That is a tougher schedule than we played last year!

Yea! It's freaking Troy that scored 31 on Florida, 41 on Okie State and won, 34 on Georgia and gave them fits. Don't fall asleep on this game.

Could do us a favor and go make the next 20 posts in the thread about how you think we"ll not be ready for this game. That way people wont have to waste their time reading your dribble as the game nears.

Didn't we play Troy a few years ago?
I looked at schedules and can't seem to find that game.

I believe this will be our first meeting with Troy, formerly Troy State. The link provides an all time team-byteam record against all opponents and Troy is nowhere to be found. In response to your earlier post, Troy had more tough games last year (top SEC teams and OK), but the rest were teams the Minny could have beat. North Texas?

Good thing we don't play the 2007 Troy team in 2008 then I guess. They have significant graduation losses and I assure you Troy doesn't simply reload.

They'll be competitive and we'll be flat regardless of what happens at USC but it won't be enough. Only drama is if we cover or not.

2008 Preview: Troy Trojans..............

[rocketman]

Everyone's favorite budding MC/firearms enthusiast Josh Jarboe, former Oklahoma top recruit transferred to Troy. Will he have to sit out a year or will we see him on the field Sept. 20th?

ESPN - Former Sooners receiver Jarboe transfers to Troy - College Football

I like this bit at the end:

He had offers from more than 25 schools, including Ohio State and North Carolina.

Holy [censored]! UNC offered! TRESSEL CAN'T CLOSE!!!11

NCAAFootball.com - Trojans must overcome schedule, youth

The Troy Trojans aren't aiming to change everything about a spread offense that has been so productive the past two seasons.
Just the quarterback, the coordinator, the running backs and the receivers. And the results? The Trojans are hoping those won't change too much despite the loss of virtually every key skill player and coordinator Tony Franklin .

I usually cheer for Troy when there playing because I know a guy who is on the team. We went to the same high school, and its not everyday a player from our school goes to a D-1 school, in Kentucky no less.

That being said, I will cheer for a beat down of Troy. Just thought I would share that lil tid bit.

Thank you for sharing...seriously.

A cautionary prediction from Fiutak. Not calling for an upset, but a close game because of a letdown.

cfn

Think Wisconsin vs. UNLV or Western Michigan vs. Iowa (two of the five games in this category last year) ? Five total mismatches that won?t be upsets, but will be closer than expected because the favorite won?t be paying attention. 1) Troy at Ohio State, Sept. 20; 2) Illinois vs. Western Michigan, Nov. 8; 3) East Carolina vs. Virginia Tech, Aug. 30; 4) Louisiana Tech at Kansas, Oct. 1; 5) San Jose State at Nebraska, Sept. 6

I-A to I-A transfers must sit out the first year...if you tranfer from I-A to I-AA, you can play immediately.
