A couple quick game notes.
First, we suck, once again, inside the red zone.
Failing to get a single touchdown despite getting inside Troy's 20 yard line 7 times, including multiple times where we got as close as the 3 or 5 yard line, completely screwed us out of any chance to win.
Second, Troy
sucks when it comes to run defense. For the most part, they're pretty decent at pass defense, especially at the end of the game when I threw four straight incomplete passes, in two separate offensive drives, in the last 1:10 of the game. But their run defense sucks. Inside, outside, pitches, sweeps, counters, I was having a field day running the ball. At one point in the first half, I literally ran the ball 18 straight plays. Until those last two 4 and out drives at the end, I had only passed ball 18 times for the entire day, while rushing 56 times. Troy definitely has very poor rush defense.
Third, there goes any chance we had at the Sun Belt title. Arkansas State is no longer the conference leader due to their week 9 loss to North Texas. Instead, the Mean Green of North Texas are the new conference leaders, sitting at 4-1 on the season, while I'm currently in 7th place at 1-3. So any hopes of a conference title are long gone. Now we're just trying to play for either a 7-5 season, at the absolute best, or a 6-6 season, needing to go no worse than 3-1 these last four games to get back to .500.
