How does Troy compare to Syracuse?

They don't. But probably a similar game and outcome.

Syracuse is better than Troy. I think people will say Troy played Boise St. close in the first game but this isn't Boise of old this year. We will win but it most likely will be a close game throughout.

Oh how the mighty have fallen

I just hope Troy doesn't have a Demarcus Ware type DE this year.

The fact that this question even entered someone's brain shows exactly where the program is at.

If we're being totally honest and objective, LSU was lucky to pull that one out against Syracuse. They played harder and looked more prepared.

And yes, that shows exactly where we stand as a program.

They were beating our arse in like 08 when our team was better than it is now.

Not good enough to beat us

I think Syracuse QB (Dungey) is a little better, and more agile than Troy's Silvers.

The "x" factor in this game is the uniform choice. LSU, while wearing purple shirts w/ gold pants and headgear, hasn't historically played very well. There seems to be some kind of funny mojo attached to that combination. Purple jerseys w/ white pants and helmets might be the better option. A loss to Troy this year would be as embarrassing as the UAB loss way back when.

if they don't drop that wide open pass in the end zone, I think the game comes down to the final play. They had to punt the ball back to us after that. It was a reverse pick-6 in our favor

It was a trap game. Looking ahead to LSU
