So How Good Was Mtsu In 2001?

Does this game has a similar feel to it? Did MTSU have a big out of conference win as they rolled into Denton undefeated in '01? We pulled off the upset then and never looked back.

Troy is that team today.

I think all the attention has been given to our defense, does Vizza and the offense get it rolling today?

Should be fun.

That '01 MTSU offense scared this crap outta me. I think going into that game they averaged over 7 yards/play? It was pretty crazy. They also had a wideout that stood something like 6'7"

I was so drained after the LaMo loss that year, I thought we had no hope. Then we showed up against the Blue Raiders, rolled over them, had a 71 yard punt and never looked back. I don't know if I've ever seen such a transformation from one week to the next in the middle of the season. Usually it's after game 1 going into game 2, and not even that much.

I don't know if this Troy situation mirrors it so much. I like to think we turned the corner last week, and we already have 2 conference losses. I hope we did turn that corner, and it's going to take a miracle to get to New Orleans. Stranger things have happened, though
