Troy's program pulling away from FAU, rest of Sun Belt
By Marcus Nelson
There was much discussion this week about Troy's dominance of the Sun Belt Conference and many at FAU didn't want to hear of it.
But it's true. Like it or not, the Trojans are the marquee program in the Sun Belt right now and those who doubt it should show up at Movie Gallery Stadium today. It's a magnificent facility with all the amenities needed for a Division I-A program. Compare Troy's stadium to Lockhart Stadium and it's little wonder why the Trojans are pulling away from the Owls - and have been since that wonderful day in 2007.
I hope by the time FAU's stadium is ready, the Trojans haven't left them in the dust.
Owl LinksAt FAUOwlAccess.com we wrote a
preview of the game and had talked to players and coaches for our
Owls Eye View video segment breaking down the game and of course our
predictions on the game. We're pretty hard-core football today, but we didn't forget to write a preview of the men's hoops team taking on American today.
And, now back to football for today where we will be providing Twitter updates from our team of reporters before and during the game from Movie Gallery Stadium. We'll also have our usual post-game coverage including video highlights and analysis.
