I watched Clemson and Auburn play. I don't think Clemson is the #2 team in the country. I feel better about our chances.

Chances for what? A Trojan win? Come out with no injured Trojans?
"Clemson might not have looked all that impressive in its first game. The Tigers certainly didn't put on the same type of display as No. 1 Alabama, their opponent from last year's title game and the team they're chasing in the polls this year.
None of that matters, though. The No. 2 team in the country survived. And more importantly, Watson can lick his chops knowing he has a healthy Williams to throw to the rest of the season. Williams' return makes the Tigers' offense that much more dangerous, and with the way the defense played in the first game, this is still a legitimate playoff contender.
And as with Georgia's Nick Chubb earlier in the day, just seeing Williams back on the field after his injury was a nice development.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney echoed the sentiment.
"Man, it’s good to see him out there after a year of not playing a game," Swinney said. "That was big for him."
Added Watson: "It's still early in the season, and he’s going to continue to get better."
They have a lot to prove, I feel worse about our chances.

Florida pass medical marijuana legality ? NOT in Marion County, Fla !!! Here in Marion County we pass on grass. Our water though, rumored to be the finest in the country, makes for the best kool aid. I will bring several gallons to the next game I attend. Let's stay positive,remember when we used to have swagger and say " anyone, any where ". Let's Go Troy!!!

I do think if Silvers starts to struggle, Smith looks like he can play now. It is a good feeling knowing we have two that can both throw and run.

You've got to get Smith some reps, just in case something happens to Silvers for a half or a game. The next two games are tough. I'm more concerned with the team staying healthy than I am the scoreboard. We will learn a good bit about our team in the next two weeks.

QB position is in a good place right now, but coach said there was upwards of 25 or better players that made FB$ debuts last Saturday. A lot of talent with one game under their collective belt. I like to see an Autonomous5 beatdown just as much as the next, but getting these guys reps and experience will go a long way towards the Troy team we all want to see fielded. Praying for no injuries and a victory, if it be the Lord's will.

Saturday's game is what It is....TROY playing the #2 team in the country. I would love to see us upset Clemson, in fact, I'm pulling for that. What I want to see more, however, has already been written. We need guys to get experience and to stay healthy. However, I think we need to aporoach Sou Miss with the attitude that we can, should, and need to beat them. A win against them, we head into conference play 2–1 with the confidence needed for a strong run.

I agree with everything folks have said ... let's compete, learn, stay healthy, etc. But, go to WIN. Just saw a snip of USA postgame after they beat MSU. To paraphrase one player: "The public has been programed to believe they're supposed to beat us just because they have 3 letters on their jersey (insert ACC for SEC!). Well, they still have to go on that field and beat me ... and beat my teammates!!!" Love that attitude!! NO pressure on us ... all on them!! Play loose ... have fun ... "roll the dice"!! Make them beat you!! If you lose ... well, it was what everyone "predicted" ... but, if something else happens ... man, what a story to tell!! Want to get back to the "anyone, anytime, anywhere" attitude!!! Yes, Clemson is more talented than us "and MSU" ... but most "Talented" team doesn't always win!! Fire up!! Go Trojans!!

Not for 1 second will I believe that NB and his team don't expect to win. He knows what it takes and he knows what it means. As a fan, I relish these games. I really believe it made Troy a better, stronger team when they played a Florida and an Arkansas to start a season. But, your bread is buttered in conference. Lastly, there's nothing wrong with a feel-good story and a stroll through your conference to make a bowl game. We're headed back into time...to the mid-to-late 2000s...let's enjoy the trip.

Given our youth, this is one time I'll settle for a "moral victory" with no injuries and if all the stars SHOULD line up right and a miracle were to occur.....I'd take it! Just make us proud through effort and discipline both in execution and actions! Go Trojans!

Well at least our QB play will be better than what Burn put out there Saturday night. Silvers, Smith and the other kid looked good. Silvers looks very comfortable. Our DB's looked a little sketchy. I am always rooting for a win and hope the USA win ignites a spark, but it is what it is. At least I have to think NB is going up there wanting to try and get a win, LB's last few years it always looked like they went into these out of conference games thinking they could do anything but get the money and go home.

I'd love a win as much as the next guy but realistically I'm hoping we go into Death Valley play a good game and are able to leave with our heads held up high.

If Neal Brown can come up with some good play calls and good time management, we can at least keep up with Clemson for a couple of quarters IMO. You never know what can happen. Troy might play out of their minds while Clemson is sleep walking.
