Additionally, Troy has the second-best improvement when it comes to third-down defense. Opponents are converting third downs at a rate of 33.55 percent this season after converting 50.6 percent of its chances last year. Overall, Troy's defense has allowed 67.4 fewer yards this season, a mark that ranks 13th in the country, while improving from 110th to 59th in total defense nationally. ( Full Article)

While no doubt VK deserves extra major miracle worker kudos, these awards are determined by who can sell the most tickets for a Rotary Club Luncheon and who would show up, not turn-around stats. So expect the usual suspects to be announced as the finalist: Clemson, Bammer, Okiehoma, Notre Dame and TCU are my guess this year.

I will be just as happy with a shut out at U LaLa. Whatever happens, I like the progress we have made this year.
