Troy 2:30 Saturday 11/13

[RaginDave]

Gotta break out the screens and QB draws this week. Make them pay for their aggressiveness.

Agree, quick passes, draws, screens and misdirection are the key. The good news is Levi is really good on getting his passes out quickly on designed plays to our WR and RB in the flat, that is going to be where we need to have some big plays.

I don't want to give out all of our my thoughts before the podcast, but we are going to have to run quick plays and play with tempo to keep them from subbing a ton of players.

Troy is also +8 in football's most important statistic: Turnover Margin. They have 14 interceptions on the season.

How they manage to lose?

How they manage to lose?

Lot's of tight games and decision making at the QB position with Taylor Powell at the helm. Their biggest loss was by 13 to ULM, but they have played in a bunch of close games. They are not explosive on offense, but they are much better with Gunnar Watson at the helm. Lindsey seems to like Powell as he has played more than Watson, but Watson is 6 TD's to 0 INT's and Powell is 7 TD's to 6 INT's. They also don't have a dominate running game, Vidal is good, but not great (although he was great in the CCU game). BJ Smith has underwhelmed this year and the loss of Reggie Todd has hurt quite a bit. Tez Johnson is very good at WR, but really outside of him, they are just OK. Their offense is not as good as their Defense.

time for a explosive game I predict 45 - 13

I watched some of Troy and South al yesterday on demand. I think we will win in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

[ManAboutTown]

Neither Powell or Watson will hurt us. They are pedestrian at QB. The running back that gashed South Carolina, Vidal, is the real threat on offense.

My biggest concern for this game is it has the potential to expose our lack of depth (because of injury) on the offensive line. They will be aggressive and play very physical. Slants and screens, and run the football. I like that we had a little extra time to prepare for them, though. This is the perfect opportunity to feature the most underutilized position group on our football team: TE.

They have only given up over 30 points once this year, 35 to coastal. Scoring 45 against their defense would be impressive

[ULGrad@HOU]

This is going to be a tough game for the Cajuns offensively. It's going to be somewhat low scoring and turnovers will possibly determine this game. The scary part, we need to not miss field goals.

And choose to kick them when the opportunity presents itself
