Thoughts here? Larry rose will be back in play from what I hear. Troy is currently a 21 point favorite but I get a feeling its going to be much closer than that but who knows. Last year Troy won 52-7

Oops! Sorry, I was having a dream.
Should be a closer game than last year but I don't see us beating the Trojans. I think your defense is better than what we have faced so far. But we still cover.
NMSU 24
Troy 42

No offense to NMSU, but I believe USM is a better quality team. Size is only a small factor. They actually beat Kentucky and have a respectable record from last season which they brought a lot of those players back.

No offense to USM, but I believe they played Kentucky when Kentucky could afford to lose. Week 3 came in and they gave us their all. Kentucky was actually leading agaisnt USM for most of that game but that's just my opinion. Not saying we are better but I do believe we have a very capable offense. Defense is slowly getting their act together hopefully.

I think Troy will be the toughest defense you have faced this year.

I agree! Troy defense has been stout thus far. It will be very interesting to see how NMSU with LR3 goes up agaisnt that mighty Troy D. All I ask for is a good game and great showing from NMSU.

I feel like y'all are misinterpreting my words. I didn't mean they literally wanted to lose that game agaisnt USM. However, USM caught Kentucky off guard. I'm not insuating NMSU is better but I believe Kentucky was not going to let another "payday game" turn into a loss. Therefore their program and coach could not afford to lose to NMSU. Although, we did put up a good fight offensively we have a lot of work to do on defense. I'm hoping NMSU gives Troy all that we got. Just to see where our football program stands in the Sun Belt this year.
