I know this is a bit early, but after Troy's game tonight, looks like it is gonna be a tough game! Oh yeah. After the recent success, including holding their own against UF, I'm more than a bit worried about the Troy game. That being said, I think we're the two best teams in the conference and I think it's going to be an exciting battle. I hope it's a nailbiter. |

Troy is very tough at home and still remains the only SB team we have yet to beat  |

It is too early to tell if FAU and Troy are the two top teams in the conference. As of today I think Troy is a far better team. They smashed an OSU team that destroyed FAU. However, FAU looked much improved against Minnesota. When the time comes for FAU to play Troy it will be an exciting game.
GO OWLS!!!

I think that missing Cortez Gent and travelling across the country have something to do with it. Lets hope that OSU was an abberation, which I believe it was. Troy is much shorter of a trip and hopefully we will have all of our WRs for that game.
That being said, we won't have to worry about Troy if we don't take care of our SunBelt buisness before then. Right now its all about North Texas, and the mean green. Lets get to 2-0 in the SunBelt.

Could not be more correct. We need to stop thinking ahead like we have this thing locked and just play a game at a time. I remember after the Hawaii win we got smoked by VALDOSTA STATE.

This just in:
The Owls can play the spread very effectively...
Auburn cant.
Troy will be a good team, but we will have our equal chance to win it - period.
This is still subject to my preaseason prediction that Omar will bow out to inury...
If they lose him, season's over for the Helen's of Troy...

Not really over. Omar is great, but Troy has a couple of guys in the wings that can play QB.
Omar is tough. He has a bruised finger, but has been pretty accurate despite the injury. If Troy's conservative coach hadn't called off the dogs and gone to an ineffective run-up-the-middle offense for the entire fourth quarter, the Trojans would have easily hung 60 on OSU, and Omar would have had 400-plus yards by the air.
And they left points on the field before the half by running out of TOs and not getting out of bounds.
Next year look for a couple of excellent QBs (one redshirted this year who had offers at Kentucky, South Carolina and elsewhere). He's a spread specialist.
Troy's supposedly solid D-line needs to be shored up. It is not producing and Troy has been susceptible to the run. Pass defense is pretty good on the Wiregrass. I'm a bit worried about a letdown game this weekend verus a very P.O.'d (loss to McNeese State) ULL.

BUT, i have done my homework, and the Troy offense minus Omar is NOT the same...no ground attack from the QB - big loss... Just MHO though  |
