MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—Quarterback Patrick Pinkney ran for two touchdowns to help East Carolina beat Memphis 38-19 Tuesday night.

Dominique Lindsay ran for 139 yards for the Pirates (5-3, 4-1 Conference USA), who warmed up for a game against No. 14 Virginia Tech by rolling up nearly 500 yards on one of the country’s worst defenses.

The Tigers, who rank 106th in total defense, fumbled twice to set up early scores for East Carolina.

Will Hudgens completed 33 of 48 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers, who turned the ball over four times.

Pinkney completed 14 of 27 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown, and was picked off once. His only carries were scoring runs of 23 and 3 yards.

    A good win and great set up for a tough team next week. It helps that they will be playing in G'ville next week. I hope the running game can stay a running game against the Hokes. Pickney will need to run the ball again and the O line will have to pound it out and chase down the linebackers with the guards and the tightend. Glad to hear Skip will work on special teams in the week to come. Let's see if the Pirates can stay in their lanes and get the job done. Nice conference win and great out of conference game to come. Go Pirates, beat the hokes at RDF!!!!
