RE: Troy vs Georgia Southern Discussion Thread
Southern fans... I hope the team keeps pointing to our Idaho game
App did.
Y'all know damn good and well we are a different team now than then. Don't act like a team has never turned the corner mid season before

Troy is probably underestimating our defense which is solid unless the offense leaves them out there all game.
We have an athletic defense that makes more adjustments than any in this conference. If anything, you could be underestimating our defense.
Who we are, and who you've played:
SCORING DEFENSE (#1 in the SBC)
RUSH DEFENSE (#2 in the SBC, GS only leads Troy by 0.01)

This.
Fan expectations are always different than what the team is expecting.

RE: Troy vs Georgia Southern Discussion Thread
GS has played the bottom four rushing defenses in the conference (8,9,10,11) as well as the #5 (APP). We're #2 behind you guys and only by 0.01. We could easily be #1. The Citidel is FCS. WVU has one of the worst defenses in the country, and WMU is mediocre at best. Other than APP, who can you honestly say has applied any pressure whatsoever on your offense?

Have you looked at Western Michigan's performance before calling them mediocre?

Yes. Their defense is ranked in the 70's. Not world beaters. If you want to count that fine. I'm not even saying we're going to win. It will take a big time effort to do so. I'm only saying that our defense is quite a bit better than most, if not all of what you've faced this year, especially our run defense. You could still run for 50 points, but I think not having been thoroughly tested could be troublesome. Who knows? Just looking at stats.

Congrats on a much improved defense, wolf. You guys are the most complete package. Hopefully we get to play you next season.

Ok we get it, you are the best 3-6 football team in the free world today and we are the worst 6-2 team that has ever played, see you Saturday.

No way, man. We're just saying "we have a chance" to all the GS fans (especially on GSUFANS.com) that believe they will crush us. I get it, anytime you defend your team people think you're chest beating. You guys and APP fans should know that better than anyone.

You do have a chance, heck we believe every time we tee it up we have a chance and you should too especially at your place. We have some in our fan base that don't do well with two plus weeks off with no football, we have some passionate personalities.

We all do... We have people on our board now who think we will crush you.
I think it should be a good game. You will see a Troy team that is hungry and will give their all for the entire 60 mins...

This is a big rebuilding year for us. We will take it one game at a time. I think more pressure is on GS tho.
