After a long offseason full of changes for sixth-year head coach Mike Houston, the ECU football season is set to open a new campaign this Saturday, Aug. 31, against Norfolk State inside Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The Pirates are coming off a 2-10 season after consecutive bowl appearances, but are optimistic they can turn things around with much of last year's defense back, and a new-look offense.

Hoist The Colours host Stephen Igoe is joined by co-host Sean (AKA NoVaPirate on the Hoist The Colours boards). The two take a deep dive on Jake Garcia being named QB1, what to expect from John David Baker's offense, questions going into the season, the defense as a whole, and what to expect in the opener against Norfolk State.
