UNC 31, ECU 17 Final

• Dagger. Ryan Houston's second TD run makes it 31-17.

• Good drive by Pirates but they have to settle for a 22-yard FG by Ben Hartman

• Casey Barth misses 38-yarder wide right, still 24-14 Heels.

• Heels content to kill clock and kick field goals.

• Cam Thomas blocks a 47-yard FG attempt by ECU's Ben Hartman. 

• Halfback pass by Shaun Draughn sets up a 28-yard field goal by Casey Barth, 24-14 Heels

• Three-and-out on ECU's first possession on the second half

• UNC's receivers getting in on the act, 24-yarder by Erik Highsmith and 23-yarder by Joshua Adams to set up a 1-yard TD run by Ryan Houston. 21-14 Heels

• ECU with the response: a 35-yard reverse option pass by Dwayne Harris to Joe Womack, plus a 15-yard roughing penalty on UNC linebacker Quan Sturdivant.

Pirates cash it in after strong throw from Pinkney to Alex Taylor, followed by 6-yard TD run by Harris, off the direct snap.

• Three plays later, T.J. Yates to Jheranie Boyd, 59 yards, touchdown. 14-7 UNC

•  ECU took over on the 28-yard line going in but fumbled on second down. UNC ball.

• 18-yard punt, ECU's Jacobi Jenkins got a piece of Grant Shallock's kick from the end zone.

• More punts. 

• Trading punts.

• UNC answers with a six-play, 60-yard touchdown drive. T.J. Yates hits Erik Highsmith in the left corner of the end zone for 16-yard score.

Second unsportsmanlike penalty on the TD celebration.

• ECU strikes first (again). Jamar Bryant 7-yard TD catch from Patrick Pinkney at 7:07 in the first. 7-0, ECU

• A.J. Blue comes in at QB for UNC and promptly fumbles the exchange. ECU recovers at UNC's 33-yard line.

• ECU matches the three-and-out. Punt on fourth-and-1 from UNC's 42. Penalty sets up UNC at its own 31. Not a good trade.

• UNC goes three-and-out on the first possesssion, two running plays and short pass to Greg Little.
