_ Troy will still be potent on defense. They have solid replacements for the d-linemen they lost, former LSU 4-star recruit Sidell Corley is one of them. I hate to say it but those guys reload quick. _

MT this past season is proof that you don't have to win the conference to go to a bowl game and get major recognition for the win. I'm not too worried about Troy. We need to beat everyone else, get our 7-8 wins and go to a bowl. Winning is cyclical anyway, just ask N. Texas. Our time is coming.

You assume they have solid replacements. Sure, Corley is there but they lost Brandon Lang, Boris Lee, Bear Woods plus their other DE and those are guys who started for 4 years. Their secondary was thought to have guys waiting in the wings last year and they struggled mightily against the pass. While they may have some decent fill ins, I doubt they have a Lee, Woods and Lang in the waiting.

I don't get why people are so certain that Cook would elevate out football team to the next level. High school success does not equate to college success.

They also have to replace the best QB in the Belt in Levi Brown.
