Stands looked 3/4 full on TV. What was announced attendance? 27,514 27,514 and they were rowdy. It was the loudest crowd in a while.

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

Now those are valid criticisms and I don’t think I would argue against any of them. That is a long way, however, from saying everybody sucks and needs to lose their job.

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.

Gunnar Watson’s press conference leads me to believe the best is yet to come. His opinion is that we are on the verge of being the best we can be. When that happens, nobody will stop us. I believe him. We are a few mistakes in call and execution from scoring lots of points.
I’m all in and pumped up.

Can someone explain to me why the blocked field goal couldn't be touched or advanced? I still didn't quite get Sumrall's explanation.

A blocked field goal is a dead ball unless the defensive team touches it after the block. If the defensive team possesses, or attempts to posses a blocked field goal and fails to maintain possession through the end of the play, the ball is live and can be recovered and advanced by the kicking team.
20+ years ago, Dallas lost a game to Miami when, in the snow, they blocked a Miami field goal. One of the Cowboy players, Leon Lett maybe, attempted to fall on it and cover it. He slid in the snow, hit the ball but failed to successfully cover it and it rolled into the end zone. His touching it kept it live and Miami fell on it in the endzone for the decisive score.

The NFL net work production was fantastic. Lots of video from around campus. They gave Troy a lot of love. Would love to have another game on NFL net work.

Never going to win with Watson at QB and Crappock calling plays.... fact But we won and we covered by 12.5 points wasn't pretty but this team will get better they are good - they will get better Brandon Hall had this D in a great place last year last night - we left at least 6 points or maybe 14 points - but the o made mistakes they are getting better BUT - we must be able to run the ball if we really want to get over the hump and win conference titles We headed that way though

I know TV and some here have raved about Gunnar, but we're gonna sink sticking with this guy. 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

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

I wouldn’t made making some packages with Peter Costello on 3rd and shorts for RPO type plays. That year with deon Anthony was awesome.

Watson shows flashes of brilliance, that if were complimented by a strong running game, we could score on anybody. In our total team improvement, Watson is not our worry.

It all comes down to run game,no qb can be perfect when the d can just disregard the run and pin their ears back.

The o line showed signs of gelling though and that makes me hopeful.There we’re times even on blitzes Gunnar had time to get rid of the ball.

We scored three points. The typical "good" fan has at least SOME joy over scoring points rather than just piling on the hate. You sure YOU don't go to Jax. State? If we pay enough, will you be THEIR fan instead? Lighten up snow flake. If you are stupid enough to think we are going to win games scoring 6 offensive points you probably went to Suck St. Coached more and played more and forgot more football than you know. You have to put TD's on the board and we are 0-4 tonight in the red zone Troy did in fact win the game last night

You have to put TD's on the board and we are 0-4 tonight in the red zone Troy did in fact win the game last night We don't look at or quibble over those details. It's far easier to just bash and hate all the things that went wrong or that someone did wrong. Even on good plays, there's probably someone screwing up. And fltrojan is on the case to make sure we know who and what that is. He's the only rocket scientist in our group and football is, afterall, rocket science and very difficult for just anyone to understand the strategy and method behind it all. If not for him, we'd be lost.

You know what the 1st amendment is right?
