Give credit to SFA, they came ready to play and were well coached. I'd have preferred a complete blow out. We have to fix the turnover issue. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results. If we can fix the turnovers, and continue to improve, this year could be better than last year. Great night to be a Trojan!

Got lots to clean up but that’s why you play FCS opponents to start the year.

Praying we have depth on offense, if #28 goes down, we’ll find out. What a beast of a performance by Kimani!

Highs and lows but got the W and that's what matters. Taking our 12 game win streak to Manhattan, KS next week at 11:00AM and I think we will give K-State all they can handle. Go Trojans.

The students are here! They didn't stay, though. I was very disappointed to see the number of empty seats in the student section after the half.

What conference supplied the Refs for this game? The announcers said Sun Belt. That explains everything.

For a holiday weekend I thought the students showed up well. It was a nice tribute to Demarcus Ware also it looks like he could still play. Great to see the running game picked back up from late last year. Too many turnovers but an ugly win is better than a pretty loss.

My biggest take away is we clean the turnovers up we win 66-3. Defense anchored down and flipped a switch when they cut the lead 20-24. Offensive line needs to get better at pass protection. I noticed several times Gunnar making plays with his legs to pick up 2-3 yards rather than taking 10 yard loss sacks. Despite the score I’m overall pleased with what I seen. Few little issues to clean up and this team has a solid chance next week.

We don't seem to have much depth which is concerning

This is slightly off topic but I think a Sound of the South Member was accidentally hit by a player. I know after the team ran from the field to the sideline I saw a young woman in pain walking with a limp and another young lady by her side helping to carry her off. I didn't see what exactly happened but I hope she's okay.

One stat I am surprised by is that TMTDM did not get any sacks. TMTDM thrives on sacking the qb. SFA had 31 pass attempts and no sacks. We are in bizaro world where the O is our better unit. Kudos to OC Craddock for fielding the better unit.

IF SO, we have so many players (100+) that can be on the sideline for a HOME game that SOTS “collapsed” the run through and started running to the stands BEFORE all the players had made it through the area.

Yes. I am talking about pre game. All I know was people were scrambling to get off and on the field when I noticed the person limping. I'm not trying assess blame on anyone. I'm just saying I hope the woman is okay.

A win is a win. A Troy win I will always celebrate. Beat a team from a lower division, as we should. A lot to work on. Can this OC and QB get us to the promised land ? We’ll see. Hope so but doubts abound.
Got to show up in Manhattan this week and ball out. It will be very disappointing if we don’t show out. Let’s go.

It's also pretty common for the same five dudes to play all game, you don't sub across the offensive line.
