Troy (1-1) vs Southern Miss (1-1) Game Preview
Why Troy Will Win
Troy gave a push to a very, very good Liberty team in a 21-13 loss.
The defense is outstanding, it’s holding running games in check, and it has enough offensive parts to own third downs all while not turning the ball over.

There’s plenty of dinking and dunking going on, and the midrange throws were there in the blowout win over Grambling, but the Troy defense is a whole different animal.

What’s Going To Happen
Southern Miss has a turnover issue early on.
Troy hasn’t been air tight, but it’s been able to generate four takeaways in the first two games, the defense has been great overall, and the offensive balance should be just enough to pull this off.
On the other side, the Golden Eagles have five turnovers so far, and the passing game isn’t effective enough to push through after getting down early.
