There was a change...1-4 start...defense was ahead of the offense, but the offense raised its level of play. When that happened, you had a good football team. There's your connection to the potential. And I am saying we have nowhere near the talent on offense now that we had in 2006 Have you watched any games this season or are you going by the win-loss record? So far as talent, we can most certainly debate that because there seems to be a fallacy about the talent this seasons team possesses...

2006 we hit these teams with a no huddle spread attack that hardly anybody ran. Now everybody runs it. May or may not have had the success in 2006 today

A coach that learned from an innovator, talent on offense...execution is the issue at this point. Players have to make plays. People assumed there would be no improvement on the defensive side of the ball because it would be relatively the same defense from last year. There is room for improvement offensively and defensively..

Maybe 3 more. That's probably the max at this point.

I think that will be tough. We should beat GaSt, Idaho, NMSU and ULM but ULL, GaSo and ASU will be tough. We MIGHT win one of those last three and if we do then 6 is possible. IF we do get to 6, as weak as the Belg is this year I doubt a bowl is in our future as it probably shouldn't be. We are not that good YET but maybe next year.

I agree with everything you said except beating ULM. They are a pretty constant thorn in our side. We haven't beaten them since 2009 and this really doesn't look like our year to break that streak.

Not much of a forescaster here, but disagree with the historic fundamentals of losing to ULM: 1) Home Game for Troy, no more "Well that's just a high school stadium they have over there and we always have a tough blah, blah..." 2) The wind is no longer an acceptable excuse in Pike County. 3) It's not "Just a moneygame that no one really expects us to win." 4) The past is no longer a predictor of the future, it's a new day. ----+---- So, will we run it out with all "W"s?? Hellifikno. Nice thought tho'.

They were a thorn in LB's side. Neal, the staff, and players shouldn't be affected by all that.

I'm sticking with 5 maybe 6 - if we get better each game ULL is in play and Georgia Southern at home - maybe with our best game ULM at home - I am callin that a win Idaho, NMSU and GA State should be wins App State - calling that one a loss - going to be tough going to NMSU and then travel to Boone - a tough place to play
Anybody here going to Boone?

Just think ULM is at best a 50/50 because of who THEY are. I just don't have the "we'll definately win" vibe on that one that I do on others. I'll be there expecting a win on game day regardless.

Idaho, NMSU, Georgia State are lesser opponents in my opinion but not to be taken lightly. ULM and ULL are on our level, but very beatable. Six wins is certainly possible. Appalachian State and Georgia Southern are on fire right now and would take several bounces to go our way to come out with a victory.
Re: Mississippi State - 45-17 was a bad night for the Trojans. However, last night's game was 31-17 if you take out the special teams TD and fumble/sack for a TD. To be fair, SEC/P5 teams hardly ever give teams like us a fair shake. Their defense brought their A++ game, something you rarely see vs a lesser opponent. We won't see any d-line near that talented and bloodthirsty like we saw Saturday. Especially not Idaho and NMSU coming up. We've played 3 Top 25 teams, Charleston Southern, and one team on our level. We are talented enough to win six if we stay focused.

I expect 4 more wins: Idaho, Georgia State, NMSU, and ULM. I think App St and GA Southern are most likely losses. LaLa i would have put as a loss before the season, but now I think it is a toss up. So if we win those 4 we "ought to" and can beat LaLa we can get to 6 wins.
If I were a betting man (and I am not) I would still bet on 5 wins total. I think we might beat LaLa, but expect a slip up in one of the "ought to" win games.
If we gel on offense, the defense continues to make strides, we get a few breaks and win the 4 "ought to" games and LaLa, you never know.....maybe we pull off an upset against App St or Ga Southern and get to 7 wins. That would be a great run over the last half of the season. Unlikely, but not impossible. But I am going to be optimistic.
Remember we started 1-4 with a win over DII Bama State in 2006 (with losses to 3 Power 5 teams -FSU, Ga Tech, and Nebraska as well as a loss to in-state rival UAB).....sound familiar to 2015?
Then we won 6 out of last 7 games and went to NO Bowl to destroy Rice 41-17
Maybe this year will be (in the words of the late Yogi Berra), "Deja vu all over again."
