East Carolina went into Saturday’s home game against Temple desperate for a response after getting torched 41-34 by Memphis. Instead, they got a gut punch nobody saw coming: a freak referee collision during a break in play that left freshman defensive back David Coleman Jr. needing assistance off the field. This wasn’t some routine play; it was a moment between whistles that completely changed the afternoon for the Pirates, involving Coleman, a key part of their young secondary, and drawing a strong reaction from the head coach. East Carolina was trying to turn their season around, and now they are dealing with the immediate aftermath of a completely unexpected injury to a promising young player. You hate to see it.
