At the risk of sounding like a Houston Nutt apologist, these guys aren't bad.

Troy has a good quarterback and eight starters back on defense, enough of a base to qualify as pesky - the compliment reserved for the Rice Owls in the days of the Southwest Conference.

Come to find out, many of the Trojans signed on elsewhere and matriculated to Troy for one reason or other. They are not likely to be awestruck by a large crowd in Fayetteville and, in fact, believe such a stage is perfect to taunt schools that passed on them.
