Look, reality is this: Troy wasn’t very good last year.
Look at PAC-12 stats:
Scoring offense: 8
Total Offense: 7
Passing yards: 9
Pass Efficiency (team): 10
3rd down conversion: 8
Ref Sone Offense: 11
Pass Avg/game: 6
Pass Efficiency: 8/10 eligible QB’s
Total offense from a QB: 7
He threw for 53%.
BUT, and here is the KILLER:
Turnovers. Troy put the ball in the ground at an ALARMING rate. He threw 15 TD’s and rushed for 5 more.
He threw 8 INT’s and fumbled the ball 11 times.
That’s 20 TD’s and 19 INT’s/fumbles.
That is not that good.
I’m glad someone outplayed him. I’m glad we are getting better.
