Troy AD Making Waves: NC State, Troy Sign Home & Home
Between 2013 and 2017 (per the tweet I just read), Troy has signed to play home and homes with Duke, Boise State, and N.C. State. Troy completed a home and home with Miss State last season.
Troy will open the 2015 season at N.C. State and travel to N.C. State in 2017.
I'd link the tweet, but my work computer is not that savy.

RE: Troy AD Making Waves: NC State, Troy Sign Home & Home
That is good. Troy can take those guys. NC State is pretty easy though. They actually signed a home and home with ODU last year
that starts next year. Georgia Southern plays them in Raleigh this year. One of the three teams will
surely beat NC State and wouldn't be shocked at all three doing it. They have not won a conference championship since 1979 and have been trending
down, winning only three games last year. Excellent football timing.

This is stark contrast to what usually happens. LSU and Florida were played the year after they won the NCG. Duke was played last year with the best season Duke has ever had. Clemson was played when they unveiled Sammy Watkins and Tajh Boyd. We played Arkansas twice, once when they had Darren McFadden just before the draft, won the SEC West, and once when they had Ryan Mallet. Miss State and Ole (recent games) were played when they were not great, but certainly have been trending upward.
This is a good time to get Boise and NC State for sure. Duke at home doesn't hurt, but they bring back a lot from their ACC Championship Game squad.

That's very strong, and you have a shot at wins against all three.

We do well against the big programs at home... Beating Ok State and a Ranked Missouri at home... And losing by 5 points at home to Mississippi State 2 years ago

So that means NC State isn't going to visit Troy. Hmm.

Home and HOMES. I assume that means 2 away, 1 at home?

That is great.
South Alabama has a home game with NC State in 2015 . We scheduled a 2 for 1. We went there in 2011 and 2012.

Yea, NC State apparently has some money issues. So they've been agreeing to travel to places that many of their peers don't, such as USA, Troy, ODU etc.
It is true that USA was a 2 for 1, but one of our games was when we were FCS.
