That is an unjust stat. Troy opened with Arkansas, Florida, OK St, and then us. You cannot take that rushing stat seriously. If you were the first 3 teams OC, would you have thrown the ball or run against an SBC team to open the season? Troy has a strong defense. Stats aside. I watched that OK St contest, and they play aggressive, smart defense. If anything, I think they slacked off a little on us, after 3 big contests, the last ending in a win. But, do not discredit Troy's defense.
PS Up to last week, LSU was last in the nation in red zone defense. Oh, only one team scored on them, and they were the only one who got in the red zone. Great stat huh?
