Appalachian State vs Troy Game Preview

Why Troy Will Win

While everyone wants to talk about Appalachian State, and all the hype is surrounding the team that just beat Texas A&M, shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Troy is good enough to ruin the narrative.

The passing attack is going to press the production all game long, Appalachian State’s defense will continue to have problems on third downs, and …

The Troy run D won’t hold up in the fourth quarter.

The home side will get pushed, but it’ll grind its way through.
