were 25 point favorites over FBS schools the same week?

And what was the combined halftime score for these two schools on Saturday?

24-87?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong because I'm on my phone but it looks like Troy is favored by 9 over UL...?

Troy is favored by 2

Im telling you, this is going to be a good game.

I'm serious when I say this, if we play like we did against Lamar we will not win. Our offensive execution was not good, too many missed opportunities. Defensively we dominated, but they only had one player on the field that could compete athletically with our guys and that was Hershel Sims.

We will have to play much much better.

Im surprised Troy is favored in the game.

At the same time. im sure your starters were not in the game most of the game.

Starters didn't play in the 2nd half, and we quit running the offense. With that being said, we played really sloppy on offense in the first half.

The front 7 dominated Lamar's O-line, something that I haven't seen since the 80's. But I don't expect that kind of performance against a similar team like Troy.

Having attended the last two games against the Trojans, I do give the talent edge to the Cajuns by a slight margin, but it is not large enough to overcome a home field advantage.

Offense, I give slight edge to Troy after week 1 due to a 200+ yrd rushing performance.

Defense, no question goes to the Cajuns, I am sorry but giving up 500 yards to UAB shows me nothing to think that y'all D is vastly improved.

Special Teams, Cajuns again, Brett Baer is the biggest Special Teams weapon in the Sunbelt. Not to mention that we have a tremendous return game with Surgent, Lawson and Peoples.

IMO in order for Troy to win they must be +3 in the turn over margin.

160 Yards were given up to UAB in the final 5mins of play when Troy was up by 16...So the 500 yards is a little high when you look at the game as a whole....Our Defense is FOR SURE better than last year NO DOUBT. And it wasnt quite 500 yards total either
