Weaknesses are always exposed more once conference play starts, everyone sells out to win in conference, and there is no more holding back schemes for conference games. Our defensive line has been weak against the run, have to blitz to get pressure, which exposes our db's. We won't be able to stop Troy effectively enough to keep them off the field, which causes offense to lose its rythym.

35-27 for the good guys. Jimmerson has over 200 yards rushing and the team totals 330 rushing yards. We have the ball for 40 minutes because they are so pass heavy while we eat up the clock on the way to victory.

If we have the ball 40 minutes and they still score 27 points then that seems like our Defense/Special teams made absolutely no plays.

Weak against the run with your references KSU and LSU away? Troy may be better than last year, but I don't think anyone is going to confuse them with a top 20 ball club.

As pass heavy as they are their drives will be quick. Three incomplete passes and a punt takes up almost no time on the clock and three play scoring drives take up little time as well. Alternatively, as much as we run the ball we will eat up the clock. We aren't going to double the amount of offensive plays that they run, just the total amount of time they have the ball.
