Bonesville Rewind: Some of Pirates’ biggest moments, 2010-2019 by Al Myatt 

The bowl win

East Carolina went to bowl games in four of the first five seasons of the decade. Only one of those postseason excursions produced a win. That was the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, FL, at Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, on Dec. 23, 2013, when ECU topped Ohio, 37-20.

Vintavious Cooper ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Shane Carden completed 29 of 45 passes for 273 yards and one TD without a pick. Carden also caught a 14-yard scoring toss from Cam Worthy.
