GGSM{Troy}

November 12--North Texas came into Troy knowing what it's like to have worn the Shame Mask, and they don't like it.  The Mean Green took an early lead, but then the Trojans fought back.  Two second quarter touchdowns gave them a 21-17 lead, but then they surrendered a touchdown with 0:42 left in the first half.  Troy regained the lead with a third quarter touchdown, but they missed the extra point.  At the start of the fourth quarter, however, they fell apart, and allowed North Texas two touchdowns in less than 20 seconds.  After a 46-yard North Texas touchdown pass, and Troy's Corey Robinson threw an incomplete pass and then was sacked and lost a fumble to set up a 6-yard North Texas touchdown run on the next play.  Troy rebounded with a 16-play touchdown drive to cut the lead to 38-33, but North Texas chewed up the clock with a 13-play drive consuming 7:28 and turning it over on downs giving Troy the ball with only 0:15 seconds to cover 74 yards.

November 19--Here's something you want when you are wearing a Shame Mask:  A team with a 12-game losing streak comes to visit.  That's exactly what Troy got in Florida Atlantic.  FAU allowed a game-winning field goal as the clock expired to Louisiana-Lafayette, but they had lost every other game by at least two touchdowns.  Also, the nation's worst offense was just what Troy's 114th ranked defense needed.  Both teams started sluggishly, but then Troy turned it on late in the second quarter and never looked back.  They beat the Owls 34-7.
