Quick final Troy-OSU thoughts
September 27, 2008
A mudhole, and I’m not too surprised. OSU was fired up and I’m pretty sure Gundy wanted to run it up. But they barely threw the ball in the second half, so you can’t fault that. Troy couldn’t stop the run. Somehow they forget how to tackle when playing the big boys.
Jorrick Calvin will have a couple of quotes that make you wonder what the (expletive) in relation to OSU’s offense. I won’t give away the surprise, but my stuff should be online in roughly an hour. Smart guy, looked great on returns, but wasn’t really thinking. Nothing bulletin-board material, just not a real bright respounse.
I still think Troy’s got enough what it takes to win the Sun Belt. The offense was poised, but had 3 critical turnovers. HOWEVER, they won’t face a defense or offense as good as the one they faced tonight all year long. Will they win the Belt? Not sure. The next game is tough at FAU, but FAU’s done nothing to make me think that Troy won’t do much against them, and it’s on national TV.
Brandon Lang left with a slight tweak to the knee, nothing major and he’ll be back next week. Terence Moore got helped off the field but returned.
I’m going back to Oklahoma City, so I may not see any comments till later tonight or tomorrow.
