East Carolina has a new head coach in Mike Houston. The offense was terrible in the opener while stepping up at NC State, getting six points and 269 total yards. They have a young QB in sophomore Holton Ahlers, who is a better runner than passer, rushing for 592 yards last season. They face a Navy defense that has a lot to prove as Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo hired almost an entirely new staff of defensive coaches. They dominated Holy Cross in their only game, allowing seven points and 231 total yards while the offense ran for 428 yards. Navy is 18-8 UNDER the total when following a bye week, plus 9-1 UNDER at home after allowing 100 or fewer rushing yards the last game. And coach Niumatalolo is 75-61 UNDER at Navy, including 48-35 UNDER after playing a non-conference game. Play the UNDER.
