Jim Dunaway on NBC 13 Sports last night said, "Tonight, Troy did NOTHING to help schedule a future game with Alabama or Auburn."
Great statement. Troy was very impressive. Their D looked great. The QB from Mizzou was supposed to be a Heisman candidate, and they were all over him. That campaign is over.
Yeah, if I am scheduling games, I'm not gonna schedule Troy. Hopefully, the days of Bama losing to those type teams (Northern Illinois, Central Florida, LA Tech) are over, but imagine if Bama were to schedule Troy and lose. Don't do it. Keep sceduling true cupcakes if you are looking for a cupcake. If you want to schedule a tough team like OU or UCLA, do it, but don't schedule what you think is a cupcake, only to have it bite you in the A double S.
