Troy is 2-1 in the conference and has only allowed 26 points in those three games.

I don’t know about exceeding expectations, I had us going 7-1 headed into South Alabama. I thought we would drop a game to GaSt and pull off the upset. Instead, poor execution and defensive game plan against ODU cost us a win.

You were more optimistic than folks in the media as far as predictions go.

Who did they have us losing to at this point other than Minnesota? I know not ODU or Tx St before the season started. I would say we are one win less than we should be at this point looking at it in August. Hind sight a lost to Tx St would have been more palatable than the lost to ODU.

[Big Buds]

I had us at 5-1 at this point. Not saying we are underperforming but definitely not exceeding my expectations.

Perhaps not exceeding preseason expectations, but exceeding expectations following the loss to ODU.

I would definitely say we are meeting expectations, as we should honestly be 5-1

I guess the article's angle of exceeding expectations has something to do with Wooldridge going down and the offense's production kept going with Chriss stepping up. The ODU loss is a head scratcher, but hopefully will make that up with wins over USA/Troy.

Perhaps not exceeding preseason expectations, but exceeding expectations following the loss to ODU.

ODU isn’t remotely close to as good or talented as we are. Three of ODU’s TDs we were not even in position when they snapped the ball.

That’s on coaching and preparation. We weren’t prepared.

Agree, which is why (after losing to ODU) some thought the wheels were coming off and lowered their expectations on the season.
