Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... It's that time of year again, time for the Possum's annual season prediction. Like, comment or complain.
NC-State- A new era begins, but begins with a loss, Pack by 21 or more
CSU- First home game under CNB, crowd should be decent. Troy wins by 10 or less
Wisconsin- Troy comes out fighting, but runs out of gas in the second half. Wisconsin wins by 28 or more
South Alabama- Rivalry week has the Trojans pumped up, but we fall short, USA by 10
MSU- Bulldogs put a hurting on the Troy boys- MSU by 35 or more
Idaho- Troy finally wins another one... Troy by 17
NMSU- NMSU is just too awful... Troy by 14
App State- Troy coming off 2 wins is pumped up, but loses by 14
ULM- back home against the war hawks, I believe we win this one. Troy by 10
G-Southern- I think these guys will win the conference this year. They beat us by 21 or more
G-State- Worst team in college football scares us again... Troy by 7
ULL- Cajuns might have a down year this year, but I think they still beat us pretty badly... Cajuns by 24
Possum's season prediction 5-7

I think we can win the South Alabama game but all the rest I agree with - 6-6 season is my prediction which is trending in the right direction - Go Trojans!

I think your pretty much on target. Charleston Southern is the one that worries me. A good FCS team after a big game. USA could go either way so their is a possibility for a 4-8 or 6-6 also

Glad I'm not tailgating with you guys... I only see 2 BAD games on our schedule and they're both good teams. Don't see us getting beat by ULL or anyone else by 24 or more. I get these guys need time to adjust to a new way to do it. But from what I've seen they seem like they're going to bring back an "anytime, anywhere" attitude.

Well, as Coach Brown said, "we can prove everybody right or we can prove everybody wrong..."
I hope they prove you all wrong.

Well, as Coach Brown said, "we can prove everybody right or we can prove everybody wrong..." I hope they prove you all wrong. That's why they play the game. Last season everyone was prediction 8-4 and bowl games and laughing about Abeliene Christian, GSU and App St and looked what happened. But then 1992 nobody expected Troy to go 10-1 either. Anything can happen, even 12-0

I don't see us winning more than 6 games this year.
Hope I'm wrong.

I don't think we will lose as big as possum predicts in most games but I think our depth on the front lines will be our downfall If you noticed our recruiting for next year has been DE, DT & OL focus so far - filling our needs

Kind of agree with the Possum and yes either way....up or down....really how do we handle adversity and how do we come out of the gates ......and YES the depth in the lines.....Injuries would be a BIG BIG game changer.....with that said.......
WINS: Charleston Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, New Mexico State...... ......................................If we do not win these this season will be tough....................(73% chance of winning all of these........................................
Possible Wins: USA, ULM (Both at home............58% chance of winning both)
POSSIBLY, MAYBE, COULD IF A GOOD MANY THINGS GO RIGHT WINS: Ranked in order of the possibilities........since some are later in season etc and how are we playing and with injuries not just for us but them....... 1) Georgia Southern-- Home 26% chance of winning 2) Appalachian State-- Away 22% chance of winning 3) Louisiana --- Away 22% chance of winning....could be more if a better than expected year comes along) 4)NC State----- Away 16% chance of winning . LOSSES and unless a little on miracle side occurs Wisconsin Mississippi State
So in synopsis Going 12-0 ....... 0.02% chance Going 11-1 ....... 1.04% chance Going 10-2 ....... 2.01% chance Going 9-3 ........ 3.56% chance Going 8-4 ........ 6.20% chance Going 7-5 ........ 14.1% chance Going 6-6 ........ 23.7% chance Going 5-7 ........ 24.3 % chance Going 4-8 ........ 21.0 % chance Going 3-9 ......... 4.0% chance Going 2-10 ......... 0.06% chance Going 1-11 ......... 0.002% Going 0-12 ......... 0.00000098% chance

I like our chances against USA... Brown will put a lot of emphasis on this game. It's VERY important for instate recruiting.
ULM has had our Number, I'm never counting them as a win till we beat them.
