How has practice gone this week?

Bustle: "We came out on Sunday and concentrated on some key special teams situations and then went right into our team period to go over the base looks that Troy will give us. The practice was shorter than normal because I felt like we were beat up a little bit and needed the rest. Tuesday was a good get back to work day and Wednesday was a great fine-tune day. The guys are practicing very attentive."

Is being on the cusp of a seventh win the ultimate motivator?

Bustle: "I think it is (a great motivator) and you add to that the fact that Troy is undefeated (in Sun Belt play). We know that we are going to have to play and execute a great game. Troy has played a lot of games that were over at halftime and we are going to have to fight hard to make it a four quarters game."

Why has Troy been so good in Sun Belt play this season?

Bustle: "Their offense averages 540 yards per game in league play and has outscored (SBC) opponents by an average of more than 18 points per game."

The crowds at Cajun Field have been up and down all season, but you really need the fans now?

Bustle: "The crowds have been up and down, but so has our team. If there ever is a game that we need a home field advantage, it's this Saturday. Our crowd needs to dominate Troy."

What are the keys for the Cajuns this week?

Bustle: "We are fairly healthy and have gained some confidence over the last month in winning at Arkansas State and beating ULM last Saturday. We are going to have to execute well. Offensively, we can not turn the football over. We have to win the time of possession. Defensively, we are going to have to tackle well in open space and hopefully get a few turnovers."
