FORMATION NOTES: ECU was extremely diverse with their fronts but if they had a base it was the "404 tite" that Seth's detailed on this here site. Like so:

The 404 is a nose tackle over the C (the zero) and two DEs shaded inside the tackles (the fours). When not doing this they cycled through various four-man fronts with a standup "DE", who was an OLB. At all times their safeties were maniacally aggressive:

At no point did any ECU safety line up more than ten yards from the LOS. There was usually one in the box; the guy on the top hash above is a safety, and then the "deep" guy would fire on about 80% of run action.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: QB was McCarthy, then Warren. RB was Corum/Edwards, then Mullings, then Hall, then Stokes. TE was Loveland, Barner, and Bredeson splitting snaps about evenly with Beetham and Klein getting late cameos. WR was a hodgepodge past Wilson and Johnson with Morgan, English, Clemons, Moore, and Morris all getting around 10-20 snaps. Moore was ahead of the chasing pack, although injury to Morris was supposed to be a factor. It is odd that Morris was healthy enough to block a dozen times but not get starters snaps.

OL went Barnhart/Keegan/Nugent/Zinter/Hinton the whole way until backup time, when it was Henderson/El-Hadi/Crippen/Gentry/Jones. Jones got a ~dozen bonus OL snaps.

CHART NOTE: If there's a star in the TE column that means one of the TEs is a bonus OL. Also "U" means unbalanced, which means an eligible receiver is covered up and cannot go downfield.
