Sixth-year East Carolina Head Football Coach Mike Houston addressed members of the media Monday afternoon prior to Saturday’s American Athletic Conference contest at No. 23 Army. The following are selected comments:
Opening Statement
“Before we start talking about Army, tough news coming out of Chapel Hill this weekend with the passing of Tylee Craft. We have a couple of kids that played with him, and they’ve had a tough deal. Our thoughts and prayers are with Coach Brown, the Craft family and the UNC family. It’s something that as a coach, you never want to go through.
“It’s game week. Should be a good week of practice this week, the kids are really excited about the match up. Getting a chance to play a ranked opponent on the road is a challenge, but it’s something that the players are excited about, excited to get back out on the field. Having the opportunity with the bye to be able to sit and just watch a game, watched the UAB and Army 12 o’clock kickoff on Saturday, not just looking at that game but at all their games, they are a very solid football team top to bottom, all 3 phases. Offensively everything revolves around the veteran quarterback. He’s done a great job, but he has really strong players around him. They’re 6-0 for a reason, they’ve played really good football so far this year, so it’s a great opportunity going into Saturday’s matchup.”
