East Carolina Strong Again, Topples Eighth-Ranked West Virginia

POSTED: 7:42 pm EDT September 6, 2008

(Sports Network) - Pat Pinkney completed 22-of-28 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown, as East Carolina knocked off another ranked opponent with a 24-3 domination of eighth-ranked West Virginia.

East Carolina (2-0) knocked off then-No. 17 Virginia Tech, 27-22, last Saturday, and won again behind a strong showing on both sides of the football. Jon Williams ran for 69 yards and two scores on 17 carries for the Pirates, while Dwayne Harris caught eight passes for 68 yards.

Pat White was limited to 72 yards on 11-of-18 passing for the Mountaineers (1-1), as head coach Bill Stewart was dealt his first loss. He took over for Rich Rodriguez prior to the Fiesta Bowl last season and led the Mountaineers to a 20-point triumph over Oklahoma, and West Virginia opened its season last week by throttling Villanova.

White also ran for 97 yards on 20 attempts, and Noel Devine added 94 yards on the ground on 12 rushes for WVU.
