I’ve thought the last two years that Troy had some of the best athletes in the conference but they just needed to put it all together. Looks like you did. Congrats.

We do. And we’ve had top recruiting classes in the SBC for years.

Our problem was coaching 100%…. Chip Lindsey is a terrible coach.

Go Troy! Great season, with only one close SBC loss to App St. Would love to see them claim the title and get a shot at the Cotton Bowl.

I think Troy will walk all over Coastal. UCF (while a good team) does not deserve a top 25 ranking IMHO. Should Troy win the Sun Belt it would be a travesty that they not be ranked.

The line should come out somewhere around Troy -9. If McCall is announced, expect it to move closer to a pick-em. Doubt Chadwell or McCall make that statement publicly, so if the line moves, they are working off back channel information. For what it's worth, I think he's going to play.

Let’s geaux, Troy!!!

Nice pub from one of the larger college football shows.

Good luck Troy! I'll be rooting for you! West is Best!!!

The best outcome for the conference is for McCall to play and Troy to still win.

DraftKings projecting Troy -4.5 for the opening line. Expect this line to move in Troy's favor until (if) McCall announcement.

I really hope he is back for the bowl. Of course he might sit that out.

Line has opened at Troy -7.

Fun to look at, but doesn't mean a lot really. Coastal will come out with their hair on fire Saturday, and if Grayson McCall plays, it's going to be a thriller. Can't wait to tee it up!

If McCall or Carpenter doesn't start, Troy has it in the bag.

The Troy offense is easily stymied by mediocre at best defenses. I actually think our defense, especially if Martial is healthy, can handle McCall well enough to win. The offense... gives me tremendous pause. Especially if they can't score until the 4th quarter. Our first play will be Vidal up the middle. LOL

That said I expect us to win because of course we will. I'm just gonna make sure I have tums and beer to get through this nail biter.

Even if McCall plays, I'm not sure how effective he's going to be as far as scrambling goes.

He had an injury that at best gets him back in 3 weeks, at worst 6 weeks. He's on week 3 as we speak, so I'd imagine that foot/ankle injury won't be fully healed and will still feel a little spicy.

There's no doubt Troy's D is going to make him scramble a lot and work that foot.
