Troy fans still aren't sure of how this season might turn out. We racked up 527 total yards on Campbell, and held them to only 50 yards rushing and 93 yards passing... but it's Campbell. There were some rhythmic issues with the offense against Campbell. I'm not sure if the BYE week is going to be helpful because of the extra time to prepare for USM and fix any issues, or if it will be harmful because of the lack of rhythm Troy has gotten to establish with live game action.
The only thing we know for sure is that the D-Line and Linebackers are likely the best in the Sun Belt, and that the DC is still utilizing the same defense we've had for the past few years, which is very good news. Expect Troy to put a lot of pressure on Abraham. Against Campbell, Troy's D had 5 sacks, 8 TFL, and 5 QB hurries.
And yet, at the end of the day, the team resides in Troy.

No yellow pants or shirts today. Maybe...just maybe, we have a chance.

Not to stir the pot, but if you are wondering why the AAC left you behind or you think you will get the next wave in conference realignment this is why you may have been left behind. If you can get a kid from Troy with academic issues to qualify at your school says everything.
Uh...you really don't understand how this whole conference realignment worked do you?
We know exactly why we were left behind and it has nothing to do with a kid who transferred from Troy, walked on at USM, then later earned a scholly. We were left behind because Hattiesburg is a tiny metro market. It's all about potential TV sets, I really can't believe I'm having to explain how conference realignment works...
realignment was a mechanism of control. the status quo was threatened when boise crashed the party of the elites years ago. they were going to make good and ****** sure that there was never a new mouth to feed.
realignment was the solution. the playoff system was a bone they tossed to the unwashed and unlearned to make them think that the system was not obviously rigged.

As good as USM has looked in quite some time (knocks on wood). Offense and defense.

No talk about the actual game? USM looking good atm up 14-0. Only thing not looking good for USM right now is our special teams.

We aren't covering receivers. I thought it might have been just a stupid decision during Mistake because he assumed we couldn't keep up with their receivers. But,.now it looks like we have the Fedora defense plan, always be within 15, but never closer than 5 yards plan. Not sure why our defensive scheme has changed to this.

this could turn out to be a long night.
no pressure on their QB after the first 2 possessions
mysteriously and suddenly can't cover anything downfield
their coach is more versatile

Our offense looks good. Just can't figure out why our defense took such a step back.
