GGSM{Troy}

October 25--Traditional Sun Belt powerhower Troy went down to Miami to face traditional Sun Belt doormat Florida International, but this time the tables were turned, and it was Troy wearing the Shame Mask. Old habbits die hard, though, and Troy jumped out to a 7-0 first quarter lead, and they led 7-3 at the half. However, FIU's QB Wesley Carroll connected on 76- and 42-yard touchdown passes early in the third quarter gave them the lead. Troy didn't fold things up and go home after surrendering their lead. No, they rallied for a touchdown of their own, and they didn't even let the failed PAT stop them. A minute later, they returned a fumble for a touchdown to take a 20-17 lead at the end of the third quarter. Unfortunately, they gave up a tying field goal in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime. Troy missed a field goal to start the overtime, but FIU's was true to seal the 23-20 victory.

November 5--Apart from the second quarter, the Troy-Navy game was pretty even. However, there was that little matter off the second quarter. Troy had four rushes for 8 yards, two passes for 9 yards, but lost 10 on a sack (not counting the 13-yard pass on the final play of the half), and three punts. Navy started the second with a 48-yard touchdown pass, and then rushed 21 times for 172 yards and three more touchdowns to take a 35-0 halftime lead. They held on to win 42-14.
