Pirates Run Past Memphis, 56-40
Chris Johnson rushed for a career-high 301
yards and four touchdowns Saturday as East Carolina held onto the top
spot in Conference USA's East Division with a 56-40 victory over
Memphis.
ecupirates.com
Linkmeister Note: It's hard to believe but Chris
Johnson's 301 yards wasn't the best rushing day in Pirates history.
Scott Harley rushed for 351 against N.C. State in 1996.
