ECU recognizes mental health days

Two events to educate
students

ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER

Tomorrow the Center for
Counseling and Student Devel-
opment will sponsor World
Mental Health Day at ECU.

World Mental Health Day,
which was observed for the first
time in 1992, is a nationally rec-
ognized event that aims to edu-
cate people about different mental
health issues and diseases.

oThis is the first year that
World Mental Health Day has
been observed at ECU, ? said
Renita Moore, a mental health
outreach specialist.

oOur goal is to create aware-
ness about mental health, but
also to encourage people to
pay more attention to their
emotional state on a day to day
basis. We want to raise aware-
ness about the negatives and
celebrate being healthy mentally
as well as emotionally. ?

In an effort to educate stu-
dents about mental health,
Moore and other peer health
educators will be in front of
Wright Plaza playing oCatch the
Facts ? from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

oCatch the Facts ? is a passport
event that will -give students a
chance to catch a ball and answer
multiple-choice questions.

Students will also receive olife
survival kits ? that contain candy
and other inspirational items.

investigation on alleged noose

: GREENVILLE (Oct. 5, 2007) "East Carolina
_ University officials today announced the comple-
tion of an investigation into the report of an alleged
noose found in the basement of Belk Residence Hall

Todd Johnson, interim vice provost for student life,
said the investigation by ECU police included inter-
views with students who live in the hall, a review of
surveillance tapes from security cameras in the area,
and a thorough examination of the entire basement
of the building. Police spent more than 100 hours on

ECU police were unable to conclude whether a
noose had been found, according to Johnson. The
rope had been untied by students before investigating
officers arrived on the scene minutes atten a report
was called in by a student on Sept. 22, Johnson said.
A piece of rope was found at the scene, but pieces of
similar material were found throughout the basement,

inconclusive nature of the investigation, the univer-
sity takes seriously the concerns that students have

On Thursday, the Center

National Depression Screen-

As part of National

students will be able to receive
freedepression screeningsat the
Mendenhall Student Center.

Students will have
the chance to fill out a
self-scoreable question-
naire and go over their
answers with the counselors at

the screening.

oIt Ts not a test that will show
students if they are or aren Tt
depressed, it will just get students
thinking about different aspects
of their lives, T Moore said.

oIt Ts a great opportunity for
students even if they are just
curious or don Tt feel like they're
depressed. It Ts a chance to learn

mental health issues such as
depression and eating disorders
are prevalent at ECU.

ASG president pulls back
statement of resignation

Jones waits to
implement oexit
strategy ?

NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER

UNC Association of Student
Governments (ASG) president,
M. Cole Jones, retracted his state-
ment of resignation on Oct. 6.

Jones, who announced his res-
ignation on Sept. 26, was expected
to have officially stepped down by
last Saturday Ts ASG assembly at
UNC-Pembroke.

ASG is an association of all
16 UNC schools T student govern-
ments that cooperatively serve
the public institutions of North
Carolina as a whole.

While it was assumed by
administration that Jones would
be resigning, Jones T statement had
not been. put.into formal. writing.

Jones has decided to remain

. in position until he is able to

implement an oexit strategy ?
that will include a plan of action
to restructure ASG after he has
stepped down.

According to ASG officials,
Jones T retraction draws concern
for the credibility of the asso-
ciation. :

Jones initial announcement
of resignation came after an ASG
decision not to allow Jones to
serve on the ASG Board of Gov-

ernors after he was convicted on
Aug 1. for assault and assault
with a lethal weapon in a dispute
involving the maternal aunt and
grandmother of Jones T son Zion
that occurred on Feb. 14, 2007.

While holding the nomina-
tion for president of ASG, Jones
was facing impeachment as
president of ECU Student Gov-
ernment Association (SGA) for
violating the Oath of Office and
Student Code of Conduct.

According to ASG officials,
Jones T legal troubles were caus-
ing a distraction in the organi-
zation Ts effort to reestablish itself
as an active student voice in the
UNC system.

oThe Board of Governors
has stated that there is a lack of
structure ?, said Keri Brockett,
ECU SGA president and interim
chair of the president Ts council
for ASG.

oWe started strong in the
summer, but we strayed away
from the agenda. ?

In congruence with Jones T
resignation, UNC-Charlotte has
removed its delegates from par-
ticipation until ASG has resolved
its lack of continuity.

The more prominent chal-
lenge that ASG faces is filling
the student seat on the Board of
Governors. The seat has been
open for three months.

a successful

outing for Student Outreach

Event had its biggest
turnout yet

WILLIAM HALL
STAFF WRITER

ECU hosted Teacher Cadet
Day 2007 on Oct- 2 in the
Mendenhall Student Center.

The event, sponsored by the
Office of Professional Develop-
ment and Student Outreach, was
designed to help high school
students who are ifiterested in
becoming teachers better under-

stand what it takes to reach that
goal. :

The first activity of the day
was a lecture from featured
speaker and 2007 North Caro-
lina Teacher of the Year, James
Bell Jr.

The Chowan Middle School
English teacher stressed the
importance of the relationship
between the student and the
teacher, and he also talked about
the non-traditional routes to
becoming an educator.

He pointed out that it is not
necessary to go from high school

to college then directly into a
teaching position.

oHe Ts known for having lots
of energy and enthusiasm for
teaching, ? said Dr. Diana Lys,
lead coordinator for the Office
of Professional Development and
Student Outreach.

oHe knows that there are
lots of different ways to get
into teaching and influencing
people. ? :

After the opening lecture,
attendees went to the combined
Scholarship Opportunities and
Admissions panel.

There, the future teachers
learned about the necessary
admissions process to ECU and
what scholarships are available
to them.

Some of the scholarships
include éhe Teaching Fellows
Scholarship and the Prospective
Teacher Scholarship.

The second panel was an
overview of the ECU Teacher's
Education Program, which
discussed admission to the pro-
gram, what getting a teaching
degree entails, and what levels
and practices are available to

students once they become
teachers.

The third panel was a stu-
dent-based panel featuring mem-
bers from the Student Education
Council.

This provided attendees
with the students T perspective on
why they chose to be teachers.

The panel discussed their
daily tasks and lesson planning
techniques.

Teacher Cadet Day ended

will help people on campus. ?

Moore encourages students to
honor World Mental Health Day
and National Depression Screen-

events and learning something

about their emotional health.
oSome of our students are suffer-

ing in silence and not reaching out for

the help that they need, ? Moore said.
oIt's important to observe days

like this to add another dimension of

wellness to what students think about
when they think about being healthy
and well. We want students to place
the same emphasis on mental health
that they do on nutrition and getting

enough sleep. We hope these events
will get students to recognize their
emotional state as part of their health. ?

Why you should
90 to church

Forget prayer

YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER

I am surprised, Christians - I did not know
you were much for Local Area Network (LAN)
parties. Skimming the New York Times the
other day, an article describing how to attract
today Ts youth to church caught my attention. A
recent gimmick among pastors in boosting their
turnout: Halo. Now before I ponder whether the
youth Ts interest in their faith was so poor to
begin with that video games such as Halo had
to be introduced, I have to ask. Can I get in on
these tourneys?

There are so many ways to spin this article;
it is like churches are doing my work for me. I
will. start with the most obvious, which is the
fact that churches are using a popular first-
person shooter game to lure children and teens
to religion. I mean, was Left Behind so horribly
unappealing graphics-wise you had to ask old
Microsoft for help? At least with Left Behind
you can explain to kids that you are not killing
innocent people, per say. You are simply freeing
their souls from Satan!

Microsoft has stated in multiple instances
that Halo is not a metaphor for real life and should
not be made into a broad allusion to religion. It is
simply a violent, addictive and competitive video
game. So where does this leave us, except with the
idea of attempting to pass off the Mature-rated
shooter as religious togetherness.

I have a few years of religious teaching under
my belt, and while bribing kids with Skittles
might be acceptable in grade school, I.am sure
teachers and youth leaders can do better than
Halo 3. Do not think this is a limited position of
a single church. When organizations like Focus
on the Family and the Institute on Religion and
Democracy take interest in church practices, it
means numerous groups are raising their voice.

Then again, maybe the problem does not
rest solely on the shoulders of the church, but
with the parents as well. I think everyone would

agree that if parents themselves are religious, ©

they should not be using youth programs as
the sole means for raising their children in the
faith or as a means to babysit their kids for a
few hours a week.

A letter to the
Pirate Nation

Transporting the fans from the stadium to the coliseum

JESSICA DUNLOW
OPINION WRITER

I have to admit there is nothing better than
sitting in the middle of the student section
during our football games surrounded by hot,
sweaty, screaming fans. The purple and gold
cheer, singing the fight song, oStick It In, ? and
my personal favorite, the staple fumble dance to
Apache (a.k.a., oJump On It! ?).

Although, we have to all admit it, when
football season ends, the majority of our pirate
nation moves on to cheer for other teams. Col-
lege basketball is starting up in the coming
weeks and most die-hard fans stick to the teams
they pulled for before deciding to attend ECU,
those with well-known and harvested basket-
ball programs like Chapel Hill, N.C. State and
Duke. Does anyone recall that our women Ts
basketball team made it to the NCAA tourna-
ment last year?

It is understandable that football is the most
supported sport at our school, because normally,
we, the non-athletically active, just do not want
to buy tickets to sports where we cannot tail-
gate or scream at the top of our lungs for hours.
Although baseball season does attract a larger
crowd than the winter sports, admittedly.

Let Ts do something about this. Let Ts learn
to love our lesser-supported sports teams and
then maybe our school will begin to as well. I
find it somewhat unfair that the other varsity
teams take a significantly far-back backseat to
our football program (which I love, don Tt get me
wrong). It just seems unfair to watch our bas-
ketball teams play to somewhat empty coliseum
seats, the baseball stadium only filled during

Everyone received the email from Terry Hol-
land about our fabulous school spirit, and how
loud and long we cheer and support our Pirates.
. [ just find it hard to believe that with all this
Pirate spirit we exude that we somehow lose it
over the period after football ends.

Yes, I know our opinion writers harass you
for wearing other schools T clothes and hats on
our campus. I do not ask for that, I want every-
one to support the Pirates wholeheartedly, bad
seasons and all.

One small step at a time, however. Starting
with basketball season, let us show the stu-
dents that play our varsity sports that we can
take that loud rocking student section into the
coliseum and the bleachers for every sport. If
we truly bleed purple and gold, we will bleed it
for every sport, no matter what team we grew
up cheering for.

I will see you in the stands.

The question of oWhy? ?

this question on the families. Why? Why now?

The burden of a three letter word

MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER

It is hard to believe that in a world where man
can travel to the moon, see the microscopic ele-
ments of an atom and dive for hours to the great
depths of the sea, anything should be unknown.
It is hard to believe that things happen without
an answer to the question, oWhy? ? But these
things occur, and there are instances in which

- one will never know owhy. ?

One of these tragedies of life occurs when
someone commits suicide. The family and friends
are left with no other question. Sometimes there
are guesses or hindsight of clarity, but in the end,
one will never know for sure.

To me, nothing is a greater tragedy than the
death of a young person, a person who has not yet
experienced enough of the world and recognized
the amazing opportunities there are. When these
opportunities are taken away from a person by
some reason of illness or accident, there is no
greater loss. But when the individual takes his or
her own life, it seems the reason becomes more
important than the how.

I cannot even begin to imagine the weight of

A guy I knew committed suicide recently. It
was rumored, although I did not know it for sure,
that he had tried to make several phone calls to
friends and family before he did it. When I learned
this, I could not help but feel a greater sadness for
the burden I knew they were to carry. The question
that will burden them for the rest of their lives is
not, oWhy? ? but oWhat if? ?

I think this question is quite possibly the worst
burden of all life. There is no comparison to the
hypothetical ifs and buts about a subject as serious
as the absence of life.

But it is not their fault to have missed the
calls, to have missed the signs. No one was
awake and no one was ready for that phone
call. How will they come to the realization
that it is not their fault and they did not have
control? No matter how many people tell them
that the fault does not lie with them, they must
determine it for themselves.

I think about how often circumstances such
as this must occur. How many times does some-
one reach out before committing the final act
of ending one Ts life? And then I immediately
think of the lives that will ask, oWhy? ? and
oWhat if? ?

Forget Rudy Huxtable and that silly
frog

J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER

Don Tt get me wrong. I Tm no Green Peace ter-
rorist out to blow up whaling ships; I Tm as worried
about global warming as my father and grandfather
were about global cooling in the T70 Ts and T40 Ts; and
the earth is not my mother ... but it is my home.
I think it is our duty to be good stewards of the
earth, and there are some simple things we can
do that require little time, effort, or expense, and
are good for the environment at the same time.

We use energy efficient light bulbs in our house.
They Tre rather expensive " at least by low-income
student standards " but they save us money on our
utility bills and last longer than incandescent bulbs.
Perhaps the easiest thing we can do for the envi-
ronment is recycling. I became interested in this
when I learned of the monthly fees on our utility
bills whether we use our curbside recycling bins or
not. The wife and I didn Tt even have a bin, so I called
and had one delivered. It Ts a paltry amount, but if
we're being charged at all, it Ts stupid not to use it.

How many plastic drink bottles and steel
food cans does your household go through in
a week? We eat three meals a day and have
something to drink with each one. It adds
up. Why send all that perfectly good refuse
to the landfill when it can be used again?

We recycle our plastic grocery bags. We use
some of them again for lunch bags and trashcan
liners, and the rest we take to the recycling barrel,
outside Food Lion. Perhaps I should check to make
sure they really are recycling those bags. When I
worked at Harris Supermarket, a now defunct com-
pany once headquartered here in Greenville, we had
a barrel that the store manager would have someone
go empty into the dumpster whenever it was full.

If you're reading this, you have a newspaper to
recycle. My bin contains almost as many newspa-
pers as it does bottles. Cardboard can be recycled,
as well as the reams of junk mail we all hate.

At least once a week, our mailboxes are
stuffed with the same coupons, circulars, and
insurance ads that are stuck in our newspapers.
Those of us with P.O. boxes get triple the aggra-
vation. Throw in the daily credit card offers,
and that Ts a whole lot of trees dying needlessly.

Each time I check my box, I see the trashcans in
the post office overflowing with junk mail, so I came
up with a simple solution: requiring the U.S. Postal
Service to provide recycling bins in their facilities.

I wrote to Rep. G.K. Butterfield, Sens. Eliza-
beth Dole and Richard Burr, and Postmaster
General John Potter, as well as Sen. Daniel Akaka
(D-HI) and Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL), who
chair their respective chambers T subcommittees
dealing with the USPS. I shared my idea with
each and pointed out how this would be a good
opportunity for the federal and local govern-
ments to work together since most municipalities
have some. sort of recycling program already.

Three months later, I have only received
a response " if you could call it that " from
Dole. She never once mentioned my issue, but
did thank me three times for sharing my con-
cerns. I didn Tt expect much from her or Burr,
though any acknowledgement is better than none.

I Tm really disappointed in the three Democrats,
especially Butterfield. My own representative
" the first line of defense, so to speak " should
have the gumption to respond in a timely manner.
I thought any green issue drew Democrats like an
outhouse draws flies.

I voted for Dole, Burr, and Butterfield, and
they can count on my remembering their shoddy
constituent service when they come up for reelec-
tion. But, even without the help of the government,
I can still have an impact on the environment in
my own small way.

Go thou and do likewise.

For the past 21 years, a civil
war in Northern Uganda has been
waging on relentlessly night and
day. This war, fought between
the Ugandan government and
a group of vicious insurgents
who call themselves the Lord Ts
Resistance Army (LRA), plagues
the country. The LRA Ts past has
shown them to be a very hostile
group with instances of rape,
torture, abduction and the use
of children for their own militia.
Being forced out of their homes
and into government-regulated
camps, the people of Northern
Uganda have lost the majority
of their belongings, family mem-
bers and freedoms.

For most students in North-

Art show opens in Greenville

STAFF WRITER

If you are into art or just looking for something
cool to do off campus, 21 Eleven on Charles Blvd.
will be hosting a private show featuring local artist

Mike Lamb on Oct. 26.

Lamb, who holds a BFA in painting from ECU,
is eager to share his new and highly personal art-
work with students and the local community after
taking a break from painting in order to dabble in

graphic design.

oI Tve gotten back into it in the past year, ? said
Lamb. oI felt like I was wasting my talent. ?

Lamb also has also illustrated several CD

covers and flyers for local bands such as Seven

Ton Diesel.

Lamb said he is excited about the show but is a

Weekend on a budget

Have fun without -
breaking the bank

CAT POTTER
STAFF WRITER

Being a college student has
its ups and downs, and most
students will agree that after a
weekend out on the town, their
depleted bank account is a defi-
nite downside.

Many students suffer from
compulsive spending and can
easily spend $50-$100 in one
weekend, yet still go hungry the
next week.

If you often find yourself

wondering where all of your
money goes, you may want to
consider budgeting your earn-
ings and monitoring your spend-
ing habits.

Though it seems difficult to
some, it is entirely possible to
have a fun weekend in Greenville
for a reasonable price.

Sure, it may be tempting to
go to the mall and engage in
hours of shopping fun, eat dinner
at a nice restaurant or, ring up
a ridiculous bar tab; however,

_ there are many other fun, oe

Lamb Ts unique pieces will be shown in Greenville.

oThere are certain themes that are present, but
there is still room for interpretation, ? said Lamb.

alternatives to consider.

One of the main splurges
that many students make is on
food. Going out to dinner for
some means. spending much of
their paycheck.

Senior elementary education
major Robert Smith tackles this
food temptation by finding deli-
cious, yet affordable, meals from
local pizza places.

oPapa John Ts has a large one-

topping, $6 pizza special and
that is awesome, ? said Smith.

Like Smith, many students
turn to local pizza places for a
tasty, money saving meal. Most
pizza places in the area will sell
pizza by the slice for less than
a dollar.

Phat Phillys T restaurant
offers a slice of cheese pizza for
99 cents to students with any
school I.D:, and also includes

other student specials.

If youre not in the mood for
pizza, there are other afford-
able food places tq check out.
Bojangles seems to be a fast food
favorite among many students
and certainly helps the money
saving process.

Fast food is certainly a quick,
cheap way to fill your stomach

Pirates pull off record-setting comeback

Lopsided third quarter
keys ECU victory

RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

For the second consecutive
week, Chris Johnson and Rob
Kass willed the Pirates to a cru-
cial comeback victory.

After falling behind 28-14
late in the first half, ECU (3-
3, 2-1) outscored C-USA East
Division foe UCF 38-10 in a
52-38 win.

oThe start wasn Tt exactly that
way I had scripted it, ? said ECU

coach Skip Holtz. oI thought the

_ players just kept competing and
kept fighting. ?

The momentum turned half-
way through the third quarter

when ECU true freshman defen- |

sive back Travis Simmons, who
was making his first career start,

stepped in front of a pass at the &
q

ECU 11-yard-line and returned

it all the way to the UCF 9-yard- 3

line. Following Simmons T inter-
ception, Kass found Jamar Bryant
for a 6-yard touchdown pass that
tied the game at 31.

The Pirates T stingy defense
caused turnovers in each of
UCF Ts next four possessions. The

Johnson scored four TDs against UCF on his way to earning the C-USA special teams player-of-the-week.

ECU offense turned UCF Ts (3-2,
1-1) five third quarter turnovers
into 28 points.

oI thought the turnovers were

the difference in this game, ? said
Holtz. oThere were a couple big
plays there in the third quarter
and I thought the defense came

out and did a great job creating
some turnovers, and the offense
had some big plays. ?

Johnson was the culprit of

many of ECU Ts big plays, as the
Pirates T running back set a new
ECU single-game record with
372 all-purpose-yards. Johnson
scored two rushing touchdowns,
returned the opening second half
kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown
and recorded a receiving touch-
down of 72 yards.

oWe can put up points, we
can score if we just execute and
cancel out all the penalties, ?
Johnson said.

Johnson Ts 18-yard touchdown
run was the final score of the
third quarter dominated by the
Pirates, and it put ECU up 45-31
heading into the final frame.

oChris is a player and great
players make plays in big games, ?
Holtz said of Johnson. oHe Ts a
senior, he wants to win and he Ts
putting everything out there on
the field. He Ts taken his game
to a whole new level...he Ts an
unbelievable talent and a guy that
we have to find a way to get the
ball in his hands as many ways
as possible. ?

ECU Ts 52 points were the
most scored in the Skip Holtz
era, and most since it scored 54
against Houston in 2002.

ECU women Ts
volleyball team splits
weekend matches

KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER

The ECU women Ts volleyball
team entered the weekend witha
.500 record and left with the same
mark after splitting matches
against UTEP and Tulane.

The Pirates defeated UTEP
comfortably in front of a bois-
terous Minges Coliseum crowd
Friday night, sweeping the
Miners 3-0 before losing to a
tough Tulane team on Sunday, 3-1.

A struggling UTEP team
proved to be no pushover, losing
the first and third games by just
three points, but the Pirates held on
for an important conference win.

After dropping two five-
game decisions to Tulsa and
Southern Miss as well as win-
Le a five-gamer against SMU,
ECU women Ts volleyball head
coach Chris Rushing felt fortu-
nate to get the win.

oWith those five gamers, we
were so close to being 1-3 and
very close to being 4-0, ? said
Rushing. oThese matches can go
either way. Whenever we can get
a win, we'll take it. ?

ECU out-hit UTEP .224-
.094 and posted 18 blocks to the
Miners T four.

Senior Kelley Wernert paced
the Pirates on offense with 17
kills, while standout freshman
setter Katie Koop contributed
37 assists.

Rushing praised sophomore
Peyton Thompson for her play
at the net.

oI was really impressed with
the intensity and the blocking of
Peyton Thompson, ? said Rush-
ing. oI told her right after the
match that she made really nice
blocking moves with key blocks
at key times. ?

UTEP came into the match
winless in conference play but
boasted a history of upsetting
the Pirates. The No. 11 seed
Miners shocked No. 6 ECU in
last year Ts C-USA tournament,
coming from behind to send the
match favorites home on day one.

ECU was determined not to
let history repeat itself.

oIt Ts a huge motivation, ?
said Wernert of last season Ts
defeat. oWe came out last year
determined to win and Just fell
out...it. was a complete attitude
change [this time], just ready to
go, ready to do it. ?

After losing at first place
Marshall on Friday, Tulane came

into Greenville on Sunday look-
ing to preserve their all-time
unbeaten record against ECU.
The Pirates came out firing,
pulling away in a close first game
and winning convincingly, 30-23.
Tulane Ts heavy hitters came
to life in the second game,
exploding for a 30-18 win before
winning the next game, 30-24.
ECU looked poised to force
a fifth game when Koop set up
senior Mignon Dubenion for a
kill to tie the game at 27-27.
Tulane showed why it
received national recognition
by shutting down the Pirates for
three straight points in route to a
decisive game four win, 30-97.
The Green Wave simply over-
powered the Pirates, led by all-
conference player Sara Radosevic.
The 6-foot-1 Croatian native
racked up 28 kills and kept the
Pirates defense on their heels all
afternoon.

oT T'd say she Ts one of the top s

three players in our conference, ?

spots where their girls were hit- §

ting, but they hit so hard it was

hard for us to control the ball. ?

ECU Ts home non-conference
schedule is highlighted by the
annual Keith LeClair Classic

Pittsburgh (March 7), Michigan
(March 8) and Georgia Southern

(March 9). Also scheduled for
weekend series T in Greenville are

Other non-conference
opponents include 2007 NCAA
Regional participants NC State
and VCU, while Campbell, Elon,
Old Dominion, The Citadel and
UNC Wilmington also grace

the schedule.

oIam very excited about
this year Ts schedule and the
caliber of opponents coming to
Greenville, ? said Godwin. oWe
have plenty of local rivals this
year that will give our fans in
the Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina a chance to see
the Pirates play. Our goal at East
Carolina is to play teams that

will give us the best opportunity
to compete in post-season play
and reach Omaha. Both our Con-
ference USA and non-conference
schedule certainly gives us that
opportunity. ?

40-23 and made their eighth

years, return 15 lettermen from

ing to have more and more
confidence, ? said Holtz. oThere
were so many question marks
that needed to be answered [at
the beginning of the season]
and with patience, staying the
course and continuing to do
what we do, the offense is start-
ing to gain confidence.
«All of the, offensive
coaches deserve an awful lot
of credit with the progress of
this offense because where we
were six weeks ago and where
we are today isn Tt even in the
same ballpark. ?

Quarterback Rob Kass,
who was making his first
career start, threw for 201
yards and three touchdowns,
which were both career highs.
The redshirt sophomore, who
has led ECU comebacks the
past two weeks, also scored on
a 6-yard touchdown run in the
fourth quarter.

oI thought he gave us the

RECAP ered from AT

best chance to move the chains
and the best job to get into the
end zone with his arm, ? Holtz
said of Kass. oTonight was more
of Rob Ts game; the running
game, the play-action passing,
and I thought he really did a
nice job.

oRob has been very patient,
Rob has handled the adversity
that he Ts been through very
well, I think he Ts learned
a very valuable lesson and
I think he Ts gained a lot of
respect from his teammates. ?

42,777 people watched
ECU Ts comeback victory, which
is the sixth largest crowd in
school history. Holtz believes
the crowd really had an impact
Saturday night, especially in
the third quarter in which ECU
outscored UCF 28-3. -

oIt was loud and I thought
the crowd really made a differ-
ence in the game, ? said Holtz.
oIn the third quarter, I thought

this team fed off of the crowd, I
thought it was a real boost for
our football team and it was
great to be back home and play
in front of our home family and
friends. ?

With the win, ECU now
sits atop the C-USA East Divi-
sion standing all by itself.
The Pirates own a 2-1 record
inside of the conference, while
three teams, including UCF,
are behind them with records
of 1-1.

oThis team continues to
impress me, ? Holtz said. oThe
effort, the attitude, the desire,
the way they Tre working, and
their never give up attitude.
...They Tve been through a long
road for the last six weeks,
but they continue to compete,
roll up their sleeves and keep
answering challenges. ?
