Two tough games coming up. Gotta go to GATA and then we host a possible top 15 team in Coastal. Should be a fun ride. I think we have a decent chance of beating GASO. Coastal is going to beat us up and steal our lunch money. Are we playing USA? I had thought the 12th, but I can't actually find it after thinking I saw it. But we could beat the snot out of them, too. Ha! Good win tonight. They're working hard, and the guys deserve some enjoyment from the game. Defense looks improved over last year, so props to Hall for showing growth in his role. I think Lagassey hit all of his attempts? If yes, good improvement on his part. We can argue all we want about if he should have been put in that role to begin with, but he was and he's there, obviously working to improve his performance. GaSO struggled with USA for 3 quarters before pulling away Thursday night. We stop Werts, Kennedy & King on the rush and we stomp the dooky out of the Eagles at their homecoming. After convincing stAte win, I feel better about our chances with Coastal coming to the Vet. Could be good, very good. WE will have to play our BEST, mistake-free ball. Trojans looking better, D stepping up and Free getting comfortable in the O. 3rd/4th down convert % up, O penalties very low, kick game improving and several players on D sharing the load. Needle moving to the P (positive) side of corholeometer.

Needle moving to the P (positive) side of corholeometer. The only problem is we don't know from week to week which team shows up. Maybe we have turned the corner and maybe Free is the right qb for us..ie Levi stepping in in 2008 as the "third" string qb. Consistency is what this team needs so let's see next game if we can put back to back great games

We did what Kansas State couldn’t do......
Very good conference win against a good conference foe ( kiss their rings) ........Not uncommon for teams to have head scratcher loss,let’s hope GAST was ours.
I personally think we match up well against Coastal
Great to see our secondary speak with their play instead of antics

I personally think we match up well against Coastal Great to see our secondary speak with their play instead of antics Here's the thing... I believe on any other day, Troy beats Georgia State. They had the #6 offense in the nation, and we kept them to just 379 total yards, and held them to 41% on 3rd Down Conversions. That's very good. We lost that game in the red zone. We fumbled on the GSU 17 yard line, missed a field goal at the GSU 12 yard line, and threw an interception in the endzone. Troy kept GSU in the game with the mistakes. If even just one of those mistakes doesn't occur, we likely win that game.

We match up well against their option offense. I also like our chances against Coastal. They're a phenomenal team, but I've been believing this whole season that we have a good team with a lot of speed. If we stop their QB, we have a great chance.

The #2 QB has Little experience with the #1 O, etc, etc. Such was the same with the Panther game.

Congrats to (The HC we don’t speak of), staff and the players... I'll have my crow deep fried with Crowe's sauce, please.
Keep it up and make me eat crow again.

Still not sold on this staff. Players are playing for them though. Talent is there imo. I think we look talented and are deep on the DL, Running Back and I think QB too. I think McNeil could probably come in and play at a high level.
I am not sure we are good enough from a coaching standpoint to play with App, Coastal and Lafayette. But I hope we with them all.

People do realize Mcneil isn't even third on the depth chart? he's sitting 4th behind Kyle Toole?

We have had 1 1/2 work out of the last 7 we have signed and the last great one was 2006-07

He was light years ahead of his 2018 passing abilities. And that's not because of Neal Brown either. Neal Brown left before Barker recovered and was able to start working on his form. (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) helped do that, and Barker had even said so himself. I've gotta give it to (The HC we don’t speak of), he knows how to develop QB's somehow.

I grew up in South Georgia and he beat my old high school in the state championship game and playoff game the very next year.

We have a lot of QB talent that we need to utilize.
