You are the one who didn't specify which Trojans you were rooting for

The computer has Troy as the #95 team in the land, but they obviously deserve a lot more respect than that after upending Texas. But looking at the roster I think that win is a bigger upset than Jets over Colts ... bigger than Douglas over Tyson.

Their QB Kilroy has more INTs than TDs and a 117 rating. There are no 1,000 yard rushers on the team - Terrell had 945.

The offense ranks #57 but the defense is #92.

Looking at the box score from the Texas game, Brian Terrell had 3 TDs - 2 on the ground and a 3rd on a 21 yard pass. He finished with 101 yard and another RB, Jacob Brown, had 112. Troy was 11-18 on 3rd downs and finished with 526 yards - were they possessed? Troy controlled the ball for 35 minutes. So we are going to look to stop the run and dare Kilroy to beat us. Even in the Texas win he didn't complete 50% of his passes (15-32) although he had just about 300 yards.

Sure enough, scouts say that the key for us this game is to slow down Terrell with our #44 rush defense.
