East Carolina’s Mike Houston talks about the matchup with Charlotte

East Carolina Head Coach Mike Houston spoke to the media this week about the challenge of playing Charlotte on Saturday.

Opening Statement

“Another challenging game on the road this weekend against a much-improved Charlotte football team who got their own big win down at Rice this weekend after they trailed the majority of the game. They were able to come back and win that game to go 1-0 in the league as well, so that creates a big matchup this weekend down in Charlotte."

On the Redemption Mentality Against Charlotte

Mike: The focus this week is going 1-0. It's a league game, an opportunity for us to get another league win, so that's got to be our focus. Our focus has got to be on us so we can play better this week than we did last week, and I think we've got to have the right mindset going down there on the road. It's hard to win on the road. It's going to be packed. There are going to be a lot of ECU fans there so it's going to be a great atmosphere to play in. I think we've just got to have a great week of practice and have a great mindset going down there.
