I agree with our defense being stout. I think we win this and honestly I think it will be much like LSU last season where we protect the win in the 4th. I think that we will try to keep the game in the 20s point wise but we take their pass game away and their running game does not have the stamina in the environment.

It took until LSU to gel last year. We were sloppy at Boise. If we gel by the 2nd half all will be fine but the D has to make some folks sore early and often to still be in it.

We have the potential to be great again this year. I am worried about the loss of Bridges, Lucky, Perkins, and Robinson, though. Most of those were self inflicted which is what bothers me.

for us - need a fast start - if we get more than 2 scores (10 - 14 points) not sure we can come back - now that is totally based on perception and not reality - I expect us to cover 10.5 points - I hope we can win it late in a nail biter - good times at the vet this weekend no doubt
HAVOC!

BSU 31 Troy 14. I base this on 10 starters coming back on defense. 8 starters back on offense. Special teams everyone is back. Including Avery Williams, you do remember him don't you? He housed a punt return for 81 against you last year. Unless we commit some awful turnovers which is possible, I just don't see it how you win. Good luck and have a good game. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I'm letting my opinion out, now if you do win I'll be the first to congratulate you.

My only request... if we are fortunate enough to win this game, I don’t want to hear that it’s a fluke. Based on what I’ve seen so far from the Bronco fans, I don’t think that will be an issue, but it sure has been from LSU fans.

Not trying to be sarcastic or anything, would you be willing to give me Troy +17? Boise St. MAY win this game, but I do not believe that they are anywhere near 17 points better. I would also take the "over 14" for Troy scoring, if you interested in a friendly wager, PM me!

Troy is starting a new QB and RB on offense. Silvers only got 139yds passing against us last year. And he was your best QB. Imagine what the same defense is going to do against a newbie. I respect you guys for the beatdown of LSU. But unless we commit 3 turnovers or more I just don't see it. Would 24-14 satisfy you? Lol

Somewhere between 0 - 100 for both teams and the winner will have the larger number. Is there any chance Vegas will let me put a bet out there like that and win money?

Boise's defense did a good enough job against our offense and made plays when it mattered, but most of the issues we had in that game were self-inflicted. We either didn't try to run the ball, or we couldn't run the ball because of the 8,429 (give or take a few) false start penalties putting us behind the chains. Unless we have some hidden fatal flaw that we haven't figured out yet (like not being able to cover a punt), we should be fine as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

IIRC there was a fair catch type movement that caused our coverage to slow down on that return.So I’ll make a prediction based on that not happening and not fumbling out of bounds and having ball taken away.So 24-13 last year,take 1 td away from BSU,ad 1 to Troy,makes it 20-17 Troy!HAVOK!!!!

Rypien was pulled for a senior transfer who made the difference. Silvers, as good as he is, should have been pulled as well for Barker, our starting QB this year. You'd have had your first "L" last year. With or without turnovers, you still get your first "L" of 2018 this Saturday. Enjoy. .
