Troy Ran the ball to beat a bad....BAD UAB team I believe we are way better than UAB and even though I still expect a close game I think the pass is what we are going to have to worry about because we have been susceptible from it in the past this year

that is also what my main concern is vs. MTSU, Ark St, and Arizona....the three other pass heavy teams on our schedule.

We all knew FAU was a run first team, just like we all know Troy State is a pass first team.

Guess what aspect of FAU's game almost beat us??? THE PASSING GAME!!!!

I'll let you read what I responded with to his 5 keys to beating FAU....I stated this before the game even played and BOP doubted me.

He has come off the same way in the past. I guess it comes with the territory.

I have no idea what BOP has in mind when writing these blogs, but have you ever considered that he is trying to talk about other aspects of their game besides the obvious?

You putting the #1 key as shutting down the passing game is like a fantasy football analysts telling you to start Aaron Rodgers this week. Tell us something besides the given.....

Do you like to argue just for the sake of arguing? I just gave you evidence that I was warning about FAU's passing game as a KNOWN running team.

I'm sorry I like to be realistic when stating keys to stop opponents from winning

Re: From the Bird's Nest: Five keys to beating Troy

If we shut down their run game, we have a better opportunity of controlling the clock and forcing turnovers. Our defenses strength in my opinion isn't the run game (although statistically it is), but its getting after the QB, putting pressure on him, and forcing him into bad decision, this is obvious by the amount of turnovers we've caused and how many sacks we've gotten. I agree with Jay, I think that if we slow the run game and get them passing more, we will cause a few turnovers and we can/will win the game. Remember, they are a good team, but they don't have a Jerrel Jernigan to bail them out this year.

By the way, their pass/run ratio is about 60/40, shut down 40% of the offense and good things will happen.

Nah, I don't like to argue just for the sake of arguing.

I just find it quite humorous that you are critiquing someone elses blog when no one payed attention to yours.

Re: From the Bird's Nest: Five keys to beating Troy

Here is a stop the rush stat for us to consider. . .

Turbo stat:

In Troy's wins 16 of their first downs came via the run.
In Troy's losses 11 of their first downs came via the run.

Their first downs via the pass in wins/losses is a wash, 28/27

Re: From the Bird's Nest: Five keys to beating Troy

What were the yardage for these? and on what downs?
How many were for big gains or short gains?
