We need to show our support for the Sun Belt by watching the game tonight and helping the ratings. I'm fearful it could be pretty bad as far as attendance and ratings.

Troy's doing good so far.

7-0 in the first

Wow!! Troy's up 14-0 with Rice driving.

This may be a shootout. :shuriken: :blowup:

Makes you wonder: Did NT get worse over the last several years? Or did the SBC get better? Or maybe a little bit of both.

Not sure but North Texas only lost to the eventual conference champion bowl represenative the past two years by 7 and 8 points respectively. Troy is up on Rice 28-10 at half. They only scored 14 against NT.

By the way, they have already mentioned it in the 1st quarter but Troy is running a new offense that was installed this year. That makes both of these two teams running a difference offense than they did a year ago.

Next Up...........NORTH TEXAS!

I think it would be safe to say that coaching makes all the difference. :unsure:

Can't stand Spielman...he acts like the game is so easy, hey Captain Obvious hindsight's 20/20, right?

"see him go for a tackle there? Next time I would like to see him wrap up." Really? You would? Your analysis is astounding :thumbdown:

Not surprising. I would argue our D is as good or better than that of Rice. Our ineptitude on offense just killed us over and over again.

I am very impressed with Troy's D, they have a lot of speed. Not giving Rice much time at all. Nice to see our conference is obviously improving. Hope MTSU can put on a similar show. that would go a long way to help the perception of the SBC.

This is a HUGE win for the Belt and a HUGE win for Troy. They will be a force to reckon with next year both in and out of conference. Great win Trojans! Way to play to win!
