carolina in 15 of the 20 statistical categories. Hopefully, this is an indication of a WVU victory on Saturday.
