HALFTIME: TROY 21, ULL 17
September 22, 2007
Troy, the worst team in the country in rush defense, has allowed 233 yards on the ground. The Trojans are really a much better team, but they have missed tackle after tackle and the defense is giving up the dump passes. Oh, and Tyrell Fenroy has just 1 carry for 1 yard - the best back in the Belt is injured.
But Desormeaux still has to prove he can pass effectively down the field for ULL to win. Still, it’s too close for comfort if you’re a Troy fan. Josh Allen has been playing really well so far - 5 catches for 113 yards. The change in punter has gone extremely well so far with Greg Whibbs punting three times for at least 40 yards a punt, though watching Adrian Vera punt in pregame warmups is like watching Mark McGwire or Sammy Sosa take batting practice. It’s too bad that won’t convert onto the field in a real game.
Looks like another game that will run late, but so far it’s been a pretty good one to watch.
