South Alabama @ Troy, 7CT ESPN2

[texifornia 56561]

Another week of football begins. I'm ready to be hurt again. But first, the Wednesday night Sun Belt amuse bouche.

USA is 1-5, managing to keep things within 2 possessions against Nebraska, beating an HBCU, then falling to pieces. On the positive side, the cheerleaders in the picture are actual triplets.

Troy is 2-3 after playing the sacrificial lamb to Mizzou, beating Akron and some guy named Campbell, and losing to Southern Miss and ArkSt.

Let's get degenerate

Update: This is a "rivalry" - the Battle for the Belt

[texifornia 56561]

Troy up 3-0. They look much more athletic than USA.

[DaysOff 7855]

Troy has WRs running wide open and the qb is an accurate gunslinger. Must be nice.

USA is horribad. That dude Todd could be Malcolm Epps and would still look like that.

[texifornia 56561]

TD Trojans 10-3

"He's got a knack. For finding the crack." doesn't need to become a catchphrase.

[texifornia 56561]

Hah! The kicker's career long INTO THE WIND doesn't count due to running into the kicker. 

Points come off the board, but USA is happy.

[texifornia 56561]

And they end up with no points! Mystery play calling in the red zone there.

Yeah this game is a fucking blast.

[ButtFumble 5159]

all these turnovers

both of these teams are probably better than their record indicates

[ButtFumble 5159]

pass off his face...lutz

[texifornia 56561]

Aw that's too bad about Todd. He's been a lot of fun to watch this game.

[GreenspointTexas 9568]

This game delivers

[TheBryMan81 2503]

Girlfriend (no pics) is a Troy alum, so go Trojans!

[ButtFumble 5159]

that was pretty good clock management getting that 47 seconds and scoring 3 in a game like this

there are about 50 NCAA and NFL coaches that could never make that happen in 100 tries

[texifornia 56561]

Fun half. @Westtexashorn is going to be on pins and needles in the second half - Troy does look a bit sharper.

[ButtFumble 5159]

what a catch totally 1 handed from the jump man position

[texifornia 56561]

Holy shit what a snag for USA

[texifornia 56561]

Imagine coming all the way from Australia to get your degree at..... South Alabama.

I’m a sucker for abuse... USA qb inspires zero confidence

Bwhahahhaah at that kick for cash

[texifornia 56561]

Second fun little trick play for a first down for Troy. They have zero problem going for it on 4th, too. I like them.

yea but there are plenty of hot girls on every southern college campus (but one on the Brazos) and he is on the football team, has that accent, and is probably older than most college guys....he is shagging trim left and right without even trying

[Dr Fear 1267]

Bwhahahhaah at that kick for cash

My wife just actually got a little pissed at the announcers for making fun of him.

[texifornia 56561]

TD Troy

[Westtexashorn 6]

Hard to believe this team hung with Nebraska.

ahahahaha WHAT a conversion. This game is a hoot.

Hope that Trojan is ok, though. He got crushed by the RB.

[GreenspointTexas 9568]

I love me some MACtion

[texifornia 56561]

Hooooooooly shit the one time Johnson nails the deep bomb. What a fucking whiff.

[texifornia 56561]

And USA stays alive!

Barker must be INFURIATING for Troy fans. He's clearly talented but boy he does dumb shit regularly.

[GreenspointTexas 9568]

What a hit

[texifornia 56561]

Not sure there was a lot of intention there, but the crown of the helmet got him.

[ButtFumble 5159]

I think no intention. but he lit him up

[Westtexashorn 6]

Their red zone offense is putrid

And now they might be forced to put their backup, more runner-y QB in, as if Johnson had any touch on his passes.

[GreenspointTexas 9568]

Wait, their RB was working at DoorDash 2 weeks ago? And he had to come back to the team due to injuries?

[GreenspointTexas 9568]

Billingsley gonna party at Taylors house after this one if the score holds up

Seems like he was a scholarship player and everything, so not quite as wild as that Navy QB coming down from the stands to play:

[texifornia 56561]

What. The. Fuck.

Did he mix up the uniforms and think he was the home team?

[ButtFumble 5159]

this a really odd game

on the one hand these teams are playing pretty good football and not a lot of penalties......but then the turnovers and special teams fuck ups like field goals and punting are killing both of them

and the red zone O is really bad for both as well

[ButtFumble 5159]

and another special teams fuck up

[ButtFumble 5159]

then amazing plays like that
