Middle Tennessee is not good. But Troy did what good teams should do: they dominated the game. Huge offensive numbers, defense stout, when up big they ran the ball hard chewing up clock. We have a stable of RB.
This team can win a title.

I've been really tough on (The HC we don’t speak of) and staff, but I'll say they coached a hell of a game today. I really liked the aggressiveness on both sides of the ball, improved red zone offense, and not being afraid to score points with a lead, IE: stepping on their neck!
This doesn't mean that I'm going to stop being critical of (The HC we don’t speak of), the season isn't over yet. It sure doesn't mean that I'm ready to give him an extension and a big ol' raise! It just means everyone did a fine job for this game.
Don't say I'm not fair.

Good game!! Much improved it seems. Go TROJANS!! Cry HAVOC!! Just based on the eye test, the defense looked a lot more energized and had better tackling that I saw last year. Next week vs BYU will tell us a lot.

I have been tough on this staff also. Today was fun. It was a very well coached and pretty well disciplined game. The outcome was what it should be and better than DT thought it would be. Though, I did see a win. Not like that. I am looking forward to fun season. Holly hell it was good to see the boys play ball again.

Even though we played a bad MTSU team, this was the first game of the season for us. Overall, I liked the energy, discipline and this team has some playmakers this year. Defense seems much improved and was all over the field. Fire ants everywhere! Looking forward to the BYU game.

I know I was hard on (The HC we don’t speak of) last season. It comes with the job to be ridiculed by deadbeat fans like me.

Very impressed with Lagassey tonight. He's obviously put in some work and deserves to be recognized for it. Was a much bigger win than I expected and a good game to knock some rust off. Holy hell, the MUTS are awful right now. But it was wonderful seeing our boys claim it after that blowout.

Strength and conditioning really stood out to me. Came in to the game with only one guy out and saw a whole lot more blue jerseys on the ground than I saw Troy guys.

I love the probability circle. Does anyone have screenshots of it before the LSU or the Nebraska games? bennekles? Sorry, I just saw this. Unfortunately, no I don't have either of those. I don't take much stock in it, so I've never really paid much attention to it.

I honestly think we are an improved football team from last year. Secondary looked way better than I expected and we never looked confused or out of position. Time will tell on how good we really are but I feel really good about where we are on defense, especially this early in the season. Our KO coverage was excellent and we had plenty of opportunities to showcase that unit. Offense seems like we picked up where we were last year with some added punch in the backfield. I think GW is going to be special and will continue to improve. His calmness in the pocket and swagger really stood out! Bottom line is our boys were well coached and prepared to play. I realize the muts arenât that good but we executed a great game plan and our tempo on offense was fun to watch. I hadnât given up on (The HC we don’t speak of) and staff. He was a first year head coach last year just like in the real world you learn a lot in your first year with any new role. Heâs a smart guy and I think heâs going to end up being a really good head coach when itâs all said and done. Hopefully this is the season where we start to see that and this team becomes something special. Hereâs to the school we love! ð»Go Trojans!

Good game. BYU will tell us a lot. We’ll see what happens. O-Line and quarterback awareness in the pocket will have to get better if we want to have a chance.

The O-LINE is fine...can't hold the blocks forever.Yes his awareness needs to improve but he had more than enough time to get rid of the ball...just held on to the ball to long

This may have been the best played season opener I've by TROY football in a long time. This was a well played game. Are there things to work on? Sure, but this team played with energy, discipline and knowledge of their assignments. It was a good job by all involved.

The 1 play yesterday that gives me the most hope that we are vastly improved....
The SAFETY!!! High motors for the D all day but this play said we are playing with a fire I’m not sure I saw much last year. It is refreshing to see a D getting after the opposition with that kind of effort.
Go TROJANS!! Cry HAVOC!!

We looked good in last years opener also. Troy looked very good against a very bad MTSU. MTSU in two games has been outscored 89-14 and 7 of that 14 came against our 3rd team. I am optimistic but it was kind of hard to tell how good we might be. BYU is going to give us an idea how far improved we are. Things I liked is the tempo we are playing at..very fast. We have 3-4 really good backs, OL gave great protection and I like how we had multiple receivers catching passes and not just 3 or 4. Defensive line looked improved, Martial is a BEAST and secondary didn't look like a deer in the headlights (although MTSU qb's couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat) Also VERY obvious we are stronger and better conditioned. New strength coach was a HUGE move. Sun Belt is tough this year. Our usual basement dweller TX St would crush MTSU this year. App, La La and Coastal have good teams for sure. I think we have the team to play with them. App actually looks down this year which is good. Now time to take care of business and beat the Mormon Boys and go to 2-0. Feeling confident GO TROJANS!!
