For those of you planning to attend the game Saturday, do you plan to sit in your regular seats or watch from somewhere else - like the south end zone plaza - for example. This would be a good day for us to get together and meet each other while breaking down all we see on the field and deciding how to fix it🤷‍♂️.
Thoughts?

Take up a collection and get the Athletic Dept a calendar so those of us from out of state can attend next year and not worry about Easter the next day. I can't attend because of Easter the next morning and our church plus my Grand Son's first Easter

Bubba we will probably sit in the shade under the upper deck (even number sections 102-114). When you decide where you are going to sit on Saturday, post it and we will stop by and visit !

T-Day is ALWAYS on a Saturday and when the sun comes up the next day, it will be Sunday. April 20th date is no different from any other Saturday HOME game. We CHOOSE to attend home games and travel back home that evening for Sunday responsibilities. We look forward to seeing the Trojan Family members who can be there on Saturday and will miss the ones who cannot be due to distance and responsibilities!

If you cant make the practice game (Not Real) due to it being Easter weekend then that sucks but that's life. But to bring religion to a football forum is just plain silly.

We should pray that God is on the field Saturday to keep the Troy players safe and healthy. Saint.

We have finalized plans and will be in Troy tomorrow. Our seats are exactly where you indicated you will be sitting. We will be in our regular seats, which are under the upper deck - Sec 108, Row 15, Seats 12&13. If you can drop by, do so. It's always good to meet fellow TROJANS.

Mainly defense in the 1st half. 7-7.

Defense was indeed dominant in the first half. I think we are going to be fine at LB, those guys played well and swarmed to the ball. The secondary wasn't challenged much deep, so it's hard to say how they are doing.
From an offensive standpoint, the play calling was very limited in nature but one thing that was obvious was the pace. After each first down, the team rushed to the line and the ball was snapped as soon as the official stepped from over it. Multiple times the ball was snapped before the defense, especially the guys on the edge, was set. Caleb wasn't dressed and didn't play. The offense struggled in the first half but seemed to find a rhythm in the second. Sawyer looked good and I was very impressed with Gunnar Watson. He is mobile and he has a cannon for an arm. When he throws a 15 yd crossing route, it's with authority and he has the ability to thread a needle with it. Gaven Screws also looked good. He led a scoring drive late in the first half that was capped off with a 30+ yd run by Charles Strong. I can tell you guys, you're going to like him. At 6'1" and 215, he looks unlike anything I've seen in a Sunbelt backfield. Elusive, fast, and big, he can be a major contributor.
There was no live special teams play. The punters took a snap and punted to one receiver and those were the only 3 guys on the field. Place kicks were made using a snapper, holder, and, kicker. Sumpter boomed a couple of deep punts and Legassey hit a good one. He appears to have a really strong leg and I can see him replacing the departed Bratcher Underwood as KO specialist. In his only attempt at a PAT however, he, on cue, clanked it off the upright....unchallenged.
Bottom line, there are some kinks to work out. The offense will have a little different look and I think will be a little more fast paced. That doesn't mean 120 plays a game, but I saw nothing that would indicate we would be standing at the line for 42 of 45 between play seconds before running a play. Defense is ahead of the offense, as would be expected in a spring game, we know special team kicking is in good hands, and we didn't see any return attempts. I think we can all take a deep breath, we're going to be OK.

Thanks Bubba for the report. I know we have pretty high hopes and to hear that there really are no glaring areas is reassuring. Now off to the doldrums. It is a long time till the preseason magazines come out.

ESPN+ requires a schoool program (not the conference) to furnish its own production, announcers etc. Maybe we had the option and turned it down???

I knew that each school had to finish it's own announcers and production crew, but I didn't know the conferenced had no say in what games are broadcast. Thanks for fixing my screw upđź‘Ť
