The Cougars had good performances from the offense and defense on Saturday in their 52-17 victory over the East Carolina at TDECU Stadium.

Despite cycling through three quarterbacks in nine games, the Cougars still find themselves with a winning record and are now bowl-eligible for the first year under new head coach Major Applewhite.

The Pirates were expected to lose, but the Cougars came in and showed that they could still make a splash in the American Athletic Conference despite their three losses. Here are some of our best pictures from the game.
