Can’t even blame the players much (other than penalties). HC lost this game...
Questionable play calling, and rotating Smith and Watson was a huge mistake...looks like HC/OC underestimated our opponent.
CNB will be here for a long time...

As soon as this game was scheduled it was a set up for disaster. This is what happens when you don’t make logical decisions.

I hope Neal Brown is at Troy for 20 years. He will average about 8 wins a year and we will be in a bowl the majority of those years. One bad loss Look for us to recover, beat S Alabama and win 8-9 games this year

Seems like our guys bought into the early hype of getting bowl eligible early and giving Appy a real fight later this year. Hope we learned a lesson about believing that hype.

We will win at least 7 and get to a Bowl game anyway We scored a TD and three FG's, threw for 160 yds and rushed for 130 on a defense giving up 44 points and almost 500 yards a game. Which team do we have left with a worse defense? Maybe GA Southern's DC gets mono and Rowell gets promoted, that's about the only way.

We are still 5-2 with a 2 bad games. The Nebraska win has lost its luster as the Cornhuskers are atrocious though.

The Nebraska win has lost its luster as the Cornhuskers are atrocious though. Both losses we were behind and couldn't come back, both teams shut our run game down and we can't win throwing the ball. FAMU couldn't beat Hoover, Nebraska is 0-6, the rest we got out to leads and tried to sit on them and almost lost two of them. We have a tough road still. ULL put 66 on NMSU today, South...last year proved anything can happen, TX St is bad, and Ga Southern and App St are very good teams with tradition. We will see how this team responds but I don't have a good feeling about it.

South anything can happen. ULL is 3-3 with losses to Miss St and Alabama and have scored 42 and 66 last two games. TX St. Is awful and GA Southern and App St are both good teams. Nothing easy except TX St but if we play like today even that could be bad

Even with today’s showing, we’d still at least beat Texas State. Today was just a strange day. Playing at a place we don’t need to be playing at. Things will get better.

Need to regroup...i think every player is good at something so they need to really find out what's best for smith...he is not barker, but i don't think you change what your doing offensively. I think that's what happened today. I'm not against the run...i think bj smith is a great rb and has definetly found rhythm in these last couple of games so i do believe he will get his yards by the end of the night. We have to many offensive weapons not to move the ball. I personally thought smith did a good job he did have some over throws that would have been good for us. But to me once again you can tell the offensive scheme wasn't the same as other games. Don't see why they changed it but who knows. You have to get the ball to your weapons..its no different when jernigan played he was our star receiver and we made sure he had the ball in his hands to make plays. We have alot of guys that can really play some ball. Hopefully the coaches and players learn from film and make the necessary adjustments. We still can finish strong. Go Troy!

Is it over? Have we completely melted? I go out to dinner with the family and come back to silence. Surely we have some more anger left right? I bet the boys over at south gump are thinking they are going to get to keep the belt another year. The belt belongs in Troy.

I bet the boys over at south gump are thinking they are going to get to keep the belt another year. The belt belongs in Troy. I'm okay with South thinking this will be an easy game. Players who believe an opponent will be a pushover generally come out unprepared regardless of what their coaches tell them. We also traditionally play better as the underdog, so I'm okay if they're favored. We had a bad game. Sawyer has the ability but needs to shake out whatever nerves he has about being "the one" and the defense needs to wake up from the nap they took. We'll be fine long run if the QB can settle in and get the throwing game to a point coach is comfortable with. I still stick to my preseason win guesses with W's on TX State and LaLa, and 50/50 odds at GASO and App (giving them a slight edge because of home advantage).

I hope Neal Brown is at Troy for 20 years. He will average about 8 wins a year and we will be in a bowl the majority of those years. One bad loss Look for us to recover, beat S Alabama and win 8-9 games this year We had that kind of thinking before. It’s what we’re trying to rise above.
