Excellent game to watch no matter what side you were pulling for. The two best SBC teams were on the field tonight. Troy made the plays to win the game. Hats off and congrats for a great win. Jonesboro is a tough place to get a win so Troy just wanted it and wasn't going to be denied. The better team won tonight. Hopefully Neal stays around and keeps it going. Could develop into a nice rivalry over time.

Ark State's offense and DL are both top level, definitely the best in the conference. I partly watched the Nebraska game and I was very impressed with Ark St in this game.
Troy only won the game because of superb Red Zone D, Marcus Jones' 2 TDs and we made some key plays (key plays we sometimes don't make). IMO Arkansas St is by far the best and most attractive program (after Troy of course lol) in the SBC. We should somehow form a new conference with Southern Miss, Marshall, Louisiana Tech, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee State, North Texas, etc.

I'm glad we got that monkey off our back last night and finally was able to get a W. Good luck to you guys in the bowl game and let's go 5-0 in bowls as a conference.

Defensive points - 7 Special Team points - 7 Offensive points - 11 (including a 2 pt conversion which forced stAte to go for TD rather than driving for field goal range). Defensive stops inde the Red Zone - 5 (the last number I heard).
The offense was anemic, it wasn't pretty, and it should be better. That said, the above numbers show that ALL 3 squads made key contributions to this win. To deny this was a team win is to deny reality.

We should also look at the stAte defense.
They are ranked in the top 20 and top 10 in a few defensive catigoroes. They have a very good defense and might have been the best defense we faced all year

To be the man you gotta beat the man - Ark. State I tip my hat to you - very nice facilities - the best stadium I have been in the SBC - have not been to App State - fans I socialized with a bit were nice and cordial - we were fortunate to beat the man - very good ball club we beat
