C.J. Wilson blocked the kick, scooped the ball and took off for the goal line. Nothing was going to stop him from securing one final home game at East Carolina.
"The seniors, we said, 'This isn't our Senior Night,'" Wilson said. "Next week is our Senior Night, and we believed until the end."The Pirates claimed home-field advantage for the Conference USA championship game by beating Southern Mississippi 25-20 on Saturday, with the final momentum swing coming on Wilson's return of a blocked extra point for the tiebreaking two points.
East Carolina (8-4, 7-1), the defending league champion, welcomes the West winner, #18 ranked Houston, to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The CUSA title game winner gets a spot in the Liberty Bowl January 2nd.
GO PIRATES!
