Apart from the second half of the UCA game, I can’t remember a time when this team has enjoyed a significant amount of time with a lead. The Red Wolves play a brand of football that is terribly exhausting to watch.

On the latest Fun Belt Podcast, Troy University SID Adam Prendergast reminds us that the Troy defense is still the power of the Sun Belt. Additionally, we parse the Week 3 results, ponder Week 4, and I go nuclear on the Red Wolves.
“OR” gets the boot in Week 4, with James Blackman listed as the undisputed starter, with Coach Butch Jones citing his downfield ability and leadership as the contributing factors.
