I think we are going to win this game convincingly. I think we go into the half with a TD lead and then win by 14.

I don't want to think it but I feel this is a pivotal game for the season. If we win, we gain a ton of confidence and finish the season strong. Maybe end 8-4 and play in Montgomery. If we lose, we take a step back and fight to get bowl eligible. I hope for the win. Trojans 37- Georgia State 31.

DT has a feeling that the 2nd half of the South game was a step in the right direction and we dont go back in time by dropping one to GaSt.

DT has a feeling that the 2nd half of the South game was a step in the right direction and we dont go back in time by dropping one to GaSt. I'm not counting on anything until I see it. Here's how our three wins, who have a combined 0 FBS wins, rank offensively in the 900 or so college football teams: There are 130 FBS teams and 126 FCS teams, for a total of 256 teams between the two. 403 Akron 339 Campbell 241 South Alabama --- --- --- 225 Texas State 124 Coastal Carolina 120 Georgia Southern --- --- --- 91 Southern Miss 65 Arkansas State 49 Louisiana 48 Georgia State 40 Missouri 20 Appalachian State www.masseyratings.com/team.php?t=8068&s=308075All three of our wins where we held them to respectable numbers came against offenses that rank with Division II teams statically. There are 10 Division III teams with better offenses than Akron: Wheaton, Mount Union, Hardin-Baylor, North Central Illinois, St. John's, Middlebury, Muhlenberg, Williams College, Whitewater, and Trinity College. I've only heard of Mount Union. I feel for our players. I know they and the staff are trying hard, but these numbers are not encouraging. South Alabama is a bottom tier FCS offense. They are not a measuring stick. We have 16 players committed for the upcoming recruiting season, and 12 of them are offensive players. Of the four that are defensive players, they are ranked at the bottom of our upcoming class. We need immediate help, and if we can't get that, we at least need quality and quantity for the future. We don't have that at the moment, but I suppose things could change between now and February. I love Troy and I'll always go to games and watch the stream when I can't, but I feel like this weekend is put up or shut. If we don't win this game it could have domino effects that will make a bad situation worse. The transfer portal reopens for business soon, and you'd be a fool to think some guys won't leave. This needs to be the moment, but if we lose I'll still be hopeful, just maybe less so.

Furman hung 42 on them..... Their defense has gotten better every game since then. We will need to play our best game to win.

Georgia State is going to do a lot of run-pass option, and utilize their TE's a lot in some stealthy formations.
The defensive backfield is going to have to play well, stay focused, and stay aware. Or else Georgia State could (The HC we don’t speak of) away at us through the air pretty easily.
