South Carolina vs Troy Game Preview
Why Troy Will Win
The pass rush is a killer.
The offensive side might be hit-or-miss, but the Trojan defense has been suffocating. It’s allowing fewer than 100 rousing yards per game and 244 overall yards per outing helped by 18 sacks in the four games.

What’s Going To Happen
The two defenses will take over.
Troy’s D will keep the game from getting out of hand, but the South Carolina running game will be steady enough to get a few points on the board. The Trojan offense will have its chances to take over, but it’ll stall time and again.
It’s not going to be pretty, but South Carolina will take a 3-2 start.
