Did anyone notice Carlton Marshall's helmet during the game. He literally knocked sections of the black off of it. I have never seen anyone do that. He was laying the wood down last night. We all need to enjoy the last few games with him because players like him don't come around often. He is something special

I sat in section 209 (2-0) before today when I have sat there. But really enjoyed who ever was sitting behind me that group was loud and rowdy. Way better than when I have sat in the GA endzone or anywhere else and everyone just quiet and stares at me for cheering and whistling. that’s my old section. 207/209 are legit 🔥

WRONG - got to be able to run the ball - he missed some throws last night indeed - if we ever get to 125 or more yards rushing per game, this team will be very hard to beat One of the run game issues is why are we running a zone read option. Nobody is afraid of Gunnar running so they are crashing. Now draw looked good and worked good. An athletic QB that can run and extend plays is huge. Look at Coastal for proof. We have to make adjustments to get a run game going and zone read isn't there First play from scrimmage we ran an RPO. Gunnar elected to throw a quick slant to a wide open Barber and the pass, a little behind Barber, was dropped. We ran the exact play 2 other times and completed the passes for 2 of our biggest gains. RPO will work with Gunnar but the run option has to be to a back, as it was on this play. It is a well designed play utilizing the skill sets of the players involved.

All I can say is QB, QB, QB is got to get better. The thing I’m wondering is what is the actual gap between Gunnar and Doege. Is Gunnar far and away better? Obviously I’m not a coach but I do have some basic understanding of mechanics and technique. To me Gunnar seems slow with decision making. The ball doesn’t come out of his hand with zip and his throwing motion seems slow at times. 2 throws (1 to the TE and 1 to Tez) were touchdowns had he placed the ball properly. I will trust the dudes that get paid major cash to do that job but I am genuinely curious about the talent/performance gap between the 2.

My point was they aren't accounting for the QB to run. Watched the Coastal vs Ga St game and you 110% have to account for their QB. Different offense I know but I think Watson needs some play action more than option read. Other thing that I picked up and maybe it was TV but it doesn't look like we have much of splits in our OL which can make the run lanes tighter

Excellent points and I am curious also to the development of Costelli

That defense was something else Im telling you they got after it. Wku loves to spin it but QB better get rid of it quickly. Great to sit with Peewee26 and his dad. Troy wins it's a great day Glad to have great seat mates/neighbors!

We're in good hands. Food for thought: (The HC we don’t speak of) took a Neal Brown championship team and ran it into the ground. Sumrall took a mediocre-at-best team and made them into contenders. Yes, there are issues to work out but as they say Rome wasnât built in a day.

Yes, there are issues to work out but as they say Rome wasnât built in a day. I like where your heads at! All off season we talked about the offense being behind the defense. We knew the defense was full of studs and was well coached the last few years by B Hall. The returning offensive players had multiple O-line coaches and offensive "gurus" who did not turn out to be such geniuses after all. The new offensive staff had never worked together in any capacity before much less with this current roster. There is a mix of older and new players to go along with a new staff. Everyday is a step closer to getting "it". Clearly it all starts with the O-line and whether you agree or not, they are getting better. One thing I really like from HCJS and that staff is the fact that they continue to go for it when it's 4th and short. Do they convert them all, no, but they've not bit us in the butt yet and with everyone, they gain more confidence. As stated more times than once, Rome was not built in a day and I like where we are headed!

We should improve as fans as well. This time last week, there were twice as many posts in the game thread where we lost. No doubt we at least improved on D. Let’s give them the props they deserve.

One of the best showing from a Troy defense I've ever seen, even when you consider Vic Koenning coached here. Marshall would have been shut out if we hadn't fumbled in our own red zone.

The Death Machine is back. #2 is the best LB in Troy (State) history. No debate.

Tailgating and talking Troy football for 8 hours before kickoff, the topic of defense came up. My father in law and I were discussing how HCJS said in his Monday presser that he was going to fix the defense. Sometime in the first, my FIL and I looked at each other and said: “He fixed it!” That’s what is different about this team. They recognize deficits and correct them. That is why coaches make the big bucks.

TE overthrow I remembered was a missed block by an OL on a defensive lineman. Not on Gunnar when that pressure is there it’s difficult to make a precise throw. So I’ll eat that comment.
