A lot of different sports writers have Troy as a top 4 program in the belt. I like what I've seen as far as recruiting and such. Where do you think Troy will end up?
I'm gonna go with 8-4 with a bowl win.
We beat Abilene Christian, GA State, Idaho, NMSU, Duke, App State, UAB
Toss up, ULM, USA, GA Southern**
Loss. ULL, UGA
** ga southern is a toss up because it's at their house on national tv... They will be pumped and ready. You remember how we were when we played Marshall?

I would think Duke would be a loss if we are going to lose to LaLa? ? I agree with most except Duke? Not a sure win, especially after how they played A&M in the bowl game. 8-4 or 7-5 is within reach. The games that worry me aren't the obvious. UAB with Clark with new QB concerns me. On paper we should win but anything can happen..remember we went to OT with them last year. USA and Georgia Southern are the other two. We need to win those three because we will beat ACU, GA St., Idaho, NMSU, and App St.. That would give us 8 even if we lose to Duke, UGA, ULM and LaLa.

I think ULL is a better program than Duke. Duke won't be as strong this year and we nearly beat them at their place last year... We will likely have 25k+ in the stands and we usually play very well with a near full house. That's JMO.

UA'sB scares me... Clark is a heck of a coach... USA also scares me... They want to beat us, badly...
With that being said 7-5 or at worst 6-6... With a bowl birth in Montgomery.

With the new coaches in the secondary, this team won't lose an SBC game and UGA may be our only loss...12-0 until we lose.

I'm thinking 8 or 9 wins and a bowl game so best case is 10 in my mind. I doubt we will win less than 7 games.
UAB........ WIN DUKE....... WIN ACU........ WIN UGA........ LOSS ULM........ LOSS NMSU....... WIN APP ST..... WIN USA........ WIN GA SOUTH... WIN GSU........ WIN IDAHO...... WIN ULL........ LOSS
9-3 IS MY PREDICTION WITH A BOWL WIN MAYBE 10-3

They wondered what we'd do after Omar left. People wondered what we'd do after Levi left. They wondered what we'd do after DuJuan left. People wondered how we'd replace Jerrel...There will always be questions about the talent, or lack thereof, but with the off-season changes to improve the secondary, this could very well be a championship team. I'm averse to "worst-case senarios" so let the sunshine-pumpin' begin!

I'm averse to "worst-case senarios" so let the sunshine-pumpin' begin! The loss of ET could play a role early. I'm hoping Bentley can step into that role. The other guys we added on JUCO and the return of Holmes, Worthy, and KD Edenfield will keep this unit moving right along. The big losses come in the secondary, but could it really get any worse? I think we have more talent back there this year. Hoping for good things. Keep pumping, brotha.

“Recruiting helps, but I think with the guys (here), it’s about confidence,” Pogue said. “Hopefully I can bring some technique things to these guys. “I had a meeting with one player (Wednesday), and I told him, ‘It’s obvious that you’re very talented. If not, you wouldn’t be here. I’m gonna try and build on some things that you’ve learned and get better on the back end and have a top pass defense in this conference.” ( Full Article) This will be a much improved defense this season. I truly believe that JR got away from some of this while coordinating the entire defense. Can't say I'm not ready for a defensive renaissance for the Men of Troy.

Yep, the back four have not been coached in many years.

As Spurrier has said; it's best to play uga early to take advantage if their multiple suspensions.
